Designed with all the contemporary grandeur and bold style of an upmarket hotel, the Vista still manages to create the relaxed and personal atmosphere common to the Oceania fleet. With a showstopping atrium, champagne and caviar hues, plush furnishings, plenty of marble, exquisite attention to detail and wonderful service, the ship provides a luxe experience. Despite carrying 1,200 guests and 800 staff, the Vista never feels crowded owing to the clever design of the public spaces and the generously sized cabins. The ship also features new dining experiences, along with Oceania favourites, including Red Ginger, Toscana, Waves Grill, and the Terrace Café. Newcomers include Ember, offering elevated American cuisine, such as blackened crab cake with corn salsa and the Aquamar Kitchen, specialising in indulgent healthy cuisine. There is a choice of bars including the Founder’s Bar which offers mixology experiences, including cocktails topped by flavoured smoke bubbles.

Guests can also choose from a wide range of entertainment, enrichment, and wellness activities. These include cookery classes at the Culinary Centre, art classes at the Artist Loft, relaxing in the fabulous Library adjacent to Baristas coffee bar and new food venue, The Bakery. Regarding enrichment and wellness, guests can enjoy treatments at the Aquamar Spa & Vitality Centre, relaxing on the pool deck, interesting talks from celebrated Guest Speakers, dedicated courts for deck sports and games, as well as a running track and fitness centre. For nightly entertainment, the Vista has teamed up with Britt Stewart from Dancing with the Stars, to lead Broadway calibre shows and there’s also a casino for those wishing to try their luck.

All staterooms and suites include a private balcony, signature Tranquillity Bed with premium linens, comfortable seating area, and large ensuite with Bulgari bath products.
