Allure of New Ship Sirena Propels Oceania Cruises to Record Bookings Day
MIAMI, Fla. (March 9, 2015) – The highly anticipated inaugural season for Sirena, Oceania Cruises’ new 684-passenger ship scheduled to enter service April 27, 2016, fueled a single-day bookings record when released last Wednesday. The first voyages for Sirena, coupled with the release of Oceania Cruises’ summer and fall 2016 itinerary collection featuring 90 new itineraries, 50 of which are extended journeys, and 20 intriguing ports not previously visited by the line led to the single-day bookings record.
“With the addition of Sirena to the Oceania Cruises fleet we can expand the realm of possibilities and stretch our imagination when it comes to itinerary planning, providing our guests even more options,” said Jason Montague president and chief operating officer for Oceania Cruises. “A mix of longer cruises and a diverse collection of itineraries that feature exotic, sought-after global destinations for the 2016 summer and fall season have clearly resonated with our guests.”
In April 2016, Sirena will join the line’s trio of award-winning sister ships Insignia, Regatta and Nautica and offer an entirely new lineup of 10- to 14-day Mediterranean voyages, artfully blended with a mix of classic and new destinations. Before entering service, Sirena will undergo an extensive bow-to-stern refurbishment that will give the ship the same stunning elegant style Oceania Cruises guests love about the existing fleet. Guests sailing on Sirena will be able to enjoy renowned specialty dining restaurants Toscana and Polo Grill, along with more recent additions to the fleet such as Baristas and the cook-to-order grill Terrace Café.
The six ship fleet provides Oceania Cruises even greater flexibility to create an unprecedented number of new itineraries for the upcoming season, offering a perfect fusion of iconic and off-the-beaten-path destinations. These new itineraries explore all corners of the world and capture the imagination of the most seasoned traveler. Oceania Cruises also introduced seven new Grand Voyages, ranging from a 90-night round-trip journey from Miami to a 40-night Vancouver to Montreal sailing.
