Oceania Cruises' Ship Marina Sailed into Sydney Harbour Today

Marina, Oceania Cruises' award-winning cruise ship, has sailed into Sydney Harbour for the very first time today after making her debut in ports Melbourne and Hobart.   Marina will be docked at Circular Quay until the 15th of March when she sets sail on her next voyage "Jewels of the Pacific" 25-nights to French Polynesia via New Zealand and the South Pacific.  The ship that redefined the upper-premium cruise market brings a new level of luxury cruising to Australia with her world-class cuisine and unparalleled service.

Elegant yet contemporary in style, Marina exclusively features the first hands-on cooking school at sea, Bon Appétit Culinary Center; the first namesake restaurant at sea of Master Chef Jacques Pépin; the first Ralph Lauren Home furnished Owner's Suites and luxurious accommodations by Dakota Jackson; the first Wine Spectator wine program; and the first Lalique grand stairway.

Carrying 1250 guests, Marina boasts 10 gourmet dining venues, a selection of bars and lounges, a full-service Canyon Ranch SpaClub and fitness centre, swimming pool and hot tubs.

Oceania Cruises sails to Australia with several prestigious awards recently received at the 2013 Cruise Critic Cruisers' Choice Awards in the U.S. and the U.K.  Marina was honoured with three top awards in the U.S. for Best Dining, Best Public Rooms and Best Cabins and won Best for Fitness in the U.K.
