Cruise Itinerary

Day 1

At sea

Day 3

Ketchikan, Alaska

The area's history is steeped in the traditions of Alaska's indigenous Tlingit people and the thriving fishing and logging industries that shaped its development. Originally known as "Kitschk-hin," meaning "thundering wings of an eagle" in the Tlingit language, Ketchikan was a vital Tlingit settlement long before European settlers arrived. With the discovery of gold in nearby creeks, Ketchikan boomed during the late 19th century Gold Rush, attracting prospectors and entrepreneurs. Timber soon became the primary industry, and Ketchikan earned the title of the "Salmon Capital of the World" due to its bustling fish canneries. Today, Ketchikan's rich history is preserved in its historic buildings, totem poles, and vibrant cultural traditions.

Day 4

Icy Strait Point

Day 5

Sitka, Alaska

Sitka is a hidden gem among cruise destinations, offering a unique blend of Tlingit culture, Russian history, and breathtaking natural beauty. This picturesque town, located on Baranof Island along the Pacific Ocean, captivates visitors with its blend of cultures visible in the onion domes of St. Michael's Cathedral and the traditional Tlingit totem poles scattered throughout the area. Sitka's natural surroundings are equally impressive, featuring volcanic Mount Edgecumbe and abundant wildlife that includes sea otters, bears, and eagles. With fewer tourists compared to other Alaskan ports, Sitka provides a more serene and intimate experience, making it a truly undiscovered treasure for cruise travelers.

Superb

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.
