Marina put on a display and sailed into Sydney Harbour as stunning as ever! Yesterday. Oceania’s Marina is giving local travel agents and their prospective clients the opportunity to enjoy fine dining at its best. They all enjoyed a much personalised tour by one of the professional Oceania Cruises sales managers on board during a one off stay in Sydney.

Marina is very special she feels like a very luxurious hotel which is modelled on a European 5 star hotel. Marina has only 1,250 guests with 800 staff which gives it a 1.567 to 1 staff to guest ratio which is quite impressive.

On our personalised tour throughout the ship you could see the rich cherry woods and some of the custom made furnishings that are all over the ship. Marina has the feel of a country club with that relaxed casual atmosphere with all the charm of personal service.

2015 marks the third time that Oceania’s Marina has come to Australian shores and the Australian locals have certainly embraced her. Australia remains the largest sourced market for Oceania Cruises outside of North America, Mr Owens told Cruise The Seas Travel And Media, Cruising Australia.
