Overseas Adventure Travel Cruises

OAT is dedicated to the mature traveler. Because of that, few younger passengers or families with kids end up choosing OAT for their journeys. Solo travelers are well-catered-to with specials and promotions that make participation affordable, and OAT caters primarily to English-speaking travelers residing in the United States who prefer to travel with other like-minded Americans. Those looking for an international experience may find themselves disappointed with the homogenous onboard product; those who prefer to not mix with folks from other cultures will find themselves right at home.

Dress aboard all Overseas Adventure Travel ships is casual, with destination-specific clothing reigning as the order of the day. While a few vessels may offer formal nights, this is the exception rather than the rule. Many passengers do choose to dress up a little for dinner, donning slacks and nice collared shirts or blouses for the ladies.

No. Gratuities, beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), spa treatments, and other items of a personal nature are typically not included. Inclusions can vary by ship and destination, so it is important to always double-check all the information and documentation first. Inclusions on the company’s land-only or land-cruise itineraries may vary.

Because the majority of ships that OAT charters space on are smaller, most of the activity takes place on-shore. Nightlife tends to be subdued on most vessels, though this can be more lively on sailings aboard the bigger vessels.

Best for: American cruisers over 50 looking to travel with like-minded individuals.

Not for: Families, younger couples or those looking for a more international experience.
