Oceania Cruises is preparing to scrap its long-standing ‘OLife’ promotion as the upper-premium cruise line looks to streamline its offering to guests. Frank A Del Rio, President of Oceania Cruises, announced the move onboard Vista on Sunday morning during a travel partner and media update.

Oceania Cruises has taken delivery of its first ship in more than 10 years, the 1,200-guest, Vista. Delivered at Fincantieri’s shipyard in Genoa, Italy, Oceania Cruises’ initial Allura Class ship features several firsts in the realms of dining, accommodation and guest experience.

Oceania Cruises has partnered with multi-award-winning whisky brand, Chapter 7, on the creation of an exclusive 20-year-old small-batch cask of whisky to celebrate the launch of new ship, Vista, and the brand’s 20th anniversary.

Oceania Cruises has taken the wraps off its new show-stopping entertainment options on board Vista, the first of two ships in the line’s new Allura Class.

Oceania Cruises has named celebrated Italian-American chef, author, restaurateur and Emmy Award-winning food personality Giada De Laurentiis as Godmother of its newest ship Vista, debuting May 2023. Multiple Grammy and Emmy Award-winning singer, pianist and actor Harry Connick Jr. will appear alongside De Laurentiis at the star-studded christening and naming ceremony, taking place on 8 May in Valletta, Malta.

Oceania Cruises hosted a group of its leading travel advisors on the Gold Coast to a VIP lunch alongside ‘The Wine Man’, Peter Bourne, last week.

Oceania Cruises has confirmed the name of its second Allura Class ship as Allura. The 1,200-guest vessel – a sister ship to Vista that premieres this May – will be the cruise line’s eighth vessel and will debut in 2025.

Oceania Cruises is celebrating two decades delivering guests The Finest Cuisine at Sea®, Curated Travel Experiences and Small Ship Luxury with a limited-time 20th Anniversary Sale. To mark the milestone, the cruise line will be featuring a special gift of up to $800 Shipboard Credit per stateroom or suite on 110 voyages across seven ships sailing to the Caribbean, Mediterranean, South Pacific, Alaska, Asia and more.

“Unprecedented demand” for Oceania Cruises’ new ship, Vista, has seen a fast-tracked launch date for the 1,200-passenger ship, the cruise line has confirmed.

Oceania Cruises hosted 12 top-producing travel advisors in NSW at Sydney’s Altitude Restaurant, on the 36th floor of the Shangri-La, for the Oceania Cruises Wine Connoisseur Pairing Lunch

Oceania Cruises will debut a series of innovative rum and whisky programs across its fleet in 2023. The experiences will feature an extensive collection of The Macallan’s iconic expressions via The Macallan Diamond Bar Cart, a flight program, chocolate pairings and more, while Brugal 1888 Doblemente Añejado Rum will be featured in a new Tea at Sea mixology class and a wide selection of newly crafted ice cream cocktails.

If you thought the launch last week of Oceania Cruises’ 2024/25 Tropics & Exotics Collection was earlier than normal, you’d be right. The program’s release on 3 November 2022 was four months ahead of the regular release schedule, with Oceania Cruises taking advantage of the strong early booking demand of cruisers keen to secure their future voyages now.
