Holidays should be relaxing, sure, but they should also be enlightening. A lovely shore excursion and dinner on board are wonderful experiences, but in between, you might want to educate yourself on the upcoming port of call or curl up with a good book. Attaining enlightenment, despite what you may have heard, is indeed possible,
as is everything on an Oceania Cruises voyage. Whatever you fancy, you can do it aboard on of their ships.
The Culinary Center
Food is the heartbeat of our ships. And on Marina, Riviera, Vista and Allura, aside from their restaurants, The Culinary Center is the epicurean hub. It’s the space designed for you to create culinary masterpieces, learn the difference between slicing, dicing and a julienne, and simply gather together in joyful appreciation of the world’s great culinary diversity. Like the kitchen in your home, where the family congregates, it may be where you choose to congregate onboard, your home at sea. Oceania Cruises’ passionate culinary staff will share their tricks of the trade and favourite regional recipes, and yes, you can be certain you’ll eat well along the way too.
Art
Not everyone is an artist, but you are. Artist Loft helps you find your newest hobby, whether that’s painting, sketching, photography or sculpture, taught by some of
the best working professionals in the field. Whether you’re a paint-by-numbers sort of person or have your MFA in visual art from Goldsmiths, you’ll find a way to bring out
your best work — and your best self — all while having fun with your newfound artist friends. It’s one of the best ways to sit back and relax on an Oceania Cruises voyage. And the best part is that you can take your masterpiece back home with you as a memento.
Outdoor Pursuits
Head to the Sports Deck to challenge friends to an entertaining game of shuffleboard or practise your putting technique and play up to 18 holes on the putting green. You might just be inclined to take a stroll around the fitness track and soak up the stunning sea views. On several of Oceania Cruises ships, you can also enjoy paddle tennis, bocce and pickleball as well.
Live Music
Music on Oceania Cruises comes in many forms: dinnertime piano tunes, string ensembles and talented vocalists with their accompanying bands. Or it might bring you to the theatre for a cabaret-style show or to a lounge where you can dance the night
away to a live band or DJ. Wherever the day takes you, it’s sure to be one of the most enjoyable aspects of your voyage.
Comedy
Laughing is good for the soul, right? If so, then checking out the comedic talent on board select voyages might just be what the doctor ordered. One of the many entertaining options on an Oceania Cruises voyage, a sit-down laugh-in may, quite possibly, be one of your most memorable experiences yet.
