Rare pinotlover Posted September 6, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Got another fancy and pretty package in the mail today. One for the 2025 ATW along with the 2025 Grand Voyages. One of the most unusual GVs is a combo of doing the annual Circumnavigation of Australia on the Regatta, then putting one a plane to S.A. to join up with the Marina for one of its cruises there. Lots of pretty pictures with some aggressive pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have only seen the online promo, not the price. That is the only cruise they don’t give detailed prices on. Only info is: Veranda-$47,499 Concierge-$49,899 Penthouse-$63,899 74 day cruise. Another interesting fact is that the opening date for sales for either the ATW or the GVs is never mentioned anywhere in either brochure. Only told to call Oceania or your TA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jancruz1 Thanks Jan. I was able to download it to iBooks as a PDF so I’m good. Question for you though…do the segments of grand voyages go on sale at the same time as the whole voyage or do they come out later like the world cruise? Thanks.

The first round of reintroduced Grand Voyages (three of them for late 2022-23) were announced at the same time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIMONEY Posted September 8, 2022 #11 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Looking ahead I noticed Regatta finishes grand voyage August 1 2025 What does this mean for Alaska voyages for the the year, anyone know or have any insight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted September 8, 2022 #12 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Maybe another ship will take her place in Alaska ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mauibabes Posted September 8, 2022 #13 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Interesting 🤔, here is a thought. Maybe in 2025 there could/would be another Vista Class ship coming on line and that could make for an option to add Marina or Riviera to the Alaska season? That would virtually double the passenger volume of the 2025 Alaska season. I would love to be on one of them in Alaska and that market has been good for Oceania in the past as it sells well. I guess we just get to watch and sea what comes. Yes, not a typo, just a play on words. Mauibabes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mauibabes When the second A Class ship comes online, Marina really needs to focus on the entire Pacific Rim and concentrate on a mix of long and short segments that can be built into custom cruises by passengers. Beyond a selfish desire, I would like to see her home base in San Francisco because she be able to make the shorter seasonal runs as far north to Alaska and as far south to the Mexican Riviera while, along with Sydney, enjoying the ideal start/end points of TransPacific itineraries.

Rare mauibabes Posted September 8, 2022 #15 Share Posted September 8, 2022 That could be interesting. Since it was never really an Oceania option, we have not given much thought to ship, weather, seasons and how they all come together to allow for a West Coast/South Pacific focus. We had always been told there was not the proper mix of itineraries and numbers of guests to make it all work, even on the smaller R size ships. A short West Coast drive or flight works for us and our friends, that is for sure. We did a Cali Coast trip with a bunch of friends in 2019 that we dubbed, A Trip to Nowhere, and it was great fun so we fully understand the Floridians and their fixation with the Caribbean cruises. My guess would be such O and Vista Class itineraries are already planned/developed and in the finalization process. 🛳🤞🙏👍 Mauibabes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pinotlover Posted September 8, 2022 Author #16 Share Posted September 8, 2022 IMO, it would be foolish to gamble an entire Alaska cruise season on the timely delivery of a new A Class ship. When is the Vista going to come on line for sure? Nobody knows! I believe that the Alaskan cruises are well enough subscribed that an existing ship will be assigned to ensure those sailing are completed. Maybe a newer A ship on year 2, not upon a hopeful completion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PaulMCO Posted September 8, 2022 #17 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Bigger ships mean less access to ports. My bet is they use Sirena as she is Caribbean bound for early 2025. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vista and Riviera/Marina ships are bigger than the R Class, but so much smaller than many of the other cruise lines going to Alaska. I Understand that there are some limitations on ships based upon environmental certifications, which the older R Class ships may not fully reach. Expect the new Allura Class ships (Vista, etc.) should certainly pass and be able to do Alaska. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMHuntFerry Posted September 9, 2022 #19 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Riviera will be in Singapore on March 10, 2025 after a Grand Voyage. Maybe Tahiti will be next, then California, then Alaska? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
