Oceania Cruises will offer theme cruises for the first time ever on selected 2012 itineraries aboard the Regatta, Nautica, Marina and the soon-to-be-launched Riviera.

The new Signature Sailings will feature across 10 European voyages and offer food, wine, music, and health and wellbeing themes. Guests will enjoy seminars, hands-on cooking classes, concerts, wine tastings and more. Depending on the voyage, special guests will also join passengers including Oceania executive culinary director and French chef, Jacques Pepin, jazz musicians, and wine experts.

The release of Signature Sailings is evidence that Oceania is hot-on the cruising trends, as theme itineraries become increasingly popular with cruise goers.

Oceania Cruises is delighted to introduce theme cruises for 2012, and believes that while groups that share the same interests have regularly sailed with Oceania in the past, their new Signature Sailings create a special opportunity for guests to experience the cruise in the company of fellow travellers who share their passion for similar themes.
