Jacques Pépin - the star of Marina's June 2 epicurean-inspired voyage
Oceania Cruises scheduled two special sailings for spring 2017: the annual Jacques Pépin Cruise, which will explore Northern Europe, and the 14th Oceania Club Reunion Cruise, set for the Mediterranean.

Chef Pépin will sail aboard Marina, departing London on June 2 for a 10-day cruise to Copenhagen. The epicurean-inspired voyage will be hosted by the legendary master chef who has served as Oceania Cruises' executive culinary director since the line's inception.

The cruise will feature special menus, lectures and culinary demonstrations, among other activities. The 'Regal Routes' itinerary includes 10 ports in the UK, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Norway, Sweden and Denmark.

Riviera will host the 14th Oceania Club Reunion Cruise, set to sail round-trip from Piraeus (Athens) on April 19. Highlights of the 10-day voyage are exclusive cocktail receptions, member-only dinners, wine-pairing events and special shore excursions.

The cruise is open to all travelers but offers premium amenities for Oceania Club members. The 'Sacred Sanctuaries' itinerary includes seven ports of call in Greece, Israel and Cyprus.

Both cruises provide the opportunity to interact on a very personal level with team members and executives as well as participate in behind-the-scenes experiences that are not typically available, said Jason Montague, president and chief operating officer, Oceania Cruises.
