Oceania Cruises sails into a positive 2009

Oceania Cruises hosted some 30 American Express Platinum and Centurion agents to a ‘Tapas on the Terrace’ themed pre-Christmas get together in Sydney earlier this week.

Cruising continues to boom for the liner according to National Sales Manager, Craig Owens, who said the company has recorded its 17th consecutive year-on-year growth, with Australia remarkably the second largest market outside of the USA.

“We are definitely the best value five star product out there,” Oceania’s BDM, NSW/ACT Faye Larratte said.

“It is a 5 star floating hotel and with a 69 per cent repeat base, we help grow your cruise sales,” she said.

Ms Larratte said some points of difference between Oceania Cruises and other lines is their award-winning cuisine, the country club ambiance and the private cabanas that can be rented out for special occasions with personalized service.

Oceania Cruises is also the only cruiseline in Australia that does not target clients directly, and only accepts bookings by the trade.
