Oceania Cruises Accelerates Debut of New Ship Vista

Exceptional Demand Drives Brand To Introduce Additional Inaugural Voyage

Oceania Cruises, the world’s leading culinary- and destination-focused cruise line, announced that it will accelerate the debut of its new ship Vista by introducing a new “Founder’s Cruise” departing from Rome on 13 May 2023, and sailing to Venice. Vista had been scheduled to debut on 20 May 2023, but unprecedented demand for the ship’s inaugural season has now driven the maiden voyage forward by a week.

“Vista has been driving exceptional demand from the moment we first revealed her inaugural voyages. With all of her maiden season voyages sold out or on waitlist status, we are introducing an additional voyage to satisfy that exceptional demand,” stated Howard Sherman, President and CEO of Oceania Cruises.

The new “Founder’s Cruise” will be hosted by Oceania Cruises’ Founder Frank J. Del Rio in celebration of the new ship and to commemorate the brand’s 20th anniversary. Sailing from Rome, travellers will experience enthralling explorations of the most illustrious and alluring destinations in Italy, Greece, and Croatia, punctuated by exclusive celebrations, inaugural cocktail receptions, and other special events. Guests joining this inaugural voyage will be among the very first to experience Vista and her stunning interiors, harmonious public spaces, imaginative new dining and mixology concepts, and new standards for residential-style luxury, including the most spacious standard staterooms at sea.
