Oceania Cruises Has Best Booking Day in Company History
Oceania Cruises has announced that the opening for sale of its exotic 2022-2023 itineraries resulted in the most bookings in a single day in the line’s history.
The company reports that the top-selling destinations were Asia, Africa, and South America. The single best-selling voyage was the 35-night Australia circumnavigation cruise that will take place over Christmas and New Year’s.
This booking record comes just weeks after the line sold out its six month-long world cruise on January 27 — the first day it opened for sale.

Celestyal Cruises to Resume Sailings in May
Greece-based line Celestyal Cruises has announced that it will resume sailings from Athens in May.
The start of the season had previously been planned for April, but the new date is in sync with a recently-announced roadmap to open Greece for tourism this year.
Despite the line’s acquisition of Costa neoRomantica, which it renamed Celestyal Experience, the line will instead begin its resumption to service aboard a smaller ship called Celestyal Crystal.
