Oceania and Regent plan their 2021 and 2022 cruise seasons – Travel Weekly

Sister brands Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas released restart details, setting fall and winter sailings on the majority of their fleets.

Norwegian Cruise Line, the largest of the Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings brands, also detailed its fall resumption plans today.

In total, the three brands laid out plans for the return of fifteen additional ships.

"We continue to see incredible pent-up demand for future cruise vacations, and as regions across the globe continue to reopen for travel and tourism, we are excited to get back to what we do best and deliver exceptional vacation experiences for our guests to once again explore the world," said Frank Del Rio, CEO of the parent company.

Regent Seven Seas Cruises said all five of its ships would be back in service by next February. The Seven Seas Splendor is already slated to return to service in September. As much as possible, Regent said, it has tried to preserve its previously published schedules.

The Seven Seas Explorer will restart Oct. 16 from Venice before crossing to Miami for the winter. The Seven Seas Mariner will resume its published scheduled on Dec. 18, cruising from Miami to San Francisco where it will begin its World Cruise on Jan. 5. The Seven Seas Navigator will begin Jan. 6 from Miami on published southern Caribbean sailings. The Seven Seas Voyager will return with five new Mediterranean voyages, the first from Barcelona on Feb. 15, before resuming its published 2022 summer season in the Mediterranean and Northern Europe on April 15.

Oceania will resume service on three ships this fall, with the Riviera, Insignia and Sirena launching between October and January.

The Riviera will resume its previously published cruises from Istanbul on Oct. 18 with Mediterranean sailings, prior to a winter of Caribbean cruises from Miami. The Insignia will begin Dec. 21 with a Panama Canal cruise from Miami prior to embarking on a sold-out, 180-day world cruise from Los Angeles to New York. The Sirena will commence service on Jan. 22 with a cruise from Miami to Panama City, Panama.

Oceania's Marina has already been scheduled to resume sailing from Copenhagen on August 29. The line said that phased restart dates for its Regatta and Nautica ships will be announced later.

All passengers on Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings brands, until further notice, must be vaccinated.
