1. Can you tell us about the OceaniaNEXT initiative and what it means for the brand"
Our $100 million OceaniaNEXT initiative is a sweeping array of dramatic enhancements designed to elevate every facet of the guest experience; from thoughtfully-crafted new dining experiences and reimagined menus, to the re-inspiration of our six luxurious and intimate ships. The ships are being completely transformed ? with brand new designer suites and staterooms and stunning new décor in the restaurants, lounges and bars ? which will result in ?better-than-new? ships.
On top of this, we have announced we are preparing to take delivery of two new Allura-class ships in 2022 and 2025. This new class of ship will represent an evolution of the Oceania Cruises? experience with all the elements our guests treasure: a warm, intimate, residential style, the most spacious standard staterooms afloat, amazing suites, and of course, excellent cuisine.
