Oceania Cruises has positioned itself as the cruise line of choice for travelers seeking a truly refined and casually elegant travel experience. Oceania's fleet includes three intimate and luxurious 684-guest ships that allow guests to explore the world in style and comfort.
Cruise DescriptionOnce you sail on one of our luxurious ships, you will never settle for anything less, nor will you ever again be satisfied with anything more in regard to size. Larger ships simply cannot provide the pronounced intimacy, coziness and personalized vacation experience for which Oceania Cruises has become renowned. Our ships cater to just 684 pampered guests on Regatta, Insignia, Nautica and Sirenaand 1,250 privileged guests on Marina and Riviera. Warmth and conviviality come naturally. Elegance and grace are givens. The ambiance is exceptionally relaxed and personal as we singularly focus on your individual desires. Consequently, service standards soar, guests easily develop a rapport with staff and fellow guests, and the friendships only deepen as the days pass effortlessly.
AccessibilityThe Oceania fleet includes the Regatta, Insignia and Nautica. All three ships have three accessible inside staterooms in the G category. Two more ships, the Marina and Riviera, will join the fleet in 2011 and 2012 respectively. These ships will each have six accessible staterooms, two inside-facing staterooms, two ocean-facing and two verandas.
The median age for cruisers on Oceania's ships is 67 years old, and understanding their clientele, the ships themselves are accessible. The accessible staterooms have wider doorways to the staterooms and bathrooms to accommodate wheelchairs, roll-in / roll-out showers, grab bars in the bathrooms, and an alert button. For guests who are deaf or hard of hearing, room kits featuring a visual and tactile alert system are available upon request and televisions provide close captioning on some channels.
Two points that guests with disabilities should be aware of include, The Main Lounge has one step that goes down to the dance floor; however, the ships have spaces reserved for wheelchairs that provide good sightlines to the shows; The doors on the decks are wooden, not automatic. Guests should not be discouraged by this though as the ships have more than 400 staff members who are readily on hand to assist with opening doors. These staff members are also very accommodating with carrying trays on the buffet lines, getting drinks and providing unrivaled personalized service.
Other accessibility features include embarkation and debarkation assistance; accessible gaming; corridors that allow for 180 degree wheelchair turns; and Braille/tactile signage and elevator controls.
ExcursionWhat a joy to be at sea, indulging in the bountiful pleasures of your Oceania Cruises ship. Yet, as immensely fulfilling as being at sea is, there is far more to cruising than the time spent on board. Most days our ships are docked in port, often departing in the late hours of the evening or even spending the night. Here, in the world's most desirable destinations, exploration reaps rewards of an entirely different sort. Depending on how deeply you wish to delve, you may opt for a shore excursion of a few hours or a full day. Literally hundreds of unique opportunities are offered each season, opening new worlds of adventure.
