- Dominique Nicolle, hotel general manager for Oceania Marina, talks with Alan Fine of Insider Travel Report about his ship, the suite classes, public spaces, bars, restaurants, excursions and more, Nicolle shows how upscale luxury can approach true luxury, which allows travel advisors to sell an elevated product without Oceania competing directly with true luxury lines.

We sailed on the Marina last year and loved it! The restaurants are spectacular, especially Red Ginger, we loved the piano bar, and the crew members were so friendly. Dominique is right that the ship has so many little places where you can sit and feel it's your space. This is a beautiful, elegant and comfortable ship. Having breakfast at Waves while watching the ship cruise into beautiful ports is so memorable. We loved the espresso bar with it's little pastries. Dominique is a good manager, too. We had a little issue and he handled it very quickly and reasonably. It would be nice to show some of the more basic cabins, not everyone can book a suite, but this is a very nice video. You can book directly through Oceania. We used a low-service alumni group travel agency and had to call Oceania for all our information anyway, so if you don't have a good agent, watch all the videos on Oceania then book directly.
Love seeing Oceania blogs!
What’s with the blank space halfway through the video?
Please tell me you’re doing something about the “ chair hogs”! These people ruined our recent November Vista cruise. They would actually reserve several seating arrangements so far as to reserve seats on port days so they would have a place by the pool when they got back from their excursions.
I followed one woman at 10:00 p.m. at night and she reserved seating for several couples for the next day. This is totally unacceptable and the staff did nothing to correct the problem.
It seems like Oceania is exclusively marketing to travel advisors, with little to no marketing efforts directed to upscale travelers. I believe this is a missed opportunity. There are many TH-cam creators that can amplify Oceania's merits directly to upscale consumers.
Not true.
@Cheri Furr It doesn't make sense to proclaim that someone's impression is true or false. And certainly not without presenting evidence to support. However, I have yet to view a video on the Oceania channel that wasn't meant for their travel advisors. With statements like "this is a selling point for your clients."
@Cheri Furr in this video, the host literally says, "we are going to talk about why travel advisors should be aware of Oceania Cruises." That's where my impression comes from.
Do waste you money on Oceania unless you really like bad seasick. Production show only consists of 4 people, music only play 45 minutes per day. All their money is spent on mailing advertising, 2 or 3 books per day in my mail box. Lobster is dry, tough with frozen taste. Specialty restaurants are not that good at all. Service is OK. Free wines is bad, $2.50 per bottle. I been to 250 cruises, this is the worst experience. Lots of adverting, most are paid TH-camR with free cruises, money, etc. and highly bias.. Do not believe them. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS WORTHLESS CRUISE. Small ship, Regent is the best, Vikings is second.
Troll..... Do everyone a favor learn better grammar and people can make there own decisions with and what we want to spend our money on.
