Miami-based Oceania Cruises emphasizes a destination-intensive, floating-hotel experience with top-notch food and superior service. Their five star menus are designed by renowned master chef Michel Roux.
The cruise line originally began when they chartered vessels from the now-defunct Renaissance Cruises (its 684-passenger R1 and R2, renaming them Regatta and Insignia). Its third ship — another Renaissance R-class vessel — joined the fleet in 2005 and is named Nautica.
In an expansion move, Oceania Cruises decided to increase their fleet by adding two new-builds to their fleet. Their new flagship, the Marina which debuted in January 2011 can accommodate 1,250 guests and provides even more culinary choices for guests, with 10 different dining venues, six which are open seating gourmet restaurants, all at no additional surcharges. The Riviera, which is a sister ship to the Marina, will debut in April 2012.
Overall, Oceania Cruises appeals to cruisers who want destination-oriented experiences with world class cuisine and top personalized service. They managed to create a premium experience — particularly in the areas of cuisine and service — at a mid-market price point. Ultimately, the company offers one of the industry’s best value-for-money options in cruising.
