Oceania Cruises has begun a multi-million dollar upgrade to its three-ship fleet.
The cruiseline says this will be “the most significant” upgrade to the ships, Regatta, Nautica and Insignia, in its history and will focus on comfort, cuisine and service. It calls the upgrade its Pillars of Distinction programme.
The operator will introduce new “one of a kind” shore excursions, healthy life-style menus, new stateroom décor including chamomile-infused beds and lifestyle classes and workshops.
Nautica is already undergoing its revamp while Insignia will get the make-over in November when it is in dry dock. Regatta’s turn comes next January.
Oceania’s two new ships which are under construction in Italy, the Marina and the Riviera, will also echo the new standards of the existing ships once upgraded.
The line’s founder and chairman/CEO of parent company Prestige Cruise Holdings Frank Del Rio said: “Oceania Cruises has set new industry standards since we launched the line nearly eight years ago. With our new Pillars of Distinction initiative we have raised the bar in upper-premium cruising to ensure that the Oceania Cruises experience remains unmatched."
