Dear Fellow Cruiser,
A cruise line I always return to is Oceania Cruises.
I’ve been lucky enough to sail on every single Oceania ship in the fleet over the years and every time it gets better and better. This time last year, in fact, I was sailing the Panama Canal aboard Oceania Vista with a group of our Founders members. It was an incredible trip and I can’t wait to set foot on the brand-new Oceania Sonata when she makes her grand debut in August 2027.
I recently spoke with Oceania’s UK Sales Director Louise Craddock about Sonata and she shared some exciting details about the new ship—we’re talking all-balcony staterooms, more suites, the new Opus Lounge and two new restaurants, Nikkei Kitchen and La Table. I’ve always been the biggest fan of Oceania’s culinary offerings (special mention to the miso-glazed sea bass!) so this is truly something I’m looking forward to. Oceania also recently announced that they are officially going adults-only. This really does change the game for Oceania in terms of luxury cruising, promising a more exclusive onboard feel moving forward.
This is all fantastic news, but the real reason I wanted to share this edition of Founders with you is that Oceania Cruises currently has up to 50% off almost 2,000 sailings! These sailings include all speciality dining, onboard gratuities, unlimited WiFi and a choice of either complimentary wine and beer or shore excursion credit. Plus, a number of sailings also include free business flights. You really can’t miss this!
Have a quick browse of some of my personal favourites from this collection and get in touch with the team on 0161 516 7304 to find out about more Oceania voyages.
Enjoy!
All the best,
James Cole CEO and Founder Panache Cruises
