Oceana commenced sailing with P&O Cruises in November 2002. At the time she was the largest vessel in the fleet, and the first to accommodate over 2000 passengers. In her maiden season, Oceana introduced some new ports of call to P&O Cruises itineraries. These included Cristobal in Panama, Costa Maya in Mexico and Princess Cays, the private island of P&O Cruises sister company, Princess Cruises.

Offering a relaxed and child-friendly cruise experience, Oceana offers a particularly flexible and spontaneous experience, with three dining options to choose from. Step on board and her atrium provides a glamorous first impression. Gleaming marble steps invite you to explore further. Glass fronted lifts glide up and down. And palm trees invoke the holiday spirit!

A sociable journey

Welcome to family-friendly Oceana. Fun and relaxed, this superliner has a ‘wow factor’ all her own. Endless diversions and an informal atmosphere beckon on board. You can play a game of five-a-side or tennis in her sports court, ingeniously housed within her funnel. Peruse the shops in Regent Street. Luxuriate in a jacuzzi. Surf the net or email home in Explorers. And tone your body while you soothe your mind in the ocean-view gymnasium.

If you prefer to keep evening arrangements flexible, opt for Oceana’s Freedom Dining. Allowing you to dine in the inviting Ligurian Restaurant when and with whom you choose, it is perfect for Oceana’s sociable crowd. If you prefer really getting to know your table companions, opt for Club Dining. And of course Oceana’s Select Dining venues offer variety and a change of scene. Dine beneath the stars at her Horizon Grill or opt for bistro style fare in The Plaza. Round your day off with a drink in one of her many bars, let your hair down in Le Club, or enjoy a romantic stroll on deck. A superliner suited to many tastes, she is the perfect choice for families and newcomers.

Simply to dine for!

Holiday on Oceana and your dining experiences on board will infuse your time away with a rich variety of cuisines and flavours. No matter what time of day, choices abound. Each morning you can take your pick from a large breakfast selection in The Plaza, which offers fresh fruit, cereals, toast and conserves, not to mention a hearty full English.

While Café Jardin offers a relaxed atmosphere and a range of light options.

Lunchtimes can be spent at The Horizon Grill, where you’ll find hot snacks such as burgers, chips, wraps and samosas. If you don’t wish to stray too far from the pool, this is a great choice. Café Jardin is ideally located at the heart of the ship. Enjoy a snack at this 24 hour venue and you can look out upon the gleaming glass lifts, shops and atrium as you eat. And if you’re not sure what takes your fancy, go along to the buffet court where you’ll find an array of options.
