From Le Havre, Oceania Marina, an Oceania Cruises ship, whisks you away on a 7-night journey through the waters of Northern Europe and Baltic Sea. Your journey takes in 3 ports of call, including Rotterdam, Hamburg, and Zeebrugge. Whether you're relaxing on deck on a sea day or exploring ashore, this Oceania Cruises journey offers something for everyone. With fares from £1,520 per person, this is a wonderful way to experience Northern Europe and Baltic Sea by sea.
Often overlooked in favour of Amsterdam, Rotterdam is long overdue its flowers. Many now consider it the Netherlands' hippest city. Bombed heavily during World War II, it has spent the decades since reinventing itself as one of Europe's most compelling centres of modern architecture. Highlights include the playful Cube Houses by visionary architect Piet Blom and the 'Horn of Plenty', a swirling digital artwork across the ceiling of the Markthal. Take in sweeping views of the city from Euromast Tower before exploring the city's maritime roots at the excellent Maritime Museums.

Embarkation was the easiest and fastest we have ever experienced. The ship is beautiful. It is light and spacious and full of gorgeous artefacts. Our concierge balcony cabin was spacious and very comfortable, although it would have been improved by better drawer space. The bathroom was probably the most elegant we have had. The balcony itself was very spacious but lacked high backed furniture or footstools. There were two bucket type chairs and a small table -such a waste of such a lovely space.
All crew members that we came in contact with were delightful, from room stewards to restaurant staff and the boys who saw us safely on and off the tenders. The young Cruise Director was brilliant and the entertainment extremely good.
The food in all the restaurants was excellent. We normally avoid the Buffet on cruises because we hate the fight for tables and the scrummage around the service stations. This wasn't a problem at all on Vista and we ended up enjoying every breakfast and an occasional lunch there.
We always book the Owners suite so the level of accommodation is superb and once again didnt disappoint . The excursion in Bordeaux was overpriced and a big let down but overall another enjoyable cruise with Oceania.
Food, service and accommodation were excellent. Some of the ports visited were very interesting but a few were limited in things to do, particularly on a Sunday or public holiday and we were unlucky to hit smaller ports on those days.
A great cruise on a beautiful ship.
Unfortunately the one place we wanted to visit, Amalfi, was not visited as it was too rough to tender, but we got a lovely day in Pompaei instead.
Some of the best food in all of the restaurants we have had on thirty plus cruises.
The refurbished cabin was a delight, a glass door for the shower rather than a shower curtain a great improvement.
Plenty of space on board inspite of it being a full complement of passengers.
This really was an appalling picture of greed and inefficiency.
The ship was lovely, most of the staff were great. Management ( were there any?) we're disinterested. Boarding the ship in Taiwan was a long-winded affair. With a lack of English speaking staff this compounded the meds. Japanese customs were even worse, not helped by the lack of interest by the ship's crew.
The excursions were expensive, none were available for disabled passengers. The ones we booked before we left England, were changed or cancelled
I wrote and complained over 2 months ago and have still not had the courtesy of a response.
