The first guests board Marina.
Oceania Cruises welcomed guests aboard one of its ships for the first time in 524 days.
Marina is the first of Oceania Cruises’ ships to resume sailing on Monday and is also the very first cruise ship to sail from the port of Copenhagen since 2019.
“Today is one of those days we will all remember for a lifetime as we reunite with our shipboard families and our guests to start exploring the world once again,” said Bob Binder, president and CEO of Oceania Cruises, who greeted the first guests to board the Marina and cut a ceremonial red ribbon.
Marina’s first voyage sails from Copenhagen to ports in Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Finland prior to concluding in Stockholm. Marina will spend the remainder of the summer and autumn cruising around Western Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Greek Isles prior to setting sail for Miami where she will arrive on Dec. 1.
Marina is the first ship to resume sailing for Oceania Cruises and will quickly be followed by Riviera, which resumes sailing in the Greek Isles on Oct. 18, 2021, and Insignia from Miami on Dec. 21, 2021, to kick off the six-month-long “Around the World in 180 Days” voyage.
Sirena resumes sailing in the Caribbean on Jan. 21, 2022, and Regatta will start sailing on Feb. 5, 2022, in Polynesia followed by Nautica in the Mediterranean on April 1, 2022.
All Oceania Cruises voyages are operating with a requirement that 100% of guests and crew are vaccinated.
