Finally! Professional YouTubers who have done a comprehensive review of the Oceania Riviera experience. I really love the video format and style. We have two sailings on the Riviera early next year, after the drydock and the cabin refresh. It will be our first experience with Oceania.

Love seeing the two of you interact and explain the ship from a very personal perspective. Well done!

[TheRevPeter]

You two are a joy to watch! And I love that in a 30 minute video, you dedicate 10% of the time to scones! I've watched that section multiple times, and made my wife watch it with me. Keep it up!

We have been looking closely at doing an Oceania cruise, and this was a great video going into detail of what to expect. Job well done.

[FraserAtSea]

This style of video has worked great with you two - I could sit and listen to you guide us through a ship for hours! Really detailed view - I'd love to try Oceania one day - they look fantastic!

[roberta]

Your Oceania blog was SO interesting, and well done!
Regarding the tea, my wife & I totally agree with you, that a ‘tea’ must have scones as the centre of the tea universe! We also noticed the sandwiches were a bit too large, and that cucumber sandwiches, as you mentioned, should be on the tea tray as well.
We hope they pick up on your suggestions, including the 3 tiered cake plate!
Thanks for offering such a lovely overview!

Looking at a cruise on Oceania Rivera from Japan to Singapore, and I must say your constructive and honest review has been very helpful. Well Done!!! Really enjoyed watching you both.

I loved this format and length of video. The little chairs were ideal for the chatty style. Thanks for the comprehensive review.

Oceania is a real good fit for us especially as you have a greater variety of cabins (and price points) then the “suite only” top lines. Without doubt the food overall is excellent (though subjective) and a “Cuban” at waves grill is to die for! Many thanks Helen & Rich for another really informative video 🙏👍. OTBC!

I have been fortunate enough to cruise on the Oceania Sirena, one of the smaller ships. I loved it. After seeing this video of the Riviera I think I would like to try one of the larger Oceania ships.

It is even more fabulous on the ship now - the cabins and suites are totally redecorated on renovated - new furniture, linens, etc in a light bright color scheme and fabulous NEW BATHROOM - all new bathroom fixtures, vanity marble - all done at end of 2022.

I'm with you on the early to rise and hit the gym. Looks really nice! We have a sailing scheduled on her, so enjoyed the vid. Thanks! (And agreed on the scones too ;)

Hello to you both!! I try to catch all your vlogs and really enjoy them. QUESTION...I am considering an Oceania cruise to Norway/Scandinavia. I recently took a Viking cruise to that area and, for the most part, really enjoyed it. Ship was wonderful, we had a PS1 (Penthouse Junior Suite) which was phenomenal. Service throughout was great. Downside...we thought the food was good, but not great, even in speciality restaurants and we were not happy with the majority of the excursions. Way too many people, about 50 per excursion. Oceania has penthouse suites, which look good, but not quite as homely as Viking? Oceania seems more glitzy, more bling and sparkle, may not be "us". Looks like excursions can be under 16 people, but not sure if that incurs an additional cost. Food on Oceania better than Viking? I'm really not sure what would be a better fit. Your opinion please? Many thanks.

We sailed Azamara after your reviews, and now we want to try Oceania. Excellent review. Keep up the great work!!!!

[barbb]

Great video, have never considered a Oceania cruise, might look into it. Totally agree with you that the scone is a necessary part of afternoon tea .

[davids]

I’m researching for a cruise to Alaska in the next year or two and riviera is on my list. I glossed over the pool information as I don’t think it will even be open, or if it is I won’t be out there! The art classes seem really interesting. Not sure if I want to commit 2 hours daily though. I’ve heard the scenery from the ship is not to be missed.

[lynnleipold]

Thanks for doing this. Next time try the afternoon tea on a Viking ship. They get it right scones and all! Saying that, we have cruised a number of times on Oceania and have loved it. Greetings from South Carolina.

[arnolddamico]

Thank you for the wonderful video!! The Riviera is undergoing a significant dry dock in Dec 2022. I hope the ship is as comfortable after the changes. Keep up the great work!!

[Kimmer]

Great review! You have convinced us to try Oceana over Viking. We don't drink alcohol so we like how Oceana handles drinks compared to Viking where we felt like we subsidized everyone else on the ship. Viking had had few considerations for non alcoholic drinkers we discovered.

I love your videos always, we already booked for next year Oceania Allura from Lisboa to New York, concierge level
