New sailings highlight European cities,
holiday islands and lesser-known ports
MIAMI, April 25,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Oceania Cruises, the world's
leading culinary- and destination-focused cruise line, has debuted
an array of new 2025 Mediterranean sailings, ranging from nine to
56 days, to whisk guests to some of the most breathtaking
destinations in Europe. The line's
Marina and Nautica will set sail on enticing voyages
taking in iconic islands in the Mediterranean, Aegean and Adriatic;
well-loved European resort towns and bustling cities, and
lesser-known ports of call.
Cities including Athens,
Barcelona, Istanbul, Rome and Lisbon frame the 16 voyages, allowing the
ships to meander from lively jet-set resort towns such as
Monte Carlo, Cannes, Positano and Sorrento, to hidden gems including Tirana and
Sarande in Albania; Trapani in
Sicily; Calvi and Propriano in
Corsica, and Sibenik in Croatia.
Thanks to Oceania Cruises' extensive set of small-group,
immersive shore excursions, guests can rediscover
previously-visited favorites through a new lens, or discover new
places for the very first time. For example, whilst in Santorini,
guests can choose an adventurous tour of the island's active
volcanoes, or whilst in Montenegro, see a new side of Kotor by
exploring Europe's southernmost
fjord, Boka Bay.
"Oceania Cruises is rightly renowned for its inventive and
captivating itineraries, and our array of 2025 Mediterranean
sailings is the perfect way to spotlight one of the most popular
and exciting cruise regions of the world," stated Frank A. Del Rio, President of Oceania
Cruises. "With shore excursions to inspire everyone, from
active adventurous types to history buffs to foodies, our small,
luxurious ships are the perfect way to discover this majestic
region of the world."
