New Ports, More Destinations, Fewer Sea Days


As the industry leader in destination cruising, Oceania Cruises has elevated
the cruise experience to new heights with more than 80 overnight port stays
in the greatest destinations in Europe such as Athens, Dubrovnik, Istanbul,
Sorrento, St. Petersburg, Stockholm and Venice.




In addition to such treasured favorites as Barcelona, Portofino, Athens,
Monte Carlo, Rome and Provence, to name but a few, we have added an
astounding and eclectic array of new ports. Loyal repeat guests and
first-time guests alike will be awe struck by the ancient beauty of Cinque
Terre, which is easily accessible from the Ligurian port of La Spezia. The
charming Albanian seaside port of Sarande beckons with its story-book charm
as do the dramatic Roman ruins of Butrinti, a UNESCO World Heritage site on
the Albanian coast. Other new and noteworthy ports include Mitilini, on the
Greek isle of Lesbos; historic Cagliari, on the Italian isle of Sardinia;
the yachtsman's haven of Portoferraio on Italy's stunningly beautiful isle
of Elba and captivating Mahon, the jewel of Spain's Balearic Islands.




2007 European Collection voyages range from 10 to 16 days in length and
feature an overabundance of port time and a minimum number of sea days. On
