Oceania Cruises’ Regatta Returns to Asia
First visit to the region following the fleet’s dramatic US$100M re-inspiration
Oceania Cruises, the world’s leading culinary- and destination-focused cruise line, returned to Asia with the recently re-inspired Regatta set to spend the summer season in local waters.
Oceania Cruises’ Regatta is better than new, having been recently re-inspired as part of an ambitious OceaniaNEXT initiative. All-new suites and staterooms are complemented by dramatically restyled public spaces replete with chic and classy residential furnishings and accented by an intriguing international art collection.
The 656-guest Regatta arrived in Singapore on 20 November 2022, the final port of call on her Java Sea Explorer voyage from Darwin, Australia to Singapore, which called at enticing Indonesian locales including Kupang West Timor; Komodo; Lombok (Lembar); and Bali (Celukan Bawang), as well as Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Singapore.
“This is the first time we’ve had an Oceania Cruises ship in Singapore since 2019, so we are delighted to welcome Regatta back to the region. She will be in Australia, New Zealand, Asia and South Pacific waters for the entire summer season, with plenty of opportunities for immersive exploration,” said Steve Odell, SVP & Managing Director Asia Pacific, Oceania Cruises.
“Seeing Regatta sailing back into Singapore is a cause for celebration for many Asian guests who enjoy her luxury small ship ambience.”
