 See Alaska by Small Ship

 Oceania Cruises inaugural season in Alaska is currently open for bookings.   To kick off the traditional start of the selling season, they have announced a Double Bonus Savings Offer.

“We are offering our best fares ever on our inaugural Alaska sailings as we kick-off the traditional Alaska selling season,” stated Bob Binder, president of Oceania Cruises. “We have a long-standing tradition of offering the best fares and promotions up-front to reward our loyal guests and encourage them to book their preferred voyage and accommodations as early as possible.”

Travelers will discover Alaska aboard Oceania Cruises’ 684-guest Regatta – an intimate ship known for its gourmet cuisine, luxurious public rooms and accommodations, and attentive service. As a special highlight, Pacific Northwest specialties will be featured during lunch in the casual Terrace Café and in the ship’s elegant Grand Dining Room. Regional specialties will also be showcased in all four of the ship’s open-seating restaurants; all of which are available with no surcharge.

Oceania Cruises has announced Double Bonus Savings on 10 exciting, new voyages for summer 2011. The limited-time promotion offers per stateroom savings of $1,000 off cruise fares plus a $1,000 shipboard credit on top of two-for-one prices and free airfare. In addition, third and fourth guests in a stateroom may travel for only $999 per person, cruise-only.

Depending on the cruise, scenic highlights encompass Hubbard Glacier, the Gulf of Alaska, Tracy Arm and College Fjord.

Oceania Sails to Europe

Oceania Insignia - Monte Carlo

Oceania Cruises

2011 European Program

2011 marks Oceania Marina's inaugural European season during which time she joins Insignia and Nautica sailing to every corner of the continent.  The 2011 European Collection contains 32 wonderfully imaginative itineraries of which 21 are new.   Oceania has also added eight new ports within Europe, further expanding their already impressive reach. The new focus for 2011 is a region Oceania calls Continental Europe along the Western European coast. 

Enjoy 2 for 1 Cruise Fares with Free Airfare.* 

Reflections in Rome

Your 10 - 18 day European cruise adventure starts and ends in ports of call including Barcelona, Rome, Venice, Athens, Istanbul, Copenhagen, Stockholm, London, Miami, and Rio de Janeiro.   When traveling from the United States to Europe, I recommend spending one or more days before your cruise exploring the departure port  while getting adjusted to the time difference.   This also removes the stress of arriving on the cruise departure day.  Some of the itineraries allow you to extend your stay in a different port of call at the conclusion of your cruise.

*Free Airfare promotion applies to economy, round-trip flights only from select Oceania Cruises U.S. & Canadian gateways and does not include ground transfers.  2 for 1 cruise fares are based on full brochure prices, based on double occupancy, and subject to additional terms and conditions.  This Oceania offer expires August 31, 2010.   Booking early gives you best choice of cabins and itineraries.    More information about Oceania Cruises
