Let’s go on an Oceania Cruise!

Hello Oakridge area – Welcome to my new monthly travel column! As a past Oakridge resident (28 yrs) and currently living in London, I’m excited to bring to you my favourite travel partners. Let’s Talk about one of my favourite Cruise Lines – Oceania Cruises

Picturesque, in a word, describes entering the World of Oceania. Eight small, luxurious ships, maximum of 1250 guests per ship, with itineraries ranging from 7 to 200 days, covering 7 continents and over 100 countries, in other words, stopping at half the countries in the world. The experiences on Oceania both on ship and off are virtually limitless, Oceania is truly the Pearl in the Oyster! Oceania Cruises prides itself in being the world’s leading culinary and destination-focused cruise line. A tag line of Relaxed Yet Refined , applies to dining aboard its eight luxurious ships. The ships offer gourmet specialty restaurants which are smaller and intimate, as well as the classic dining room. Whether a table with a white linen tablecloth or a pizza in the cafe, the simplicity of offering the perfect combination is of prime importance. The menus are created by one of the most innovative culinary teams, designed by Jacques Pepin and his chefs, in combination with board member Giada de Laurentiis. With over half the crew of an Oceania Ship dedicated to the preparation or serving of cuisine, you can understand why they boast the reputation of “The Finest Cuisine at Sea”. Oceania offers a complement of amenities to enhance the experience. Inclusions such as unlimited WiFi; laundry service; soda, specialty coffee and tea; gourmet ice cream and, beginning January of 2025, shipboard gratuities are included. I invite you to contact me and chat about how the Magic of an Oceania Experience can entice you to the sea! Barbara

The sense of warmth and camaraderie from dedicated staff. The thrill of becoming awestruck as you arrive at a fabled destination for the first time. The joy of celebrating life, with indulgent cuisine.

It’s the personal experiences that will last a lifetime.
