Cruise Ship Tour: Public Spaces on Oceania Cruises’ Sirena

One of the classic features of the storied ocean liners of the past was the “card room.” Sirena offers its own version of that card room (shown above) with tables for playing bridge, Scrabble or other card or board games.

During our visit, one table displayed the outer border of jigsaw puzzle with pieces strewn about, just waiting for guests to play. 

The center of nightly entertainment onboard Sirena is the Lounge, shown above. It’s a classy theater venue outfitted in grey, blue and gold decor. Comedians, magicians, singers, headline acts and jazz ensembles entertain guests here.

In addition to the venue’s fixed theater seating, including long couch-like seating, there are living-room-style chairs (movable), which give the space flexibility for events. The lounge also has a bar.  

For those who prefer outdoor activities, the ship has a top-deck shuffleboard area, shown above, as well as an adjacent putt-putt course, shown below.  

Sun worshippers will likely appreciate the padded loungers on the top deck. It’s just a short stairway down to the pool deck below, which has two whirlpools, a bar and outdoor dining area. 

Oceania’s guests like fine dining, but many are also partial to healthy choices and fitness activities. We saw a robust fitness room with state-of-the-art machines, as well as this separate area below with spinning machines and colorful Pilates balls.

The Canyon Ranch SpaClub’s ladies’ room locker area is shown above, and the men’s locker area is similar. Both have shower and steam room facilities.

Outside, spa guests also can head for the spa’s private relaxation area including this thalassotherapy pool, shown below.
