Oceania Regatta deck plans

Oceania Regatta (1998-built as “R-Two,” last refurbished in 2022, with the OceaniaNEXT refurbishment completed in 2021) is one of the R-class Oceania ships, together with ms Insignia (R-One), ms Nautica (R-Five) and ms Sirena (R-Four). In the Azamara fleet, MS Regatta’s sisterships are Azamara Onward (R-Three), Azamara Journey (R-Six), Azamara Quest (R-Seven) and Azamara Pursuit (R-Eight).

The ship was built for Renaissance Cruises (founded in 1989 and defunct since 2001) and operated under the name “R Two” from 1998 to 2002. For one year (2002-2003), she was named “ms Insignia,” and in 2003 she received her current name, “ms Regatta,” upon joining the Oceania Cruises brand.

MS Regatta’s deck plan shows a total of 349 staterooms for 698 double-occupancy passengers (maximum capacity 803), served by approximately 400 crew and staff. The ship has 11 decks (9 accessible to passengers, 5 with cabins), 4 restaurants, 11 lounges and bars, 1 swimming pool, 3 outdoor Jacuzzis (large whirlpool hot tubs, including 1 in the Spa area), 4 elevators, and no self-service laundry facilities.

Oceania Cruises Regatta is positioned as an “inexpensive luxury” cruise vessel. Among her standout features are the fine teak-decked passenger areas and verandas, as well as the upscale dining experience, highlighted by quality linens, China by Villeroy & Boch, silverware by Christofle, and crystal glassware by Riedel.
