OctoberKat Posted March 16, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Hello, we would like to plan our first cruise on Oceania, considering Montreal - NYC itinerary, in vista or owner's suite, NOT on Marina or Riviera. Appreciate advice, suggestions, insights, input of any kind. Context: We have a single cruise to our credit on Regent Navigator with three more sea cruises booked on Seabourn and Silversea together with a Belmond barge trip along the canals of Burgundy.

TrulyBlonde Posted March 16, 2015 #2 Share Posted March 16, 2015 My suggestion would be to NOT discount Riviera. It is one of the most beautiful ships at sea and as someone new to cruising it would show you the difference between a slightly larger ship vs: the R ships. I think you would thoroughly enjoy it.

Rare LHT28 Posted March 16, 2015 #3 Share Posted March 16, 2015 It may be better to read though some of the threads even use the search feature then come back with specific questions/concerns Oceania is not like Regent so if you are looking for Luxury all inclusive you will be disappointed I agree look at the O class ships as well JMO YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orchestrapal Posted March 16, 2015 #4 Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) Would advise OS over VS because of the real possibility of some rough seas and the front of the R ships really do absorb every higher wave.. We love the OS and the ability to eat from any restaurant in your very own space. Enjoy Oceania. Edited March 16, 2015 by orchestrapal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OctoberKat Posted March 17, 2015 Author #5 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Thanks all, I'll add the two larger vessels to the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

journeyfan Posted March 17, 2015 #7 Share Posted March 17, 2015 If you're only interested in a Montreal-NY cruise, then you'll have to cruise on an R ship as the O ships don't do that itinerary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ronrick1943 Posted March 17, 2015 #8 Share Posted March 17, 2015 We've done the cruise, really nice and the Owners Suite is the way to go--a bit big but very nice. If you do go on the "M" nor "R" look at the Oceania Suite also nice a bit smaller but I like better than the Owner Suite. (two of them are in the back of the ship.)

arima22 Posted March 17, 2015 #9 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Marina does the reverse, NY to Montreal, May 2015 but not in 2016. As of tonight they have OS listed as available. Only the R ships do this itinerary in 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lespes Posted April 8, 2015 #10 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I've was in a Penthouse suite toward the front of the Regatta sailing from New York to Montreal and had no problem with rough water. I also was in a Vista Suite on a Mediterranean voyage on Insignia, and likewise had no problem with motion, and I am very prone to sea sickness. Likewise in a concierge cabin at the very front of the Insignia, right next to a Vista suite on a cruise to South America . The Vista suite is large enough. The Owner suite I saw was larger than I needed, and it is nice to be in the front having the Captain's view going into and out of ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff-FLL Posted May 6, 2015 #11 Share Posted May 6, 2015 We're scheduled in October for NY/YUL in an OS. A little bit smallish, having become accustomed to the OS on Riviera and Marina (twice the size) but we'll give it a shot. For a 10-day cruise, it should be adequate but, at 1,000 sf, you shouldn't expect wide-open spaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChatKat in Ca. Posted May 6, 2015 #13 Share Posted May 6, 2015 We leave tomorrow for the Marina NY to Montreal. We did the same itinerary on Regent on the Navigator. A few ports are different. I expect it will lovely. We have sailed on all the Regent ships and the Oceania ships except Insignia. The Riviera is lovely. If you have any questions about the differences between the lines, happy to answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
