|---|---|---|
| Dubai | Tuesday, May 14, 2024 | Tuesday, May 14, 2024 |
| Dubai is a member of the United Arab Emirates, the cluster of sheikdoms along the Arabian Sea. Located at the crossroads between East and West, the emirate's long-standing trading tradition has for centuries brought visitors from throughout the Middle East and neighbouring regions. Now modernized, Dubai continues to attract many with its international facilities and its exotic, yet cosmopolitan lifestyle. Dubai has the best prices in the Arab Gulf states for gold, electronics, perfumes and is a tax-free city. It also has good beaches and excellent resort hotels. The town was the residence of the British political agent for the former Trucial States from 1954 until 1971. Known as the Venice of the Gulf, Dubai is the chief port and commercial center of the United Arab Emirates. | ||
| Fujairah | Wednesday, May 15, 2024 | Wednesday, May 15, 2024 |
| Fujairah, with a stunning setting of wide sandy beaches set against a backdrop of the rugged Haijar mountains, is an emirate of contrasts, attracting slowly a growing number of visitors, especially those in search of a different kind of “sun, sea and sand†vacation. Careful planning ensures preservation and protection of the town’s rich cultural heritage and natural beauty. Despite several new luxury hotels and resorts along the picturesque coastline, the charm and tranquility, which characterized the town in times gone by, remain largely unchanged. In addition to ancient fortresses perched on rocky hilltops, there are date palm groves that grow to the sea’s edge, abundant marine life and beautiful beaches that invite exploration. | ||

| Suez Canal | Wednesday, May 22, 2024 | Wednesday, May 22, 2024 |
| The Suez Canal links two oceans and two seas the Atlantic and Mediterranean via Gibraltar to Port Said, and the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea via Bab Al Mandab and the Gulf of Suez to the port of Suez. It is the longest Canal that has no locks, it can be widened and deepened at any time when necessary. The Suez Canal's strategic importance lies in the fact it is essential for world trade and greatly shortens the distance between East and West. The distance between Tokyo (Japan) and Rotterdam (Holland) is shortened by 23% if it goes round Africa. | ||

| Cephalonia (Argostoli) | Friday, May 24, 2024 | Friday, May 24, 2024 |
| Argostoli is the capital of Cephalonia. The harbour front is worth a walk. There is an excellent market for buying fresh fruit and veg, and the traffic free shopping area running parallel to the harbor front is also well worth visiting. Spend a Saturday evening in the main square over an ouzo, watching the local populace taking their volta. The whole family comes out to play. There are balloon sellers and amateur entertainers. Children race around on tricycles and on foot while their older brothers and sisters play the age old game of eyeing each other from the safety of their own peer groups. All this while the parents look on indulgently. | ||
| Corfu | Saturday, May 25, 2024 | Saturday, May 25, 2024 |
| Corfu's unique scenery, with gentle green hills and luxuriant southern flora, makes it one of the most beautiful of all Greek islands. Many beautiful buildings can be seen in Corfu Town. Corfu is a popular holiday destination for vacationers from all walks of life who come to enjoy mild climate, calm blue-green water, rugged mountains, hidden coves and miles of sandy beaches. A number of historical sights range from old fortresses and mansions to cathedrals and palaces. Corfu Town is surrounded by arcaded Venetian buildings. The Spianada is considered to be the largest square in Greece. Explore the narrow streets of Old Town. See Town Hall and the 300-year-old Church of Saint SpyrÃdon; a silver sarcophagus contains the remains of the town's patron saint. The Royal Palace - a neo-classical mansion - holds on its upper floor the Museum of Byzantine and East Asian Art. The Archaeological Museum has displays of artifacts discovered on Corfu. The Old Fortress, an impressive 14th-century Venetian structure, is now used as a popular venue for concerts. | ||

| Kotor | Sunday, May 26, 2024 | Sunday, May 26, 2024 |
| Take a step back in time and visit the old town of Kotor, one of the best-preserved medieval towns in this part of the Mediterranean. The asymmetric structure of the narrow streets and squares, combined with the awesome monuments of medieval architecture, contributed to Kotor being placed on UNESCO’s “World’s natural and cultural inheritance†list. From ancient fortification systems surrounding the city to 12th century cathedrals, Kotor is a dream come true for those who revel in history. Entrance to town from the Gurdic spring, consists of 3 separate gates, built from the 13th, 16th and 18th centuries. The Cathedral of St. Tryphon is one of the most visited and impressive churches in the city. According to some texts, the original church was erected in the 8th century and rebuilt in 1166. Two earthquakes, one in 1667 and one in 1979 seriously damaged the cathedral and it continues to be restored to this day. The city is breathtaking in every respect and only a visit will truly reveal all it has to offer. | ||
| Dubrovnik | Monday, May 27, 2024 | Monday, May 27, 2024 |
| Classed as a world heritage treasure by UNESCO, Dubrovnik is a place of ancient streets lined with stone palaces, Venetian-style buildings and bell towers. The city is enclosed by stone walls, and the highlight is a leisurely walk atop these massive walls for a great view of the city and the sea. Entering Dubrovnik, you are greeted by an impressive pedestrian promenade, the Placa, which extends before you all the way to the clock tower at the other end of town. The Orlando Tower here is a favorite meeting place. Just inside the city walls near the Pile Gate is the Franciscan Monastery housing the third-oldest functioning pharmacy in Europe, operating since 1391. For a fantastic panorama of the city, take a cable car ride to the summit of the 1,340-foot Mount Srdj. | ||
| Split | Tuesday, May 28, 2024 | Tuesday, May 28, 2024 |
| Split, the largest Croatian city on the Adriatic coast, is the heart of Dalmatia. The old town is built around the harbor on the south side of a high peninsula sheltered from the open sea by many islands. Split achieved fame when the Roman emperor Diocletian (245-313), noted for his persecution of early Christians, had his retirement palace built here from 295 to 305. Since 1945 Split has grown into a major industrial city with large apartment-block housing areas. Much of old Split remains, however, and this combined with its exuberant nature makes it one of the most fascinating cities in Europe. | ||
| Trieste | Wednesday, May 29, 2024 | Wednesday, May 29, 2024 |
| Trieste is an interesting city and a flourishing center of trade and commerce. It was a literary and cultural center in the 20th century, and the town has Viennese influence and style - along with grand squares, palazzi and churches. The main square, Piazza dell'Unita d'Italia, has Viennese cafes, Palazzo del Governo, and Palazzo del Comune with its clock tower. All of these buildings were built in the 19th century. The promenade is a worth a stroll. Upper town, Colle di San Giusto - with its terrific views - has beautiful Castello di San Giusto and its musuem at the top of the hill, Piazza Cattedrale. Basilica di San Giusto is two churches in several styles, including Roman and Byzantine, with frescoes depicting San Giusto (the town's patron saint), mosaics, and the lovely rose window. The civic museum here has art, religious items and historical items inside. Orto Lapidario displays pottery and statues. Visit Civico Museo Revoltella. Stop at Castello di Miramare and her gardens. Villa Opicina has a wonderful belvedere and views, and Grotta Gigante is an amazing walkable cave museum. | ||

Submit Your Own Review!Great accommodations, personal service, fabulous food
Pros: Great accommodations, personal service, fabulous food
Cons: None
Review: It was a fantastic first time for us sailing on the Riviera. We just felt it was the best way to travel and see the ports we did. We have already booked 2024 and 2025 cruises.
The food is amazing with specialty restaurants at no charge
Pros: The food is amazing with specialty restaurants at no charge
Cons: Cant think of anything negative.
Review: I love the ship and all the friendly staff who make the experience great. The General Manager invited us to dinner at Privee as I am a platinum member of the Oceania club. Several lovely cocktail parties were hosted by the senior staff. Due to bad weather and high winds we missed two ports as couldn’t guarantee a safe arrival and departure. Immediately they got together and planned many activities aboard. A cooking demonstration, speakers, golf in the Martinis bar, trivia, and other activities.
The remodel bathrooms feature an oversized walk-in shower with a ceiling-mounted rainforest shower head and hand-held shower wand.
Pros: The remodel bathrooms feature an oversized walk-in shower with a ceiling-mounted rainforest shower head and hand-held shower wand.
Cons: No Cons
Review: We were so lucky with the weather during this entire cruise; except for port Paamiut, Greenland which the ship can not anchor plus tender are not safe due to floating iceberg and fog so the captain decided to skip this port. There was a tender mishap when returning from port Lerwick (Shetland Islands), Scotland to ship. The tender bumped not once but twice while trying to dock; we were safe but some people got hurt including one with broken nose and twisted ankle. The food quality seems lower compared to the cruise we took on October 2019; maybe due to the pandemic or cost cutting.
small ship, excellent food, excellent service, lots of activities, new big bathrooms, more inclusive in price
Pros: small ship, excellent food, excellent service, lots of activities, new big bathrooms, more inclusive in price
Cons: sometimes a port was not stopped at, internet was irregular and slow
Review: It was an excellent cruise. We loved it so much that we booked another on this cruise. Can't wait!
Great food and variety of food and special restaurants; superb accommodations with balconies; excellent staff
Pros: Great food and variety of food and special restaurants; superb accommodations with balconies; excellent staff
Cons: Tenders used for most ports of call—okay but takes more time to get ashore; online scheduling of shore excursions filled early and we had to deal with it onboard the first day; flight scheduling could be better.
Review: This was our second Cruise (Baltic was first)with Oceania and we will go again! You can go formal or informal which we like to have the choice. Food and service were excellent no matter if you were eating in the formal dining room or the Terrace Cafe—buffet. Small ship with about 1,500 guests who were mostly adults. Very little to do for children. Ship was clean and everyone was very friendly. If you want fine dining with great accommodations and an adult atmosphere, Oceania is a great choice! They provide great entertainment at night and great land excursions as well.
A great way to travel. A floating hotel with all the comforts of home. All food, activities and entertainment in one place!!
Pros: A great way to travel. A floating hotel with all the comforts of home. All food, activities and entertainment in one place!!
Cons: Not always the amount of time you’d like in port but the pros out way the cons
Review: Loved getting back to sailing with Oceania and seeing the world.
wonderful vista suite, incredible ship staff
Pros: wonderful vista suite, incredible ship staff
Cons: crowded tours with clogged toilets at stops, food on ship was mediocre
Review: Overall, a wonderful experience for us. Sonu was incredible catering to our needs. Without him, we would not have enjoyed the trip. Ginselle (spelling?) who works in the spa was great, such a sweet person too. Best part of the ship was your crew--all wonderful people. Kotor panoramic tour-stop for snack was disappointing--we were one of the last buses and bus had trouble parking, toilets were clogged. Just too many people doing the same thing. Wish we had gone to Dubrovnik instead of Split and Monaco instead of Marseilles. Toscana and Jacques--delicious. Grand Dining Room, Polo and Terrace cafe were disappointing. Iquomenitsa port was a nightmare--took us 2 1/2 hours to get through port security. Due to my husband having Parkinson's, we did not go to any of the entertainment, but I'm told I have to give it a rating Should be not applicable
Spacious rooms, beautiful art, great food options

Pros: Great Ship, Fabulous Crew, “Michelin” level food, and great weather
Cons: Airports and air travel in general.
Review: Very smooth vacation, with all connections made. Cruise travel has improved in the past few years and embarkation and debarkation are so much more organized and efficient than in the past.
Wonderful staff, clean ship, staff usually remembers your name in a day or two. Rooms are cleaned twice daily and turn down service in the evening. Food is fantastic. Plenty of activities on board.
Pros: Wonderful staff, clean ship, staff usually remembers your name in a day or two. Rooms are cleaned twice daily and turn down service in the evening. Food is fantastic. Plenty of activities on board.
Cons: None
Review: There is a majority of older people (65 and up) on board. This didn’t bother my wife and I at all. The conversations we had were great and we learned more from the Foreign travelers . I can’t emphasize the staff was great enough. We will travel Oceana again.
Accommodations, Food, Itinerary
Pros: Accommodations, Food, Itinerary
Cons: Slow service in dining room, wine selection for price
Review: Overall a wonderful trip. Stateroom service was excellent, and people in general could not do enough. Food was outstanding with very little complaints.
Staff throughout the ship were professional and kind; always a wonderful selection of food and drink;
Pros: Staff throughout the ship were professional and kind; always a wonderful selection of food and drink;
Cons: Not really suitable for someone with a mobility impairment;
Review: Riviera is going in to drydock for an update, and just in the nick of time, since the interior of the ship is in need of freshening up. We knew that when we chose this sailing date, so that was not a surprise. Our biggest disappointment was that despite the demographics of an aging cruise population, not a single excursion was deemed handicap accessible. The limited number of accessible cabins presented us with no choice but to upgrade to an expensive level where there would be sufficient room for us. The staff was wonderful in handling my husband's limitations, kind in serving us, and always friendly. The butler was of no real use to us, and the concierge was rarely seen in her office. Overall, the ship's activities, excursions, and style seemed out of date.
Best food ever, terrific service, extremely good organization for embarking and disembarking during port calls.
Pros: Best food ever, terrific service, extremely good organization for embarking and disembarking during port calls.
Cons: No lardge production entertainment, and a very small casino with just a few tables

Pros: Great ship. Very clean and a friendly helpful staff. Food was the best I have ever had on a cruise.
Cons: Wi-Fi is very poor.
Review: The Wi-Fi was well below the level of performance I have experienced on all the other cruise lines I have traveled on. It was constantly intermittent forcing the user to log on and off. It was also offered no charge to only one user per cabin which was a shock as it has always been available to all passengers on other cruise lines I have been on....Celebrity, Royal Caribbean etc... Seemed to be not in line on what I was expecting from a top of the line cruise line.
Beautiful ship with amazing service.
Pros: Beautiful ship with amazing service.

Ideal way to enjoy the exclusive ship's amenities. The ship's size is perfect!
Pros: Ideal way to enjoy the exclusive ship's amenities. The ship's size is perfect!

Food was great, good choices, Spa massages were wonderful but pricey
Pros: Food was great, good choices, Spa massages were wonderful but pricey
Cons: Spa morning stretch classes started too late to attend most days because of shore excursions, several activities overlapped in time so had to pick one, other activities weren't of interest.
Review:
Overall feeling of good will and cooperation among the crew and service staff, lovely library, classical music as part of the entertainment options, efficient and lovely stateroom design, quiet atmosphere
Pros: Overall feeling of good will and cooperation among the crew and service staff, lovely library, classical music as part of the entertainment options, efficient and lovely stateroom design, quiet atmosphere
Cons: bit pricey but we got our money's worth, special restaurants were not all that special
Review: This was our first ten day cruise and we found the Riviera very comfortable and welcoming. The excursions arranged by Oceania were excellent, very well educated and well spoken guides. We learned so much from the excursions. The food in the Grand Dining room was just as good as any of the food in the special restaurants. We liked the option of being able to dine just as a couple most of the time. Being able to end every evening by listening to a string quartet was a special treat.
Incredible cuisine and very luxurious beds and amenities
Pros: Incredible cuisine and very luxurious beds and amenities
Cons: No on demand movies and some specialty dining hosts are "rude"
Review:
Overall cuisine, Dining venue options, Entire culinary team, Enrichment programs (culinary center, artist loft & guest lecturers)
Pros: Overall cuisine, Dining venue options, Entire culinary team, Enrichment programs (culinary center, artist loft & guest lecturers)
Cons: Spa was small
Review: If you are into Food & Wine this cruise line is for you!!
- There are 4 specialty restaurants (Steak house, Italian, French and Asian Fusion) with fantastic menus. All guests are guaranteed 1 dinner at each of these restaurants.
- The general dining areas had the same level of food quality & taste including in the Grand Dining Room, Terrace Cafe (lobster tails grilled to order every night) and Waves Pool Grill (surf & turf or the best reuben for lunch).
- For healthier options I enjoyed the smoothie and fresh juice bar as a lighter alternative for breakfast. While on-board the Oceania team was installing their new "plant-based" meal options on the lunch & dinner menus. These dishes were so tasty, you wouldn't have known they were meatless!!
- The best meals were at La Reserve. This specialty restaurant partnered with Wine Spectator & Dom Perignon & Jacque Pepin to create absolutely amazing meals! These meals all begin outside of the restaurant where guests lounge with a glass of bubbly or two along with a canape. The meals lasted 3 to 3 1/2 hours each with a maximum of 24 guests. The service and attention to detail from the culinary and dining team was very special. They made sure we always had enough wine available to sample with each bite! Would do these again on my next voyage!!
- "The Odyssey" was a wonderfully paired 7 course meal. Highlights included the biggest scallop I have ever seen seared with a teriyaki glaze, Maine lobster with a sea urchin bisque and veal wellington - all dishes worked really well with the wines presented. If you enjoy all types of wines (bubbly, sweet and dry white, along with red) you will enjoy this meal.
- The Don Perignon dinner was a 6 course meal of indulgence!! Grade 9 Waygu beef, blue lobster in a curry broth, gold leaf in a black truffle risotto and a mole sauce so complex served with scallop & foie gras... the food was amazing. Oh yes and the entire meal was paired with three different vintages of Don Perignon. While the wine & food pairings were not as strong as those in the Odyssey menu, I would not have changed anything with this experience.
- There are plenty of foodie activities not tied with meals! The Culinary Center teaches one or two 90 minute classes each day with topics ranging from pasta making to grilling to knife skills. You are paired up at cooking stations to learn hands on with the chef instructor. Bring your appetite as you get to eat what you make along the way!! There were culinary demos in the theater where we could watch the culinary team prepare some of our favorite restaurant dishes. And there is also many culinary excursions to pick from in port that included visiting local markets and cooking in a local kitchen - learning local dish recipes.
perfect size ship and amount of people, fantastic food
Pros: perfect size ship and amount of people, fantastic food
Cons: NONE
Review: This ship is a first class experience. The mid sized ship has all the features of the larger ships and less people. It is beautifully decorated. The crew was there to pamper and please and were actually happy to be doing their jobs. They live up to their tag line of the finest cuisine at sea. All the dining options were fabulous. All food at the buffet served to you. Kobe beef and lobster burgers at Waves grill were amazing. Dinner buffet was spectacular. Entertainment was very good... the resident troop of 12 were so talented. First rate shows. The fill in entertainment was also quite good. No problem with seating anywhere on the ship.
Best food on any cruise ship, and I'm a cruise snob having sailed mostly on Crystal and Regent
Pros: Best food on any cruise ship, and I'm a cruise snob having sailed mostly on Crystal and Regent
Cons: Door keys don't work well and safe is in an impossible position.
Review: Service was first class........any problem was handled immediately. Other than the fact that it is not "all inclusive", if you only have a glass of wine with dinner, don't do the "free" shore excursions, especially in the Caribbean, it is the best bang for your buck!! Only thing that does not put them in the luxury category......................as I said before, food in the 4 restaurants is superior to any on Regent or Crystal.
Everything
Pros: Everything
Cons: None
Review: Wonderful restful holiday.

Review: Would sail with them again. This was our 2nd trip. Food superb, choice of 4 great restaurants included in price. Country club casual dress. Very comfortable. Mattresses excellent.
Amazing crew treats you like family and the food was fabuloso.
Pros: Amazing crew treats you like family and the food was fabuloso.
Cons: too crowded in Terrace cafe at lunch on sea days
Review: Oceania Riviera has something for everyone. There is plenty of room to relax in the library or other public rooms, play trivia, take a dance or yoga class. Learn how to make pasta in the Culinary Center. Listen to lectures or play bridge. There are so many dining options to choose from. Red Ginger (Asian), Polo Grill(steak and Lobster), Jacques(French), Toscana (Italian) as well as the Grand dining room with daily specials. Do not forget your specialty coffee in Baristas on deck 14. There is so much to see and do and the longer itineraries allow you to enjoy it all.
The itinerary for both trips; the food, the service and the size of the ship: we also did the pre cruise land package which was spectacular.
Pros: The itinerary for both trips; the food, the service and the size of the ship: we also did the pre cruise land package which was spectacular.

Pros: Love the size. Rooms and bathrooms are beautiful. Caters to adults looking for a luxury and educational experience. Food is very good
Cons: Can’t think of any. Entertainment is limited but it was just fine for us after active port days.

Accommodations very spacious and comfortable. Food was excellent and the choices were fantastic.

Pros: Great restaurants, Great food, great spaces (pool, library, lounges, etc), great music!
Cons: No restaurant or food available late night other than room service
Review: Overall a wonderful cruise. Ports were great other than Alicante. Needed more time in Lisbon. All else was fantastic!
Beautiful ship, excellent service and fantastic food.
Pros: Beautiful ship, excellent service and fantastic food.
Cons: Though our excursions were mostly very good we had one that was not properly managed and did not follow the program as advertised. No one was willing to really assist in some type of credit or adjustment, nor seemed to have authority to do so.
Review: Riviera is a great ship and overall the crew was fantastic. We were very satisfied for our first cruise!
We really enjoyed the alternative restaurants and the fact the there was no additional charge
Pros: We really enjoyed the alternative restaurants and the fact the there was no additional charge
Cons: The Internet on board is painfully slow!
Review: Oceania is a great cruise line for those that enjoy wonderful food and wine. The cabins and large and the beds are heavenly! O life is a good option as some of the shore excursions offered seemed a little pricey. The staff was great and always made you feel at home
We enjoyed everything about the ship and ports
Pros: We enjoyed everything about the ship and ports
Cons: The only thing better would be for it to be all inclusive (beverages).
Review:
Beautiful ship, good customer service, wonderful food

Review:
Great food/restaurants, attention to detail, comfort
Pros: Great food/restaurants, attention to detail, comfort
Cons: Not sure if we're cruise people
Review: This was our first cruise. The crew could not have been friendlier or more helpful, the accommodations were clean & beautifully maintained. Excellent restaurants, delicious food, good wine lists. If I were to cruise again, I would look harder at the itinerary, & choose one that had no anchorages; the tenders were very difficult for me. And, if we do cruise again, it will probably be in low season. We are used to immersing ourselves in a destination when we travel; the cruise provides only a taste of a destination, making the experience somewhat incomplete. Most of the ship's on-board activities held no interest for us, although, if we were to cruise again, we would probably sign up for cooking classes.
Beautiful ship with a lot of amenities. Gorgeous and spacious suite. Great food
Pros: Beautiful ship with a lot of amenities. Gorgeous and spacious suite. Great food
Cons: Butler service was not a helpful as I had hoped 2 out of 4 requests were met
Review: Wine selection was ok, but reasonably priced. Food was great. A lot of great food and wine related activities on ship. I wish I had more time to do those. Regular group tours were large (approx 40 people) which made it hard to hear the guide and get pictures (a little stressful for me). Small tours were great! Food and Wine program activities and excursion were great! The were informative, interesting and fun! Just as I had hoped. I didn't experience ship entertainment
Great itinerary, excellent crew, nice stateroom, excellent cuisine
Pros: Great itinerary, excellent crew, nice stateroom, excellent cuisine
Cons: Would have enjoyed more time in various ports, but realize thats the tradeoff to seeing more ports.
Review: Overall wonderful experience. Exceeded expectations. Have only done river cruises in the past. A bit wary of larger ship. But shouldnt have been concerned. This size ship still offers personal service and attention to detail that we had learned to appreciate on the smaller river ships.
Pros: No Pros
Cons: No Cons
Review: One of the most amazing experiences we have ever had. We were treated like royalty - the staff was amazing. The ship was gorgeous. The food was amazing!!
Excellent service from cabin attendants and all restaurant workers.

Review:
Loved the cooking classes!and the chef. The food was super except the main dining room needs help from the culinary chef in making lobster Pad Tigh. The efficiency was amazing.
Pros: Loved the cooking classes!and the chef. The food was super except the main dining room needs help from the culinary chef in making lobster Pad Tigh. The efficiency was amazing.
Cons: My cabin needed a good rug shampoo! We found the art was not too appealing but more variety might help.
Review: Overall a splendid trip.The ports were varied and Tangier was a disappointment. Perhaps Fez might have been better? Seville and Maderia and Lanzarote were my favourites.Next time I would choose my own flight details as My trip was lengthier than needed. Others had difficulty from Vancouver Island as well.
food, entertainment, accommodations, stabilizationers,
Pros: food, entertainment, accommodations, stabilizationers,

Pros: Food, drinks, service, stateroom, ports, internet, shows
Cons: Perhaps more shops...no booze store, people saving pool deck lounge chairs.
Review: We had a wonderful time with our friends and were lucky to have good weather and calm seas. The only disappointment was having to by-pass Santa Marta, Colombia due to high winds. We appreciated the paid gratuities and cruise credits. All of the specialty restaurants were outstanding.

Pros: The outstanding service! Friendly staff, excellent food, cleanliness, entertainment!
Cons: None
Review: I love, love, love this cruise line! I felt like a queen and whenever I needed something or had a question, it was delivered with promptness and with a smile. We will probably not use any other cruise line as Oceania spoiled us!
What can I say, our cruise was outstanding! All the staff were so welcoming and made our voyage over the top! The service and food were over the top! We loved it so much, we booked another cruise before leaving the ship!

Cons: The only con would be a slow wi-fi. We couldn't always contact family and friends .
Review: We enjoyed it so much and will miss everything!
Ship quickly became a home-away-from-home with staff very attentive. Riveria was in excellent condition, stateroom was comfortable and homey, entertainers were able to connect with passengers, and ports were exciting with excellent land excursions.
Pros: Ship quickly became a home-away-from-home with staff very attentive. Riveria was in excellent condition, stateroom was comfortable and homey, entertainers were able to connect with passengers, and ports were exciting with excellent land excursions.
Cons: Despite being known for their food, the main dining options were not up to reputation. The specialty restaurants were top notch, but other dining venues were not as good. Most important negative is the terrible internet connection on the ship - it was extremely slow and difficult to use. A real negative.
Review: Loved the informal nature of the ship, ability to meet people and have dinner with them as opposed to being assigned tables, and the overall customer service on the ship.
GREAT FOOD, GOOD SERVICE
Pros: GREAT FOOD, GOOD SERVICE
Cons: WITH GROUP WOULDN'T LET US OPEN DOORS ON BALCONY OF ROOMS

Pros: Everything
Cons: Internet is horrible. Limited access
Review: The only bad thing was the internet access. It hardly ever worked and when it did it was not consistent and very slow. The entertainment could be better but it was ok.
Beautiful ship, great staff & food.
Pros: Beautiful ship, great staff & food.
Cons: 4 at-sea days is too much, weather wasn't the greatest (not Oceania's fault)
Review: Dr Ford, the lecturer was terrific, the last minute change in port due to a medical emergency was unfortunate, but (again) not Oceania's fault, everything else was up to the lines high standard.
Cleanliness, Super staff, great dining
Pros: Cleanliness, Super staff, great dining
Cons: slow embarkation & Debarkation, high wine prices
Review:
Staff extremely friendly and accommodating. Food in all restaurants is very good, but the 4 signature restaurants exceeded our already high expectations. Entertainment was wonderful, and we enjoyed the various spots (string quartet, Oceania Ensemble more than ever before.
Pros: Staff extremely friendly and accommodating. Food in all restaurants is very good, but the 4 signature restaurants exceeded our already high expectations. Entertainment was wonderful, and we enjoyed the various spots (string quartet, Oceania Ensemble more than ever before.
Cons: Service was very slow in the Grand Dining Room. It was difficult to make plans for after dinner because they seemed to drag on forever. Often we ignored the dessert menu because we'd already been there 2 hours.
Review: The Ship's officers and crew were extremely professional and courteous. The cruise director and assistant were very pleasant and helpful, as was John Ekin, the social director. Having been on so many previous Caribbean cruises, we didn't take any shore excursions, but our traveling companions did and had some uncomfortable experiences. We weren't very impressed with Grenada. However, to be fair, St. Barts is the only island of all W.I. ports which is attractive to us. Just can't beat the Caribbean weather. Last year both my wife and I signed up for the VIP liquor packages, but this year only she did. I think the package is too expensive, and I'm glad I didn't take it this year.
Diverse activites for all passengers. Amazing staff. Beautiful ship.
Pros: Diverse activites for all passengers. Amazing staff. Beautiful ship.
Cons: Shows begin at 930pm which is late for those passengers dining early
Review:
Food outstanding as usual; staff most willing in most cases; however, experienced a few not so
Pros: Food outstanding as usual; staff most willing in most cases; however, experienced a few not so
Cons: Luggage took five hours to get to stateroom. Not very helpful trying to get staff to help. Encountered difficulty getting on internet and a staff member at Reception desk was almost rude to us and we are fairly wifi savvy.
Review: If comparing Riviera to prior cruise a few years ago on Nautica, would have to say that Nautica overall was much better. Overall experience was good but would have to consider which ship to take if on another Oceania voyage
Great Service and Amenities!
Pros: Great Service and Amenities!
Cons: So-So ports, pulling into a port on Sunday with everything closed.
Review: Great ship, service and food!
Entertainment on this cruise was much better than we experienced in the past. Beautiful ship and great service and food.
Pros: Entertainment on this cruise was much better than we experienced in the past. Beautiful ship and great service and food.
Cons: see below
Review: Our only complaint was they really do not want to seat guests alone in main dining room. They insist you share a table and make a fuss if you also insist on sitting alone. Sometimes there are reasons why we want to be alone at dinner and they embarrass the guests while checking in for dinner. This happened often with us and many other guests. Otherwise the service and food in the main dining room was excellent.
The staff is all one could wish for.
Pros: The staff is all one could wish for.
Cons: None
Review: Toscana and Red Ginger continue to be the best specialty restaurants on the ship but the Grand Dining room is also a favorite. Also it is nice having Happy Hour in several venues.
Having taken several cruises with Oceania I have come to expect great food, clean ships, accommodating staff and just a wonderful overall experience.
Pros: Having taken several cruises with Oceania I have come to expect great food, clean ships, accommodating staff and just a wonderful overall experience.
Cons: Internet is not to the standards I would expect.
Review: I brought twelve people from my company on this cruise. All of them were first time cruisers and were blown away by the Oceania experience. I have already booked a cruise for Fall of 2017.
Wonderful cuisine, great room/ location on ship, very nice pool area, lots of entertainment options. Musical groups on 15th deck lounge/pool area were great for dancing.
Pros: Wonderful cuisine, great room/ location on ship, very nice pool area, lots of entertainment options. Musical groups on 15th deck lounge/pool area were great for dancing.
Cons: Organized entertainment in theater was so-so. Some tours were good, some not.
Review:
wonderful staff, wonderful service
Pros: wonderful staff, wonderful service
Cons: the walk from ship to buses for tours was especially long for me. I would have liked to have a shuttle bus provided.
Review: This is my first experience with Oceania... overall I would highly recommend your company for the wonderful staff and service. However because of my experience with the long distance walks and lack of accommodation for seniors...I am not sure of repeat business.
Food is spectacular
Pros: Food is spectacular
Cons: Nightlife needs work
Review: Alicante was a beach day for us. We chose an excursion 1 1/2 hrs away and we could have stayed near port (Walked there)at a public beach. Almeria was a pleasant stop. Gibraltar was great. Definitely worth seeing the top of the Rock and St Michaels cave and Siege tunnels. Casablanca is an armpit!! Don't know why we stopped there. Lots of things closed due to Ramadan. Very dirty city. So dirty when we returned to the ship they had mats drenched with sanitizer to clean our shoes as we walked to board and hand sanitizer st hat they insisted we use before boarding. Glad they were being safe, but why even stop there then. Loved Seville. We did a day on our own there. Very easy city to get around. Great day. Would go there again. Lisbon was a fun city too. People were friendly lots to see and do there. We enjoyed the social life due to the euafa 2016 cup Portugal vs France. It was a massive celebration and fun to be a part of. I recommend this ship if you're a foodie and have done your research on ports. If your looking for night life this is not the cruiseline for you. Also there are speciality restaurants on board. Book them early before you go. They book up fast and are worth it. There is a cooking school that I have attended classes. Very fun. Also the La Reserve wine pairing dinners are fantastic and very fun.
The food was great, the staff was very warm and friendly, the room was great.
Pros: The food was great, the staff was very warm and friendly, the room was great.
Cons: I really can not think of anything bad to say.
Review: We had the most amazing time and met the greatest people from all parts of the world. The food was excellent and the dining experiences was the best. The excursions were the best you that we have ever experienced.
Stabilization of vessel and ports of call.
Pros: Stabilization of vessel and ports of call.
Cons: Service
Review: Poor staff service across the board; excessive anchoring and tendering ; disorganized; language difficulty; rather stingy with products eg one tote bag per room; destructive laundry service; etc.
Staff was outstanding, accomodations were better than expected and food was generally above average.
Pros: Staff was outstanding, accomodations were better than expected and food was generally above average.
Cons: Two cruise line sponsored shore tours were below average and Polo restaurant was poor.
Review: This was my first cruise. In general, my expectations were exceeded and I would recommend Oceania Cruises to others.
Beautiful ship. So many places to relax. The ship never feels crowded.
Pros: Beautiful ship. So many places to relax. The ship never feels crowded.
Cons: The shore excursions are extremely overpriced and disappointing.
Review: Wonderful, professional quality entertainment. The productions were the best we ever saw on a cruise. Superb staff. Each one was 5 star. Great food. The veranda stateroom had excellent closet space but tiny, useless drawers. Don't overpack! Otherwise I love this ship. The Marina too. The port of Zadar in Croatia should be replaced by Dubrovnik. More tours with only one to two hours of walking would be appreciated. Three stars for value because when cost of excursions, wine, Internet, spa, culinary class, and gratituities are added, the total is the same as Crystal and Regent. That being said, The Riveria or Marina are first in my heart.
Extraordinary food.....quality and quantity
Pros: Extraordinary food.....quality and quantity

Cons: None
Review: Trips on shore need improvement. Lots of time doing nothing.
Culinary excursions with Chef Kelly were amazing experiences! Our Penthouse suite butler was so attentive that the cruise wouldn't have been the same without him.
Pros: Culinary excursions with Chef Kelly were amazing experiences! Our Penthouse suite butler was so attentive that the cruise wouldn't have been the same without him.
Cons: Argostoli, Cephalonia is a lousy port. They need to find a better stop than that.
Review: Toscana dining room has good food, lousy service. It is severely understaffed. We had an 8 PM reservation and didn't get bread and water till 8:50 PM. After we ordered wine,took wine steward 25 minutes to come back and tell us he was out of that vintage (with 5 days to go on the cruise!). Got wine at 9:15 PM. Sent my Osso Buco back cause it was too dry (after warning them when I ordered it). Disembarkation was amazingly orderly and prompt. We were at the Venice airport 35 minutes after leaving the ship! Worst port of call was Argostoli (Greek Island) boring--they need to replace it. Butler service for our Penthouse suite was extraordinary! Cruise more enjoyable and informative because of butler. Entertainment on ship was mediocre, bordering on amateurish. Chef Kelly and culinary staff are amazing! Recommend their excursions in Taromina, Sicily and Koper, Slovenia.
Pros: No Pros

Excellent ship, staff, etc. In general lives up to Oceania standard we've experienced before.
Pros: Excellent ship, staff, etc. In general lives up to Oceania standard we've experienced before.
Cons: Some food superb, but here and there it's not. Also, 9:45pm showtime was too late for us.
Review: We wrote in Oceania's evaluation form, that we'd had a disappointing meal in the Polo Grill--steak, fish, and salad very below par. But had a splendid meal in Red Ginger. Did not get to eat in the other 2 restaurants because of time problem one night and illness another.
