New Zealand Cruise with Vista

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 to medium-sized ships. 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 also meet the highest demands. In addition, the Vista has three Owner’s Suites, each of which extends over the entire width of the ship. With a size of 223 sqm and the exclusive Ralph Lauren home design, they reflect the timeless American elegance, which makes this new generation of owner’s suites into proverbial “sea residences”. Floor-to-ceiling windows in every room create an open atmosphere and panoramic views. Carefully coordinated design elements such as traditional woodwork on the walls, characteristic furniture and decoration ensure an elegant feel-good atmosphere.

If you want to enjoy a fantastic view, you should sit down in the Horizons Lounge. 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 also contributes to the exclusive ambience on board. Nevertheless, the atmosphere remains warm, sociable and open, the service remains unobtrusive.
