| Oceania festive season cruises

TRAVELLERS are being invited to set sail on a festive voyage with Oceania Cruises, with the company today detailing its 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 holiday season sailings.

More than 40 cruises will depart from Sydney, Miami, Lima, Singapore, Abu Dhabi, and Dubai during the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 holiday seasons.

The festivities will see Oceania’s ships festooned with enchanting seasonal decorations, glittering lights, festive garlands, elegantly dressed trees, and gingerbread villages, and more.

Joyful entertainment includes a reading of The Night Before Christmas on Christmas Eve, visits from Santa Claus and his helpers, carol singing, glistening evening shows on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, a beautiful display for the lighting of the menorah, and special dedicated services on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Travellers can also ring in the new year in style with ship-wide entertainment, including countdown parties with a special Champagne toast to mark the turning of the calendar.

Meanwhile a decadent gala brunch on New Year’s Day will feature lavish desserts ranging from tarts & tortes to cheesecakes, macarons, and light and fluffy profiteroles.

This year cruisers will revel in the myriad of delights of the eastern states with the ‘Awe of Australia’ 14-day voyage from Sydney to Bali aboard Regatta.

Highlights will include renowned vineyards, galleries, the Gold Coast, the Great Barrier Reef and much more.

Departing 21 Dec, cruisers will take in both Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve aboard Regatta.

Almost 12 months to the day, the ship will return for the ‘Wonders of Australia’ cruise, which travels from Sydney to Perth over 20 days.

Cruisers will experience Northern Australia, enjoying the Great Barrier Reef, Aboriginal culture, and the country’s frontier spirit, and will enjoy overnight stays in Bali and Perth.
