Oceania Cruises has announced that its freshly rejuvenated cruise ship Riviera will sail in Asia for the first time due to “unprecedented guest demand” this 2023-2024 season.
The 1,238-guest ship will explore some of the world’s most breathtaking locales across Asia, putting cultural immersion and culinary excellence at the heart of the travel experience.
Riviera will sail through Arabia, India, Myanmar, Vietnam, China, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and the Philippines.
Her new season brings 25 unique voyages ranging from 10 to 82 days.
Additionally, Regatta and Nautica will expand the line’s offerings in the exotic South Pacific, with more opportunities to explore New Zealand, Australia and French Polynesia.
The new sailings have nearly doubled the seasonal availability with 121 itineraries available for bookings across Riviera, Regatta, Insignia and Nautica, said the cruise line in a statement.
Frank A. Del Rio, President of Oceania Cruises, said:
“Riviera’s re-inspiration has brought our luxurious product to new heights and the expansion of our Exotics 2023-2024 season means even more of our guests have the opportunity to explore one of the most intriguing corners of the globe.”
“The decision to move Riviera to Asia was easy; demand for our Exotics collection is very strong with our well-travelled guests longing to visit remote, wondrous destinations for off-the-beaten-path experiences.
“Having Riviera sail this corner of the world, showcasing her new stem-to-stern, better-than-new interiors, is the most stylish, luxurious and relaxing way to explore multiple fascinating cultures while enjoying The Finest Cuisine at Sea on one voyage.”
Riviera’s Asia cruises will bring guests to the Far East including the Great Wall and Bangkok’s Grand Palace, Ha Long Bay and Kyoto’s temples and gardens.
Guests will also have the chance to explore once-forbidden corners of Asia such as Yangon and more off-the-beaten-path locations like the remote island of Ishigaki in Japan and Hue, a former Imperial city situated on Vietnam’s Perfume River.
Riviera will sail 25 voyages, ranging from 10 to 82 days, to destinations such as Cochin, India; Yangon, Myanmar; Busan, South Korea; and Phuket and Bangkok in Thailand.
