"Not so great for the food, ability to set up excursions or restaurant reservations, and not much to do if you get stuck with a sea day.Overall: Great cruise for the itinerary, ship, cabin, crew and if you prefer less passengers or much older passengers...."Read More

1-10 of 25 Baltic Sea Riviera Baltic Sea Cruise Reviews
Cruised on Oceania a few yeas ago and decided to book with them again. This was a mistake. We had a penthouse suite, it was okey. The mattress was well past its prime. It's a beautiful ship and the service was first rate.
The line advertises the best cuisine at sea. I was not impressed. There are four speciality restaurants: the only one that was outstanding was the Italian restaurant. The ...
Our Cruise was disappointing at best. Let me first say that certain staff were excellent, our cabin staff, Tony, the bartender in Martinis, Barbara in Barista's, all great. . Others seemed undertrained. A server for breakfast service should know what a mimosa is. Tables should be cleared regularly, not when diners are standing around searching for a table. We usually just picked a dirty ...
We loved being back on a small ship without crowds and queues.
The only significant negative are the ship organised excursions. Most of these were sold out months before the departure date. I also discovered, by accident, how much the company add to the actual cost of at least some of the trips. It's scandalous.
We tried the Panoramic Donegal' coach trip adverted struggling to find a way ...
We were looking forward to getting back into cruising for a long time and the prospect of cruising on the Oceania we had come to love was very exciting.
We booked a 28 day B2B cruise of the Norway and UK starting 5th August 2023 from Oslo.
First impressions.
The ship looked great. We had only sailed on the Marina previously.
Boarding - was efficient and we were herded onboard quickly ...
We stayed in an Oceania Suite where we enjoyed the personal staff who cared for us and our suite. They were absolutely wonderful. In fact the entire crew was wonderful. They were always smiling, pleasant, professional and very eager to help. We did not receive our luggage from Lufthansa until the seventh day of the cruise. We greatly appreciated the efforts of Concierge staff for tracking this ...
We decided to go on a Norwegian fjords cruise but my husband really wanted to see Greenland so we opted for a back to back from Iceland to Greenland to Norway for 33 days. We had just been on the Vista so our expectations were really high ! Well the ship is not as flamboyant as the Vista but it has been very well refurbished ! We were please with our veranda cabin. The staff was more ...
Greenland is one of the items on my bucket list, and this was our 2nd visit, and 2nd time to miss it. The first time - we went in May, with a transatlantic cruise from London to New York. This cruise had 2 stops in Greenland, but because of fog and Ice, we could not go in. We had lunch with the Ice Captain, and were told to never try to go to Greenland before July. So, this time, we did book a ...
I was invited to post this review here after posting it on the Boards. Happy to do so. My rating of 4 stars is only because I didn't feel 3 stars was sufficient. If I could rate it more appropriately, it would get 3.5 stars. This review ONLY focuses on the Owners Suite, and issues I found with it. After the initial critical review, I'm going to add another post I made when somebody asked me ...
We choose to try Oceania after having done a number of Azamara cruises because we’d heard Oceania/Rivera was a little more upmarket, great food, better cruise experience despite Oceania being more expensive than the comparable Azamara for a midship upgraded cabin. It started well, boarding experience good, cabin shower/bathroom space a plus. Then to the cafe area - always overcrowded & made worse ...
We chose this cruise as we always do based on the excursions but in this case, my husband contracted COVID on the ship so this review will address the first few days of our trip pre-sickness, their COVID protocol and what benefits we were able to receive from this very expensive (around 30 grand) trip. We went with the penthouse suite which is very pretty but is technically just an over-sized ...
