There may be no better way to sail the South Pacific, see the Great Barrier Reef or try a perfect flat white than by taking Oceania cruises. Why is Oceania so great? It’s the company’s attention to detail and the myriad benefits that Oceania includes.
Unraveling the Islands of Oceania
Oceania, a vast, seemingly endless expanse of blue, is home to more than 10,000 islands, dotting the Pacific Ocean like jewels in a crown. From the sun-soaked shores of Australia and New Zealand, across the great dividing range of the Southern Alps, to the far-flung islands of Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia, the area of Oceania is a wonderland of diverse cultures, mesmerizing landscapes, and unparalleled beauty. The islands of Australia, Papua New Guinea, and New Zealand, along with the Pacific Islands, make up the core countries in Oceania, with numerous dependent territories adding to the total land area.
However, Oceania is not just a geographical term encompassing a multitude of islands and island groups. It’s also a window to a world teeming with life, where the old meets the new, where Asia and the Americas converge, and where the Pacific Ocean unfolds its tales of exploration, conquest, and survival.

Exquisite Culinary Experience
Oceania’s guests are typically well-traveled, seeking personalized service, world-class cuisine, and an in-depth, destination-focused experience. The cruise line answers these requirements by offering exotic itineraries to remote destinations worldwide, frequently with overnight stays to allow guests to immerse themselves in the history, culture, and cuisine during port calls. Executive Culinary Director Jacques Pepin, a master chef of immense acclaim, has assembled a menu of culinary delights that are the highlight of every guest’s evening.
Enriching Entertainment and Amenities
The sophisticated ambiance of Oceania Cruises extends to the onboard entertainment as well. Whether you’re in the mood for a 12-piece orchestra or jazz band, a cabaret show, or local and regional entertainment from the ports you visit, there’s something for everyone. Oceania also hosts guest lecturers, including famous authors and former ambassadors, who provide onboard enrichment. Combining the best of new and old pastimes, Oceania Cruises preserves classic traditions like afternoon tea while providing contemporary services like 24-hour Internet access aboard all of its cruise ships.
