Luxury cruising in the tropics

-

Dreaming about a luxury escape to tropical islands? The colourful Caribbean and the paradise of the South Pacific promise exotic adventures ashore and carefree days at sea.

Aboard Oceania Cruises, your days will easily settle into island time as you enjoy the luxurious ambiance and the finest cuisine at sea.

The cruise line’s culinary offerings are always infused with local ingredient­s wherever you are sailing, so you’ll enjoy dishes such as cracked conch and sweet plantains as you sail the aquamarine Caribbean and South Pacific-style ceviche known as poisson cru as you chart French Polynesia.

Whether you are a foodie, an adventure seeker or a nature lover, Oceania Cruises offers an array of tropical getaways perfect for every traveller.

Caribbean

An intimate, luxurious ship is the perfect match for boutique ports, and ships of Oceania Cruises deliver.

In chic Gustavia, soak up the French influence in the cafes and bistros lining the harbour or go on a thrilling rainforest trek in Santo Tomas.

Join one of Oceania Cruises’ popular Culinary Discovery Tours while in Cozumel or St. Lucia for a chef’s look at island markets and to learn the secrets of local cuisine.

The perfect poolside lounge chair and refreshing tropical drink are always waiting for you back on board.

South Pacific

Marina, the most luxurious and amenity-laden ship sailing Tahitian waters, offers the largest, most spacious accommodat­ions in the region as well as the most veranda staterooms.

Since it’s the only ship in the South Pacific with immersive chef-designed Culinary Discovery Tours and hands-on cooking classes that offer an insider’s look at French Polynesian cuisine, these voyages are perfectly suited to those wanting to delve into the region’s culinary traditions.

Outdoor lovers and culture buffs will enjoy hiking along the Three Coconuts Trail in Moorea; exploring Nuku Hiva’s Taipivai Valley, home to one of the richest archeologi­cal sites in the Marquesa Islands; and cruising along Bora Bora’s gorgeous lagoon before enjoying a traditiona­l Polynesian luncheon are just a few of the top excursions offered here.

Enjoy an extra 10 per cent savings as a Canadian resident, plus take advantage of the added value of Oceania Cruises’ OLife Choice amenity package.
