Sirena

One-way across the Med, then Caribbean round-trips from Miami

Sirena’s Mediterranean voyages run from March to August, the Australian autumn and winter, with Venice departures into November. They last nine or ten nights and link Venice, Istanbul, Rome’s port of Civitavecchia and Barcelona. Sailings from Istanbul end in Venice or Civitavecchia; stops change between departures, but you might see Santorini, Kuşadası for Ephesus or Dubrovnik. From Venice she heads for Barcelona, Civitavecchia or Istanbul, from A$2,724pp*, and typical calls include Split, Corfu and Kotor. From Barcelona she sails to Lisbon or to Venice; ports vary, and Palma de Mallorca, Port Mahon and Cagliari are among those on the way to Venice.

In November and December, as the Australian summer arrives, she runs 12- and 14-night Caribbean round-trips from Miami. Calls change from one sailing to the next; Willemstad on Curaçao, Castries in Saint Lucia and Fort de France in Martinique are typical. In September and October she also sails 12 nights from New York to Montreal, with Halifax and Québec City among the usual stops.

Each of these departures means a flight from Australia, and because most of her voyages are one-way, we book the flight out, the flight home from the port she finishes in, the hotel either side and the transfers as one holiday with the cruise. Sirena is one of Oceania Cruises‘ Regatta Class ships, a class that includes Nautica and Insignia.

Cocktails in Horizons and shows in The Lounge

Sirena’s evenings move between Horizons, Martinis and The Lounge. Horizons is her observation lounge, with floor-to-ceiling windows over the sea: a quiet place for a book or Afternoon Tea by day, and for music and dancing after dark. Martinis serves countless takes on its namesake, from a traditional dry martini to the bar’s own versions, while The Lounge stages headline performances, comedy, magic and live jazz, all included in the fare.

Drinks in the bars are charged unless you have a beverage package, though the illy espressos and cappuccinos at Baristas are complimentary, with pastries and biscotti alongside.

Days at sea have their own rhythm. The Fitness Center runs complimentary Pilates, yoga and strength classes, the Aquamar Spa + Vitality Center adds treatments and salon services for a fee, and the running track high on deck comes with sweeping sea views. The English-style Library holds over 2,000 books and periodicals for quieter hours.

Red Ginger and Tuscan Steak, with no surcharge

Sirena’s specialty restaurants are included in the fare, so a table at Red Ginger or Tuscan Steak is part of the cruise rather than a splurge. Red Ginger works bold and delicate Asian flavours, from spicy duck salad and ramen to seven-spice lamb, paired with premium sakes and spice-forward cocktails. Tuscan Steak, on Deck 10, sets wood-panelled rooms around filet mignon, the signature Tuscan porterhouse, hand-rolled potato gnocchi and steamed Maine lobster.

The Grand Dining Room is the nightly anchor, with a changing menu of Continental and global dishes, at least ten appetisers and entrées each evening, an Executive Chef’s Tasting Menu and wellness-focused options. For something easier, Waves Grill by the pool cooks burgers and seafood to order through the afternoon, with hand-dipped shakes and artisanal ice cream.

Are there solo fares on Sirena?

Yes. Oceania’s Solo Traveler Fares are designed for guests sailing alone, giving you a cabin of your own without the usual full double-occupancy pricing, which can bring significant savings compared with standard rates.
