Oceana commenced sailing with P&O Cruises in November 2002. At the time she was the largest vessel in the fleet, and the first to accommodate over 2000 passengers. In her maiden season, Oceana introduced some new ports of call to P&O Cruises itineraries. These included Cristobal in Panama, Costa Maya in Mexico and Princess Cays, the private island of P&O Cruises sister company, Princess Cruises.

Offering a relaxed and child-friendly cruise experience, Oceana offers a particularly flexible and spontaneous experience, with three dining options to choose from. Step on board and her atrium provides a glamorous first impression. Gleaming marble steps invite you to explore further. Glass fronted lifts glide up and down. And palm trees invoke the holiday spirit!
