Alaska cruise comparison , Regent Seven Seas, Oceania, and Celebrity go head-to-head—find out which offers the best value and experience! Confused about which premium or luxury cruise line gives you the most bang for your buck? In this eye-opening episode of RTE-Travel Talk, Ken is joined by travel expert Christy Fitzharris of Wheels Up Travel to take a deep dive into a real-world pricing and value comparison of Regent Seven Seas, Oceania Cruises, and Celebrity Cruises—all sailing to Alaska in July 2025. You might think Regent, the luxury option, is always the most expensive—but the results may surprise you. Christy walks us through her expert process in helping clients compare not just the sticker price, but the true cost after inclusions, add-ons, excursions, dining, spa access, and more are factored in. She also reveals an exclusive, unpublished fare for Regent that dramatically changes the equation. We'll look at: ✅ What each cruise line includes (and doesn't) ✅ Crew-to-guest and space ratios ✅ Cost per square foot of cabin ✅ Value of the "ship within a ship" concept on Celebrity Retreat ✅ Differences in onboard vibe and experience ✅ Kid-friendliness and dress code expectations ✅ The hidden perks of working with a travel advisor If you're debating a luxury or premium cruise, or considering upgrading from mainstream lines like Royal Caribbean or Princess, this episode is your essential guide. Get clarity, avoid decision fatigue, and learn how to make your cruise dollars go farther—whether you're booking solo or with family.

Oceania Cruises' Mark Godden discusses fine dining and luxury on its small ships.

Oceania Cruises hat mit der Allura das zweite und auch schon letzte Kreuzfahrtschiff der Allura-Klasse in Dienst gestellt, das Schwesterschiff der Vista. Cruisetricks.de war gleich zu Beginn an Bord und hat sich das neue Kreuzfahrtschiff genau angesehen. Darüber sprechen wir in dieser Podcast-Episode. Aber es geht nicht nur um das Schiff mit seinen Besonderheiten und Highlights, sondern auch um Oceania Cruises insgesamt. Denn die US-Reederei ordnet sich angesichts der Konkurrenz in ihrem Umfeld jetzt eher dem unteren Luxus-Segment als bislang dem oberen Premium-Markt zu. Ob Oceania Cruises an sich diesem selbst gestellten Anspruch gerecht wird, das diskutieren wir ebenso wie die Frage, ob die Reederei eine weitere, hohe Messlatte überwindet: nämlich, „The Finest Cusine at Sea“ zu bieten. Wir ordnen ein und zeigen die Hintergründe dazu auf. In der Aftershow sprechen wir über die jüngste Verhaftungswelle in den USA, von der philippinische Crew-Mitglieder auf mehreren Schiffen betroffen waren. Die Situation ist angesichts der Vielzahl an Verhaftungen und der wenigen Kommunikation der Behörden und irritierenden Begleitumständen ebenso schwierig einzuschätzen, wie sie sich angesichts der erhobenen, aber bislang nicht bewiesenen Vorwürfe der Kinderpornografie wirklich beurteilen lässt. Wir diskutieren darüber, was dahinterstecken könnte.

Oceania Cruises is one of my all-time favourite cruise lines, and so I was incredibly excited to try their new class of ships. Until I did. I went on Vista, the first of this new class, and despite many great things, that I will tell you about, there is (for me anyway, and some others I spoke to) one deal breaker that means I will be sticking to their older ships unless something changes.

Oceania Cruises ist eine internationale Reederei deren Gäste das internationale Ambiente und den Austausch mit Reisenden aus aller Welt schätzen.

Dafür hat die Reederei langjährige Oceania Cruises-Reisende als Gastgeber engagiert. Audiotraveller Henry Barchet spricht mit Maik Schlüter, Director Business Development, und Achim Klump, einem der engagierten Gastgeber, wie Sprachbarrieren an Bord überwunden werden.

Kathleen from Plenty of Sunshine Travel met with Guillaume from Oceania Cruises for this week's cruise chat. . Guillaume & I were very excited that Oceania is celebrating its 20th Anniversary! Oceania started in 2003. Oceania started so small that they rented out desks so they didn't have to pay to furnish their office space. WOW, how they have grown. . Oceania now has six beautifully appointed ships, and they are one of the best premium/luxury cruise lines available for you to sail with. . The special offer for Oceania Cruises is: . As they celebrate 20 years of The Finest Cuisine at Sea, you can plan your next lifetime voyage with a special anniversary gift of up to $800 (USD) Shipboard Credit. Plus, take advantage of the OLife Choice offer 2-for-1 Cruise Fares, Free Roundtrip Airfare & Airport Transfers. Choose one free amenity: up to 8 Free Shore Excursions, Free Beverage Packages Up to $800 USD Free Shipboard Credit. . Oceana cruises is the only cruise line with a partnership with Don Perrion so that you can get a wonderful chef's table six-course dinner with three different vintages paired with Don Perrion. . Oceana cruises has extended its schedule to 2025 so you can book your cruise experience through me all the way up to 2025! Oceana cruises are one of the few cruises with solo cabins that are still ocean-facing. Many times the solo cabins are the interior, so it's wonderful to have an ocean-facing or balcony cabin and yet not have to pay a single supplement. . I really love that Oceania cruises are a maximum of 1200 passengers, so they have enough room and space for the extra amenities but yet small enough that the 900 crew will give you your personalized attention. . Oceana cruises always obtains fresh ingredients from the locals from the locations that you visit. Your meals are going to taste authentic, fresh and delicious! They're all made the minute you order. They are not premade and sitting under a warning lamp! .

This week we have the indescribably delicious Stephanie Hersh as our guest! Denise and Stephanie go way back. These days she is the onboard chef instructor on Oceania Cruises. You can watch her videos on Oceania's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/oceaniacruises/videos/1178549419210379/ While interested in food from an early age, Hersh recalls that pursuing a career in food was not always viewed with esteem, respect, and a degree of celebrity, but rather as invisible, manual labor. Regardless, after receiving her undergraduate degree, Hersh studied at the Culinary Institute of America, and happily began working in Boston-area hotel kitchens and as a private chef. While taking a course to augment her administrative skills, Hersh got word that Julia Child was looking for an assistant. “I never in a million years would have pictured myself with Julia,” she says. “It was a dream job.”    She currently lives in Christchurch, teaching adult education cooking courses and a twelve-week food technology course to New Zealand school children, 11 to 13 years of age. This food technology course is required across the country and serves as a pre-cursor to home economics courses, which are taken in high school. She teaches students how to use kitchen equipment, the basics of food processing, and creative, critical thinking skills.   Hersh advises all students, “Go with passion, absolute passion in the study of food. If you're not, there's no point in doing it. When you are happy, it becomes infectious.” She quips that while she has no idea what her future holds, “Whatever I'll be doing, I'll be happily doing it—and I'm proud and delighted that the Gastronomy program is carrying on so well.”   [The above is excerpted from “Celebrating Julia Child's Centenary with her Assistant and BU alumna, Stephanie Hersh” by Emily Contois.]     Stephanie's links: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephanie-hersh-46884511/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephanie.hersh.543 Buy the book: https://www.amazon.com/Generals-Cook-Novel-Ramin-Ganeshram/dp/1950691977/ref=sr_1_1   Women Beyond a Certain Age is an award-winning weekly podcast with Denise Vivaldo.

Stephanie Hersh dreamed of a job in the culinary world, but she never imagined she would have a front row seat to the life of the biggest culinary icon around, Julia Child. Stephanie became Julia's executive assistant in the most unlikely of ways, when a chance phone call came into the secretarial school she was attending after time at the Culinary Institute of America. The only catch? Julia wanted an office assistant, not a starry-eyed culinary school grad. Stephanie talked her way into the job and wound up becoming Julia's right hand for almost 16 years. Today, Stephanie is a chef instructor with Oceania Cruises and is based in New Zealand. She joins host Kerry Diamond to share some of her memories, her thoughts on the film Julie & Julia, and what Julia was like as a boss. Thank you to Mommenpop for sponsoring this episode. Our theme song is by the band Tra La La.Subscribe to our newsletter and check out past episodes and transcripts here!Listen to Dishing on Julia, The Official HBO Max Companion podcast, here!
