Ship
Vista
Overview

A marvel in the making, Vista will deliver The Finest Cuisine at Sea, exceptional personalized service with two staff members for every three guests, a warm and welcoming ambiance as a result of the ship's captivating residential furnishings and introduce several unique firsts for the brand in the realms of dining and guest experiences. Vista's next-generation Owner's Suites will be revealed in the coming weeks, with her inaugural voyages opening for sale in September 2021.

Dining

Grand Dining Room

The Grand Dining Room is the luxurious grand dame of Oceania Cruises' culinary world. Here, guests will savor a leisurely dining experience in a truly magnificent and inspired room whose ambiance soars to equally lofty heights as the cuisine. This signature dining experience has always offered a bevy of delicious Continental dishes, and now a fresh and new array of options brings even more exciting possibilities. Every day presents a realm of choices, from signature Jacques Pépin classics to an incredible spectrum of global flavors and an all-new Executive Chef's Tasting Menu. Menus change daily with an expansive choice of at least 10 appetizers, soups and salads and 10 dinner entrees, along with healthy options such as Aquamar Vitality Cuisine. 

Ember

Ember is the signature addition to Oceania Cruises' family of restaurants. Open for lunch and dinner, Ember is the ideal place to warm your culinary soul. Featuring a menu of inventive American creations blended with time-honored classics, this inviting dining spot will instantly charm you with its alluring ambiance and tantalizing menu.  Whether you are looking forward to a leisurely evening of dining or a quick dinner before catching the headline show, Ember is where you want to be. Braised Short Ribs on Polenta, Grilled Swordfish with Asparagus, Crab Cakes with Spicy Aioli, and a hearty Cobb Salad with Smoked Chicken are just a few of the delights designed to tempt the palate.  

Polo Grill

Polo Grill delights diners with the ultimate classic steakhouse experience presented with timeless reverence. Richly layered decor and an abundance of custom millwork create an imaginative rendition of tradition set against crisp white linen tablecloths while a cadre of black jacketed servers set the tone for an evening of gracious dining. Each course stands as the very definition of time-honored favorites, most notably the beef dishes, all of which are 28-day dry aged certified Black Angus USDA Prime, while succulent seafood dishes such as grilled swordfish and whole Maine lobster gratinée are also classics in their own right.

Toscana

Toscana presents an evolution of Tuscan cuisine in a truly Italian setting of rich Chianina leather, hand-blown Venetian glass and Carrara marble. Evolved from generational family traditions, many of our recipes originated with the mothers and grandmothers of our own Italian culinary staff. Presented on elegant, custom-designed Versace china, masterfully prepared dishes exemplify the essence of Tuscany and celebrate Italy’s culinary passion. Perhaps the evening begins with the octopus carpaccio with Champagne vinaigrette or the artichoke and parmesan cheese timbale with black truffle sauce, followed by classic dishes such as the hand-rolled gnocchi with pesto, a rich risotto with lobster medallions and shallots, or a pan-seared sea bass filet finished with Sorrento lemon, chardonnay and capers.

Red Ginger

Red Ginger radiates harmony and tranquility while evoking the boldness and subtleties of the extraordinary Pan-Asian dishes our talented chefs have created. Much like the room itself, the Thai, Korean, Japanese and Malaysian rooted specialties are a melange of spicy and soothing, savory and sweet to please virtually every palate. Begin with a salad of spicy roast duck and watermelon with cashews, mint and Thai basil. Savor a Malaysian beef penang with coconut rice and paratha roti. Or try Thai vegetable curry with sweet potatoes, aubergine, mushrooms and basil in green curry sauce. In Red Ginger, the gustatory pleasures are as striking as the visual ones.

Terrace Cafe

Terrace Cafe is the ultimate informal dining experience any time of day, whether inside the plushily adorned dining room or alfresco at one of the shaded tables on the stylish terrace. At breakfast, Terrace Cafe features a seemingly never-ending selection of sumptuous savory and sweet temptations including made-to-order eggs, omelets, pancakes and waffles. Come lunch, an expansive menu of international-inspired dishes is complemented by flavorful roasted and rotisserie meats and the magic of the pizzeria's oven. In the evening, you’ll enjoy dinner in decidedly relaxed comfort as our chefs serve up an astounding array of dishes. Revel in a bounty of selections, from grilled-to-order lobster tails, fish, filets and steaks to freshly made, hand-cut sushi and sashimi. A varied menu of hot and cold specialties changes daily along with our hallmark Chef's Market Dinners featuring locally inspired specialties from the ports of call.

Afternoon Tea

Teatime is a celebratory daily event that irresistibly draws guests to Horizons at four o'clock sharp. As a classical string quartet plays softly in the background, our staff glides through the room presenting bountiful four-tiered pastry carts filled with freshly made finger sandwiches, colorful petits fours, richly textured scones with clotted cream and wonderfully sinful desserts. Of course, a selection of artisanal teas is the centerpiece of this splendid afternoon pastime.

Library

Guests often state that the Library is their favorite spot to relax on board our ships, so special care was taken to ensure that Vista’s Library inspires quietude and respite. Glass walls offer views of soothing seascapes, but the greatest comfort may be found within the Library’s inner sanctum. The aesthetic recalls a traditional equestrian estate - warm and inviting with an atmosphere of effortless, timeless luxury. It is the perfect place to curl up with a best-selling novel, peruse a guidebook on your next destination or simply indulge in a nap in one of the plush, oversized chairs.

Bars & Lounges
Martinis
The lounge known as Martinis is far more than a place to sip a signature cocktail - although its namesake libation alone is reason enough to spend some time here. Martinis is a glamorous destination that welcomes guests to a warm, inviting setting amidst walls of shimmering glass under a canopy of crystal. The classic elegance of Vista’s Martinis offers a fresh perspective of timeless elegance and is a brilliant reflection of art and culture.

The resulting space evokes exclusivity - the feel of a luxurious private club - inviting guests to relax and enjoy an aperitif before dinner or a nightcap before retiring as they relive the day’s adventures with fellow explorers.

Vista Lounge
Our entertainment architects have engineered a space with the best possible acoustics and visual lines to provide a home worthy of the engaging talent that you will witness in the Vista Lounge. During the daytime, experts in their fields - from diplomats to chefs to historians - enlighten you with enrichment programs that provide insight into the regions you are exploring. After the sun sets, the Vista Lounge presents a new line-up of entertainment to enthrall the audience, including sophisticated cabarets, world-class musicians, dynamic vocalists and exclusive headliners.

Horizons
The most distinctive feature of aptly named Horizons is the lounge’s dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows, offering 180 degrees of stunning vistas that are the ship’s namesake. This space celebrates the journey by providing a unique perspective on the alluring destinations that await ashore and the seas that carry you to what lies ahead. To ensure that you can fully appreciate these sweeping panoramas, Horizons is appointed with comfortable furnishings in soothing tones that create a sense of home, even as the view assures you that you are far from it.

Waves Bar
Located in a shaded area just steps from the swimming pool, Waves Bar offers a wide variety of libations to enhance your poolside experience. Revel in the perfect afternoon on deck with your favorite cocktail, glass of wine or chilled beer. Come happy hour, signature cocktails and frosty beverages create a delightfully carefree segue to the lively evening ahead as the sun sets.

Devils Island, French Guiana
City Devil's Island

The most notorious of the three Salvation Islands, Devil's Island functioned for generations as a French penal colony.

Though subject to the British Queen, Argentinean claims to the "Islas Malvinas" caused war in 1982.

City Ushuaia

The world's southernmost city, Ushuaia overlooks Beagle Channel, named after the ship that took Charles Darwin to the bottom of the world.
