Oceania Cruises
Contents
Oceania Cruises sails to more than 180 ports in Europe, China and the Far
East, Australia, New Zealand, South America, Central America and the Caribbean.
Featuring three intimate and elegant mid-sized ships, Regatta, Insignia and
Nautica, the line will introduce two new mid-size Oceania-Class ships to its
award-winning fleet by 2011.
Oceania Cruises, with headquarters in Miami, Florida, is owned by Prestige Cruise Holdings, a subsidiary of Apollo Management L.P. Savvy and sophisticated readers of Travel+Leisure and Conde Nast Traveler regularly rank Oceania Cruises as one of the world's finest cruise lines. These prestigious awards reaffirm the line's unique brand positioning and leadership within the hospitality industry and place the line above the leading premium cruise lines and in the esteemed company of the world's most respected luxury brands.
On an Oceania Cruise, you will enjoy the flexibility of four open seating restaurants; you dine when, where and with whom you choose. Tuxedos and gowns are never a requirement for dining so you can dress and enjoy the evening comfortably. Each cruise ship holds less than 700 guests, so with a staff of 400 on board, you are sure to enjoy highly personalized service. There's a sense of warmth and intimacy throughout, so the ambiance resembles that of a private country club-casual, yet elegant.

but elegant throughout the cruise and country club and resort-style attire is

shorts, jeans, t-shirts or tennis shoes for evening meals in all of the
restaurants. Bathing suits without a cover-up should not be worn in any of the
indoor restaurants. Attire ashore is recommended to be casual and comfortable
and Oceania's place a particular emphasis on appropriate footwear, including good
walking shoes and in some destinations, reef-walkers and beach sandals. Some
tourist sites may require specific attire. Please consult with the Destination
Services desk for more information.
