Eastern Mediterranean Cruise with Allura

Oceania Cruises is characterized by first-class and modern luxury. The atmosphere and entertainment on board is typically American, but relaxation and recreation is absolutely in the focus. The luxury fleet offers small ships for about 684 passengers and three ships for about twice as many passengers. Due to the small size of the ships idyllic small ports and nice little coastal towns can be called, which makes the routes of Oceania Cruises particularly appealing. All ships convince with a personal atmosphere and excellent service. The language on board is English.

Penthouse, Oceania and Vista Suites cater to the most discerning tastes. In addition, the Allura has three Owner's Suites, each of which extends across the entire width of the ship. Floor-to-ceiling windows in each room provide an open atmosphere and panoramic views. Carefully coordinated design elements such as traditional woodwork on the walls, characteristic furniture and decoration create an elegant feel-good ambience.

If you want to enjoy a fantastic view, you should sit down in the Horizons. Panoramic windows will allow a 180 degree view to the ocean. Here you can enjoy afternoon tea or just chat about your travel experiences. 800 trained service employees take care of only 1,200 guests - there is clearly nothing to be desired. With the luxurious ships of the cruise company, you can explore the most fascinating travel destinations around the world in an undisturbed atmosphere. The outstanding cuisine, as Oceania Cruises itself says, the “finest cuisine at sea”, also contributes to the exclusive ambience on board. Nevertheless, the atmosphere remains warm, sociable and open, the service remains unobtrusive.

Culinary delights are the cruise line's greatest trademark. A special highlight: in The Culinary Center on board the Allura, participants can immerse themselves in the flavours of the destinations visited under the guidance of first-class chefs. The cookery school is also extended to include a dining area - the Culinary Center Dining Room - which is used, among other things, for the subsequent tasting of the delicacies created by the participants.

The following restaurants are already included in the price:

• In the Grand Dining Room guests enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner in a magnificent room. The variety of continental dishes on the menu is now joined by other options, such as a selection of Chef Jacques Pépin's signature classics.

  Toscana takes the cuisine of this region of Italy to a new level.

The Aquamar Spa & Vitality Center on board is dedicated to your personal well-being. Here you can book treatments such as massages (for a fee) or work out in the workout area. In the fitness area you can take part in free sports courses or work out on the sports deck. From running to golf to shuffleboard, you have many options here. Then you can relax on the sundeck by the pool and let your mind wander. Those who want more entertainment will find what they are looking for at the numerous evening events with great shows or in the casino. During the day you can let your creative streak run free in the artist's studio, attend a cooking class, listen to a guest speech or relax in the library with a good book.

Oceania Cruises offers a variety of shore excursions, offering a glimpse into the culture, history and cuisine of the fascinating ports of call you will visit. Discounted excursion packages such as "Unlimited Passport" (unlimited shore excursions), "Your World" (certain excursions entirely according to your taste), "Oceania Select" (national history and culture) and "Oceania Exclusive" (maximum number of participants of only 16 guests) are possible to book.
