It pioneered the concept of Freestyle Cruising, which has no formal dress codes and no set dining times or tablemates \u2014 a departure from the classic cruise style of the early days.<\/p>\n<p>In its most modern iterations, the line features astounding technology that ranges from a giant virtual-reality arcade and laser tag to nearly full-scale Broadway productions.<\/p>\n<p>In 2013, the line went public under Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings. One year later, NCLH acquired Prestige Cruises International, Inc. \u2014 the former parent company of Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises \u2014 from a private equity firm and rolled all three brands under the NCLH umbrella.<\/p>\n<div class=\"&#10;        EmailSignUp_container__70lh2&#10;        undefined&#10;        EmailSignUp_isLoading__zGkU5&#10;      \"><picture class=\"EmailSignUp_graphic__AEA5s\"><source media=\"screen and (max-width: 767px)\" srcset=\"\/images\/EmailSignUp\/daily-mob.svg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/images\/EmailSignUp\/daily-dt.svg\"\/><\/picture>\n<div class=\"EmailSignUp_form__cnneL\">\n<p>Daily Newsletter<\/p>\n<p>Reward your inbox with the TPG Daily newsletter<\/p>\n<p>Join over 700,000 readers for breaking news, in-depth guides and exclusive deals from TPG\u2019s experts<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Related: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/cruise\/norwegian\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">All you need to know about Norwegian Cruise Line<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"oceania-cruises\" class=\"jsx-3480274316 anchor\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"jsx-3480274316\">Oceania Cruises<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"jsx-4252866712 tpg-figure\">\n<div style=\"padding-top:0\" class=\"jsx-36530878 full-width-auto-height-image\"><span style=\"box-sizing:border-box;display:block;overflow:hidden;width:initial;height:initial;background:none;opacity:1;border:0;margin:0;padding:0;position:relative\"><span style=\"box-sizing:border-box;display:block;width:initial;height:initial;background:none;opacity:1;border:0;margin:0;padding:0;padding-top:66.6875%\"\/><img alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"responsive\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;bottom:0;right:0;box-sizing:border-box;padding:0;border:none;margin:auto;display:block;width:0;height:0;min-width:100%;max-width:100%;min-height:100%;max-height:100%\"\/><noscript><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"responsive\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;bottom:0;right:0;box-sizing:border-box;padding:0;border:none;margin:auto;display:block;width:0;height:0;min-width:100%;max-width:100%;min-height:100%;max-height:100%\" sizes=\"100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2023\/05\/20230515_Oceania-Cruises-Vista_ESilverstein_111.jpg?width=640 640w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2023\/05\/20230515_Oceania-Cruises-Vista_ESilverstein_111.jpg?width=750 750w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2023\/05\/20230515_Oceania-Cruises-Vista_ESilverstein_111.jpg?width=828 828w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2023\/05\/20230515_Oceania-Cruises-Vista_ESilverstein_111.jpg?width=1080 1080w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2023\/05\/20230515_Oceania-Cruises-Vista_ESilverstein_111.jpg?width=1200 1200w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2023\/05\/20230515_Oceania-Cruises-Vista_ESilverstein_111.jpg?width=1920 1920w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2023\/05\/20230515_Oceania-Cruises-Vista_ESilverstein_111.jpg?width=2048 2048w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2023\/05\/20230515_Oceania-Cruises-Vista_ESilverstein_111.jpg?width=3840 3840w\" src=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2023\/05\/20230515_Oceania-Cruises-Vista_ESilverstein_111.jpg?width=3840\"\/><\/noscript><\/span><\/div><figcaption class=\"jsx-4252866712 figcaption\">Oceania Cruises&#8217; Vista.

In 2006, its name was changed to Regent Seven Seas Cruises, which is what it remains today.<\/p>\n<p>When the line changed hands in 2008, Prestige Cruises International, Inc. was created as an umbrella company for Regent and Oceania. Prestige was eventually purchased by NCLH in 2014, which brought Regent into the Norwegian family of cruise lines.<\/p>\n<p>Regent operates as an ultra-luxury, nearly all-inclusive brand \u2014 perhaps the most lavish and expensive of any cruise line. It features fine linens, fantastic food, cooking classes, extensive onboard art collections and marble bathrooms. Its fares include things like gratuities, alcohol, Wi-Fi and even some shore excursions.<\/p>\n<p>The fleet&#8217;s six vessels are on the smaller side, with the largest carrying just 750 passengers.
