Oceania Cruises Begins Construction of Oceania Marina

Monday August 25, 2008
Oceania Cruises has commenced construction of its first Oceania-class ship, the "Marina."
Oceania Marina
Oceania entertained the cruise lines' most loyal passengers at a steel-cutting ceremony in Genoa, Italy earlier this month. After the ceremony, Oceania Club members, dignitaries from Fincantieri Shipyards and members of the media toured the builder’s mock-ups of the Veranda Staterooms and Penthouse Suites. These accommodations are about 50% larger than those on Oceania's Regatta-Class ships.

Veranda Staterooms, at 312 square feet, will incorporate larger sitting areas, marble-clad bathrooms with separate tub and shower, copious closet space and extra-large private verandas for relaxation.

The Penthouse Suites will be 429 square feet and feature a large living area, space for in-suite dining, separate sleeping area, extra-large bathrooms, walk-in closets and a host of other amenities.
