A voyage on Oceania Cruises’ Regatta is an exceptional experience that takes cruising to new heights. Look forward to unparalleled service and an in-depth travel adventure. Whether onboard or ashore, every detail is attended to; your only task is to enjoy each sublime moment. Depart Los Angeles harbor on Feb. 9, 2010, and discover Mexico, Costa Rica, Colombia, the Panama Canal, and Key West while sailing aboard the beautifully-appointed Regatta. Sail along Mexico’s historic west coast stopping in Cabo San Lucas, Acapulco, Huatulco, and Puerto Chiapas before cruising to tropical Puntarenas in Costa Rica, lush with rainforests. Pass through the Panama Canal to charming Cartagena, Colombia, and continue through the Caribbean to vibrant Key West, Florida, home of the literary legend Ernest Hemingway. This is a luxurious, upscale experience that redefines living on the water. The streamlined size of this ship allows for a feeling of elegant intimacy, and with only 684 passengers and a crew of 400, all your wants and needs will be catered to. Choose from four fabulous restaurants and enjoy the best cuisine at sea with menus designed by world-renowned master chef, Jacques Pépin. Your stateroom will be an oasis of comfort, featuring Oceania Cruises’ exclusive Tranquility BedSM to guarantee a restful night. Make yourself at home in these exquisitely appointed rooms; a vast majority with lovely teak verandas. Every amenity you could dream of awaits you, and when you go ashore you’ll be well equipped with knowledge from excursion experts, guest lecturers and seminars. Regatta offers the perfect blend of relaxation and discovery. This 2010 cruise has already elicited unprecedented excitement and interest, so we encourage you to sign up now for your choice of stateroom selection and the incredible offer of FREE AIRFARE.
