Due to the unprecedented demand for cruise travel, Oceania Cruises will launch its anticipated new Allura Class ship earlier than expected. The brand announced a “Founder’s Cruise” departing Rome on May 13th, 2023, and sailing to Venice. The original plan was to launch a week later on May 20th, but according to CEO Howard Sherman, the demand for Oceania Vista is so high all of her inaugural sailings were all but sold out, the addition of an itinerary gives guests another chance to experience the inaugural season.
The guest of honor on the “Founder’s Cruise” will be none other than Frank Del Rio, the founder of Oceania Cruises. The cruise is to celebrate the Oceania Vista and the brand’s 20th Anniversary.
The Founder’s Cruise is a 7-day itinerary departing May 13th, 2023, and returning May 20th, 2023. Please see the schedule below:
- Rome, Italy
- Sorrento/Capri, Italy
- Messina, Italy
