Don't overlook Azamara. They have long focused on itineraries and have a low-key vibe rather like HAL. I haven't yet cruised Oceania -- every time I think I will book with them, something about the experience turns me off.

 

On our last Celebrity cruise, I bought a future cruise credit with Azamara.  I'm a bit on the fence now looking at prices, but they had an excellent transpacific last year, and some fair repos down the South American coast.  Transatlantic prices are fair too, but I would rather try Viking Ocean for the money.

I'm also looking for an opportunity to try Viking. As a solo, though, I've seen some good deals on select Azamara cruises for solo travelers, whereas Viking doesn't seem to have many...

Azamara pricing often starts VERY high, but they often run promos on closer in sailings (within 3-6 months) that can make them very affordable.  Now not every sailing ends up on the discount list, but if your plans are flexible and you are able hold out for a good deal Azamara do offer a good product
