Oceania Cruises was formed in 2002 by cruise industry veterans Joe Watters, Bob Binder, and Frank Del Rio. The finest cuisine at sea, award-winning itineraries, and outstanding value define Oceania Cruises’ five-star product and have positioned the company as the cruise line of choice for travelers seeking a truly refined and casually elegant cruise experience.
The onboard atmosphere on Oceania Cruises is relaxed and reminiscent of the casual elegance of a country club. Tuxedos and gowns are never a requirement for dining, so you can dress and enjoy the evening comfortably. The overall feeling is one that is never stuffy and void of any pretension onboard an Oceania cruise.
America’s Vacation Center customers will enjoy the flexibility of four open seating restaurants, dining when, where, and with whom you choose. Oceania Cruises’ five–star menus are crafted under the meticulously watchful eye of renowned master chef Jacques Pépin, Oceania Cruises’ Executive Culinary Director. Host of numerous public television series, he is one of America’s best known chefs, food columnists, and cook book authors. Jacques has also served as the personal chef to no less than three French heads of state, including Charles de Gaulle.
Oceania Cruises’ three intimate and luxurious 684 passenger ships, Insignia, Nautica, and Regatta feature itineraries to the Caribbean, Mediterranean, Mexico, Panama Canal, and Scandinavia that are tailored to include many overnight port stays allowing passengers time to immerse themselves in the history, culture, and local flavor of the region.
