Creator's Key Takeaways

Oceania operates small to mid-sized ships and time recording they have six ships in their fleet and they have two more on order

Oceania operates a premium luxury cruise line so it's not an ultra luxury line

the food in fact they believe so strong in their food that they've trademarked a slogan the finest cuisine at sea

all dining options are included within the fair so it's really great

โœ“Choose Oceania for small, intimate ships with a relaxed luxury experience.
โœ“Take advantage of the included dining options and consider the O Life amenities for added value.
โœ“Be aware that gratuities and excursions are not included in the fare.
โœ“Note the country casual dress code for evenings in the main dining room.

Dress code expectations โ€” The dress code is relaxed; country casual means slacks and collared shirts, but variations are common.
Cost of gratuities and excursions โ€” Gratuities are not included; budget for about $16 per person per day. Excursions are extra unless chosen in the O Life package.
Solo traveler costs โ€” Solo travelers pay a near-full couples fare; look for deals and note the lack of solo cabins.
