Your first port of call to book Southampton Cruises!

P&O Cruises | Oceana | 2012 | Southampton No Fly Cruises >>>

Oceana, was one of the original 'White Sisters',- the other being Adonia which has now switched back to Princess Cruises as the Sea Princess.  

Displaying all the hallmarks of a Princess Ship rather than a true P&O classic liner, Oceana is a family friendly, very warm and welcoming ship!

Offering a true 'WOW' factor and a focal point of the ship for many goings on, The Atrium is very elegant, 4 decks high and comes complete with glass elevators, marble staircases, a Tiffany styled stained glass ceiling, palm trees and even a small water feature which Charlie Dimmock would be proud of.

One deck up on Deck 6 you are invited to some retail therapy. The upmarket Bond Street has a fine display of jewellery while Regent Street offers the chance to pick up those holiday essentials.

Tiffany's is a popular bar-lounge area and wraps around the Atrium on Deck 7 (Promenade Deck). There is plenty of cosy seating areas ideal for use in the daytime to people watch or for pre-dinner or late night drinks. A piano and small dance floor provides a welcome alternative to the main disco.

Café Jardin on Deck 8 situated at the very top of the atrium is now the home for celebrity chef, Marco Pierre White's restaurant (cover charge applies).

'Footlights', the 530 seat theatre is located forward on Promenade Deck is the home of The Stadium Theatre Company who raise the curtain for fabulous highlights of 'West End' shows such as Phantom of the Opera, The Lion King, Mamman Mia and more!

Based on a traditional English Maritime Yacht Club the 'Yacht & Compass' is a great venue for drinks before and after shows in the nearby Footlights Theatre. The comfy leather armchairs, rich woods and brass provide a warm and relaxed atmosphere to listen and dance to the live band who frequently play here.

Oceana now offers a 'Freedom Dining' option- here you are able to dine in the Ligurian restaurant at what time you wish between 6.00pm and 10.00pm and with whom you wish either by simply turning up or by booking ahead.

For guests who prefer the more traditional dining arrangement, the Adriatic Restaurant offers traditional 'Club Dining' with 1st and 2nd sittings where you keep the same table time and waiters every night.

Both restaurants offer a luxurious backdrop of rich woods, soft lighting and murals depicting classic Italian landscapes complemented by crisp white linens.

For casual dining with fabulous forward sea views The Plaza offers buffet breakfast and lunch. In an evening it transforms one side to offer a 'Select Bistro Restaurant' for a small cover charge. Staff are very vigilant to ensure passengers use hand sanitizers in this area every time you visit the buffet section. The disappearance of trays can however mean unnecessary journeys to gather all you need to enjoy a meal!


Rising up in three tiers over the pool area on Lido Deck is The Riviera Bar, Horizon Grill and Pennant Bar. The lowest, The Riviera Bar offers refreshing cocktails whilst sunbathing and is sometimes also used for the Captains pre-dinner cocktail party.

The Horizon Grill serves as two functions - by day you can enjoy freshly cooked burgers and grilled chicken wraps whilst in the evening it is transformed into another of the alternative or 'select restaurants' where you can enjoy succulent steaks, grilled prawns and more under the stars al fresco style for a small supplement of approx £7 per person.

The Pennant Bar is the highest point on Oceana and offers breathtaking views over the horizon as well as the pool area two decks below.


Located midship on Lido Deck is the Riviera Pool and slightly smaller Crystal Pool - both sheltered from the wind on all sides helps make this a perfect suntrap. The three Jacuzzi's provide warm bubbles which are ideal to relax in with a cocktail. Two more Jacuzzi's and a circular pool await you near the Terrace Bar which is Aft on Sun Deck.


Perfect for sea days is the well stocked audio and book Library with its comfortable reading and listening chairs. Cyb@study allows you to catch up on emails or to browse the internet. Also available is special workshops giving instruction on the use of computers or software packages such as photoshop. There is also the facility to download images to CD if you need. Overflow internet terminals are also available at the Explorers Bar in the Reception area on Formosa Deck (F Deck) with various value time plans available for users.


'Starlights' is the second show lounge onboard and is located Aft on Promenade Deck. Providing the audience with a more intimate experience it is often used for comedians and other entertainers. During the day the venue is used to provide Port Enhancement Presentations.


'Magnums' is the champagne and caviar bar located midships on Promenade Deck with comfortable seating and large sea view windows, it is the ideal venue to meet for pre-dinner or late night drinks. By day the area is great if you want to relax in a light and airy place with a good book or to take in the great views.


'Winners Bar' midships on Deck 8 is a sports bar complete with flat screen TV's, with large comfortable and funky chairs to catch the latest game. Adjoining Winners' and either side of a circular marble staircase is the ship gaming area - 'Monte Carlos' where you will find card and roulette tables plus a bank of one arm bandits!
