The new sailings have nearly doubled Oceania Cruises' seasonal capacity in the Asia-Pacific region with 121 itineraries available across Riviera, Regatta, Insignia and Nautica.
Oceania Cruises said Riviera's addition comes after a year of luxury cruise sales exceeding expectations, breaking numerous records.
The 1,238-passenger ship is scheduled to sail in Arabia, India, Myanmar, Vietnam, China, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and the Philippines on 25 voyages of 10 to 82 days.
Plus, more South Pacific choices
Additionally, Regatta and Nautica will greatly expand the line's South Pacific offerings, with more opportunities to explore destinations like New Zealand, Australia and French Polynesia than ever before.
Their more than 20 voyages range from 10 to 41 days, including a return to Australia and New Zealand for Regatta, and Nautica sailing through Arabia, India and Southeast Asia.
President Frank A. Del Rio said demand for Oceania Cruises' 'Exotics' collection is 'very strong,' with well-traveled clientele longing to visit remote destinations, and Riviera, with its new stem-to-stern interiors ,will provide a 'stylish, luxurious and relaxing' way to go.
