Today’s issue of CW is coming to you en route to Alaska aboard Oceania Cruises’ delightful Oceania Regatta.

OCEANIA Regatta is the flagship of the Oceania fleet, with capacity for 684 passengers who are currently journeying from Vancouver, Canada north to Alaska.

The “Panoramic Passages” itinerary is a seven-night voyage which takes in Ketchikan, Sitka and British Columbia’s Prince Rupert Island while also allowing viewing of Alaska’s stunning vistas during three days at sea.

There are 400 staff members from over 50 nations on board, who are pampering the passengers in the array of on-board restaurants and bars which include the Grand Dining Room, Terrace Cafe, Waves Grill and the specialty Polo Grill and Toscana eateries.

Oceania has a strong focus on its culinary offerings and the quality of the food and beverage has been outstanding, while the Australians on board are making the most of the coffees which are prepared by trained baristas.

Regatta has a large gymnasium and plenty of opportunities for pampering too in the on-board Canyon Ranch spa which offers a full array of treatments, massages and manicures.

Those wanting to make the most of the destination experience are also able to take on some expert education from the on-board lecturer, Steven Okulewicz, who is running a number of presentations covering the changing arctic landscape as well as Alaskan marine life spotting - so our eyes are peeled!
