River Cruise Newsletter

Dear Vacations To Go Customer,

The stylish ships of Oceania Cruises sail itineraries around the globe, visiting must-see destinations as well as off-the-beaten-path villages and secluded bays. Today, I'm pleased to tell our river cruise newsletter subscribers about a fantastic deal on these oceangoing vacations.

Oceania is offering our customers exclusive pricing on select sailings, for discounts of up to 83%. Also receive exclusive shipboard credits of up to $800 per cabin on applicable departures. Shipboard credits are as good as cash on the ship and can be used toward onboard purchases not covered in the cruise fare, like shore excursions and spa treatments. Book by May 4. Click here for departures and rates.

Choose a cruise of Alaska's Inside Passage that visits old gold rush towns and spectacular fjords and glaciers, or a Mediterranean sailing to gems like Barcelona, Portofino and Monte Carlo. Baltic voyages take in Scandinavian capitals such as Helsinki and Stockholm.

Plan now for a Caribbean getaway this fall or winter and escape to the beaches of St. Lucia, St. Barts and Harvest Caye in Belize. Discover a destination that's newly opened to American cruise visitors, Cuba, on sailings from Miami.

Oceania often schedules late evening stays in port, as well as overnights in cities like Shanghai, Havana, Bordeaux and Livorno, a port for Florence and other Tuscan destinations.

Four ships carry 684 guests each, while the newer Marina and Riviera accommodate up to 1,258 passengers. While cruising, travelers are pampered in an elegant, country club ambience.

Master chef Jacques Pepin serves as the line's executive culinary director, overseeing menus for a variety of restaurants. Savor Tuscan fare at Toscana, sit down to a multicourse meal in the Grand Dining Room or enjoy steaks in the Polo Grill. The Marina and Riviera also serve the French country cuisine of Pepin at a restaurant called Jacques, the first to bear his name on land or sea.

Guests can sharpen their cooking skills at the Culinary Center aboard Marina and Riviera in a variety of classes. Learn to make crepes, master the art of preparing fish or re-create dishes from Greece, Spain or Scandinavia.

The Canyon Ranch SpaClub offers an array of pampering treatments and complimentary wellness classes, from sunrise stretching and indoor cycling to boot camp. Guest lecturers -- such as historians, wine experts and former diplomats -- share their insights and experiences. Oceania's unique shore excursions, including a collection of Culinary Discovery Tours, delve into the culture and history of the sailing region.
