Oceania Sterling Brochure

By guest blogger Steve Newman

Oceania Cruises have introduced many firsts in their increasingly impressive four-year history, and now comes another one in the shape of their first ever UK-priced brochure for the new winter 2011/12 programme (including sterling pricing also now online at http://www.oceaniacruises.co.uk/).

For the first time, British guests can take advantage of these worldwide, luxury cruises in a currency other than the $US, and our celebratory picture shows Oceania's UK sales manager Bernard Carter, Lynn Burt of The Cruise Line and Sheryl Wilkinson from Our Holiday Centre.

Sterling prices will also be in all Oceania brochures featuring cruises departing from January 1, 2011. The winter 2011/12 brochures were delivered to travel agents throughout September, signifying a new level of commitment from Oceania Cruises to its British guests.

Oceania Cruises offers luxury cruising on board three chic, mid-sized ships, Regatta, Insignia and Nautica, to be joined by the brand new Marina in February 2011 and Riviera in April 2012. The line focuses on comfort, cuisine and service, with a strong emphasis on offering the finest dining on the sea.

For more information, visit http://www.oceaniacruises.co.uk/

Want to learn more about Oceania Cruises and cruising in general? Then consider going to the fabulous Daily Telegraph Cruise Show. Venues are in Birmingham's NEC in October (16-17) and London's Olympia (March 26-27, 2011)in March.

A Spirited Adventure off the West African Coast.

By guest blogger Steve Newman

If you’re one of those who feels they don’t want to go to the bigger companies for a cruise of a lifetime, then take a look at Spirit of Adventure, which has just one small ship – MV Spirit of Adventure (above). Due to her small size, it means the ship can get in to exciting off-the-beaten track ports that the larger cruise ships can’t reach.

Therefore, the company’s itineraries always include fascinating destinations. For example, in February next year Spirit will set out from Cape Town on a 17-day cruise calling at such small ports as Luderitz and Walvis Bay in Namibia and Douala in Cameroon. Spirit of Adventure voyages include excursions in the price as well, so it’s ideal for those who want to get off and explore.

The ship has a capacity of 350 and a crew of 170 and novel features include films being shown in the open air on Sun Deck (weather permitting). The light and airy Verandah restuarant provides informal dining with buffet meals and the opportunity to dine al fresco when the weather is fine.

There is one sitting in the nautically themed dining room and the open dining policy allows you to sit where you like.

All in all, the ship will visit seven countries along the lesser-known west coast of Africa. You will be able to enjoy stunning landscapes and wildlife-watching trips and get closer to the cultural traditions as you discover the villages and bustling cities of this enigmatic region.

Highlights include looking out for the dolphins and seals of Walvis Bay and calls to lesser-visited ports, including Luanda in Angola and Cotonou in Benin

Price includes return scheduled flights, all gratuities on board, excursions and travel to and from your UK departure points.

Spirit of Adventure will also be exhibiting at the Cruise Show in Birmingham NEC in October.
