Oceania Cruises will introduce two new beverage packages on voyages beginning in 2012. The new wine, beer and spirits beverage packages were designed to enhance the culinary experience for guests while at the same time offering additional convenience and value.

Oceania Cruises has launched its 2012/13 winter cruise holiday ideas collection of worldwide cruises from September 2012 to May 2013 on board its four mid-sized luxury cruise ships. On offers are trips on the new 1,250 guest cruise ship Marina, her sister ship Riviera (launching April 2012), and the two 650 guest ships Regatta and Nautica.

Oceania Cruises has confirmed the Regatta will return to New England and Canada in the autumn next year. The 684-passenger vessel will sail a series of 12-day cruises between New York and Montreal, and will operate one 14-day cruise roundtrip from New York.

Oceania Cruises celebrated a major milestone earlier as the line’s new 1,250-guest Riviera vessel was afloat for the first time and moved from the construction dock to her fitting-out berth. “The float out of a ship is a beautiful occasion which marks the beginning of her life and we are eagerly anticipating the day next spring that we can unveil her to the world,” stated Frank Del Rio, chairman Prestige Cruise Holdings, parent company of Oceania Cruises.

Effective May 1, 2011, the company is adding additional positions to its executive ranks and streamlining key reporting paths as it continues its growth.

Inspired by the strong response it to its new seven-day itineraries for 2012, Oceania Cruises the upper-premium cruise line, has created two, 7 night departures in the Mediterranean in October and November 2011.
