The Regatta is a perfect size for Alaska with just 684 passengers, it’s large enough to feature a range of facilities, from lounges like the Horizon’s top-ship observatory to the Martini Bar and from restaurants such as the Italian Toscana to the best-grill-at-sea-worthy Waves Grill. And even better: Regatta’s size gives it a cozy, sociable ambience and means it can access out-of-the-way ports of call that are off-limits to mega-ships.

On most cruises, the passengers fall into the mature traveler category — and most are well-traveled to begin with.

Plan for country club casual, and you’ll be fine (pretty flowing skirt/pants outfits for women, jackets and maybe one tie for men at night, and casual wear during the days onboard). There are no formal evenings, though many passengers do dress up for the welcome dinner.

A major refurbishment in June 2014 saw Regatta return, in most respects, looking new and feeling fresh. All cabins, particularly its biggest suites, got major upgrades, including new mattresses, carpeting, furniture and bedding. The popular Barista’s coffee bar, which up until the refurbishment had only existed on Oceania’s Marina and Riviera, was installed. The sundeck received gorgeous new mosaic tiling, ultra-comfy lounges and teak decking. The Grand Dining Room’s new table arrangement featured plenty of tables for two, always a hot ticket on cruise ships.

Interline rates on Oceania are valid for commercial and cargo airline employees (including defunct carriers), Air Traffic Controllers, spouses, dependent children under 21, retirees of the airlines, parents and parent-in-laws of the employee and anyone sharing the cabin. CRS employees (think Sabre, Worldspan, Amadeus), parents, parent-in-laws and retirees would be on request basis only. Employees, parents, parent-in-laws and retirees can get two cabins if approved on a request basis. Dependent children over 21 may also be approved for a cabin on request basis only. Request basis means we must submit your request to Oceania’s interline department and they may or may not approve your cabin for the interline rate.
