Oceania Cruises isn't a brand line many Aussie travellers are familiar with, but you should be. Particularly if you are a foodie or a cruiser from another brand, it's time to sit up and take note!
Inspired by legendary Master Chef Jacques Pepin, Oceania's cuisine rivals Michelin-starred restaurants ashore. Half of the ship's staff and crew are dedicated to the culinary experience. As a result, their superb gourmet restaurants offer exquisite menu choices from Continental cuisine to Asian fusion and from authentic Italian to classic steakhouse fare.
Every restaurant is complimentary - there are no speciality dining supplements to pay, and each has open seating so you may dine when and as you please.
If you’re not convinced, let me tell you that there is one chef on board for every 10 guests!!! This does not happen anywhere else…..and it is not by accident. Oceania is unashamedly known for having "The Finest Cuisine at Sea", so much so that they have trademarked this terminology and market their cruises as such.
On an Oceania cruise you will never pay for a specialty restaurant, a coffee, a wine with dinner, or even a bottle of water. And you definitely do not have to tip after your meal. In fact, your beverage package includes a generous selection of vintage Champagnes, wines and beers to compliment your dining experience. How refreshing.
And it gets better when you realise that more than 8,000 immersive shore excursions are available, ranging from sommelier- and chef-led food and wine tours, through to highly customizable Executive Collection options, as well as all shipboard gratuities, port shuttles, activities and entertainment onboard are all included.
In an era when many cruise lines are seemingly charging for everything once you are onboard, here is a cruise line bucking the trend. Your cruise fare covers pretty well everything once you're onboard and represents outstanding value.
I recently spent some time onboard Oceania Regatta, one of eight designer-inspired vessels in their fleet of luxury small ships. Aside from being food obsessed, Oceania is a destination focussed cruise line and visits more than 600 boutique ports in over 100 countries across 7 continents.
