MIAMI, Sept. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Oceania Cruises,
the world's leading culinary- and destination-focused cruise line
set an all-time single day booking record that surpassed the most
recent record by nearly 60%. While the most recent record was for a
full season of sailings across six ships, this record was driven by
the introduction of one new ship with itineraries for primarily one
half of a year. Vista is slated to debut in April 2023, voyages opened for sale on
September 15th at
9:00 a.m. eastern and by 10:30 a.m., the number of bookings had surpassed
the company's most recent record which was set in March 2021.
"The tremendous wave of bookings we saw on the day we opened
sales for Vista underscores the extraordinary demand for our
acclaimed small ship, destination focused vacations," stated
Bob Binder, President and CEO of
Oceania Cruises.
On September 15, 2021, Oceania
Cruises opened the inaugural season itineraries of its newest ship,
Vista for sale to the general public. A total of 18 voyages
spanning from April 2023 through
November 2023 went on sale.
Itineraries range from 10- to 24-days in length with fares from
$5,299 per guest to $32,199 per guest. Accommodations on the
designer-inspired upper premium ship range from 270 square feet for
the newly introduced solo staterooms to more than 2,400 square feet
for the palatial Owner's Suites which run the full width of the
ship.
"We are seeing exceptional demand from both our loyal Oceania
Club repeaters and new-to-brand guests who are attracted to
Vista's new restaurants and culinary concepts, residentially
styled staterooms and suites, and unique itineraries that present
the destinations from a new perspective," stated Bob Binder, President & CEO of Oceania
Cruises.
All of the bookings for 2023 are new cash bookings with
absolutely no dilution from Future Cruise Credits issued for
cancelled cruises in 2020 or 2021. Virtually all of the top-tier
Owner's, Oceania, and Vista suites along with the newly introduced
solo concierge veranda staterooms are sold out for the inaugural
season. Nearly half of the available inventory of Vista's inaugural
season was sold in one day with 30% of all bookings coming from new
to brand guests. The most in-demand destinations were the British
Isles and Canada, the
Mediterranean, Holy Lands, and Panama Canal.
