Two new taster cruises from Oceania Cruises

Oceania Cruises is offering two new taster cruises on board the company’s brand new mid-sized, luxury cruise ship, Riviera.

The six night sailings, which depart on 3rd and 9th November 2012, cost from £1026 per person, including a $300 shipboard credit per stateroom, free return UK flights, all meals, soft drinks and bottled water.  In addition, the first 20 bookings made will receive a complimentary upgrade from a Veranda stateroom to a Concierge Level Veranda, which includes complimentarychampagne on arrival and free use of theexclusive onboard Concierge Lounge.

By offering the two new shorter sailings, the company is providing first time cruisers and who haven’t experienced the Oceania Cruises’ fleet, the opportunity to sample the company’s legendary cuisine, to take a cookery lesson in the only hand-on cookery school at sea, to enjoy complimentary crafts and digital photography courses in the `Artist’s Loft’, food and wine pairing and tastings in `La Reserve’ wine tasting centre or the opportunity to relax in the Canyon Ranch Spa.

The first of the taster cruises embarks on 3rd November with an overnight onboard in Venice and calls into Dubrovnik, Corfu, Messina, Sorrento and Capri before arriving into Civitavecchia on 9th November. The second sector embarks in Civitavecchia on 9th November and calls into Livorno for Florence & Pisa, Monte Carlo, Marseille and Barcelona, where guests disembark on 15th November after a full day and overnight in the city.

Oceania Cruises’ MD for UK and Europe, Bernard Carter, said “This is an excellent opportunity to experience a brand new, luxury cruise ship, without committing the time and cost of being on board for a long duration. The offer could appeal equally to a first time cruiser, or to a guest who hasn’t cruised with Oceania before but wants to try our legendary dining, or even to our many repeat guests who now have the opportunity to squeeze in another sailing before the end of the year”.
