Oceania reveals $100 million upgrade
OCEANIA Cruises has announced its OceaniaNEXT initiative, a $100 million refurbishment of its four 684-guest Regatta-class ships.
The NCLH-owned company’s Regatta, Insignia, Sirena, and Nautica vessels will all receive major upgrades, with the “reimagining” process to result in 342 brand new designer suites and staterooms, as well as new designs and decor for the ships’ restaurants, lounges and bars.
“OceaniaNEXT will be the most extensive and comprehensive suite of product and guest service enhancements that we have ever undertaken,” said Oceania Cruises chief executive officer Bob Binder.
“We are maintaining the intimate surroundings and personal attention that our guests love, while at the same time setting a new standard of style and elegance for small ship cruising...we can’t wait for our ‘new’ ships to launch,” he added.
The first vessel to undergo the refurbishment will be Insignia, which is scheduled to exhibit her new look on 07 Dec this year.
She will be followed by sister ships Sirena in May 2019, Regatta in Sep 2019 and finishing with Nautica in Jun 2020.
Key details of the renovations include 1,400 new marble bathrooms, 12,000 new sofas and chairs, 8,000 new light fixtures, and 1,368 refreshed suites and staterooms.
