are the ultimate foodie ships, featuring the first ever hands-on
cooking school at sea and a variety of incredible Culinary

culinary experiences. Oceania Cruises' ships feature more galley
space and more fresh food storage than any other cruise line,
making the specialty restaurants a mouthwatering experience.
The line's smaller ships, Nautica™, Regatta®,
Sirena™, and Insignia®, carrying only 670 guests, can

yacht-like experience, possibly the most refined way to explore the
world.
