A Taste of Cruising Close to Home

A TASTE OF CRUISING CLOSE TO HOME

Exceptional cuisine, beautiful destinations and the ease of exploring closer to home – discover a different side of cruising with Oceania Cruises.

In Episode 5 of Travel Talk with Chirn Park Travel, we are joined by James Sitters from Oceania Cruises to talk all things cruising, from exploring Australia and New Zealand to one of the great pleasures of travelling at sea – the food.

Sometimes an extraordinary holiday is closer than you think. With cruise itineraries exploring Australia, New Zealand and our surrounding region, travellers can experience spectacular coastlines, fascinating cities and beautiful destinations without necessarily having to travel to the other side of the world to begin their holiday.

We chat with James about the appeal of these “close to home” sailings and why cruising can offer such an enjoyable way to rediscover destinations in our own backyard.

Of course, we couldn’t talk about Oceania Cruises without talking about food.

Cuisine is at the heart of the Oceania Cruises experience, with a philosophy centred around creating memorable dining experiences at sea. From beautifully prepared dishes and speciality restaurants to fresh ingredients and menus inspired by destinations around the world, dining becomes an important part of the journey rather than simply something that happens between ports.

We also take a broader look at the cruise industry and how cruising continues to evolve. With different ships, destinations and styles of cruising available, finding the right cruise is less about choosing a ship from a brochure and more about matching the experience to the traveller.

Whether you are considering your first cruise, looking for a new way to explore Australia and New Zealand, or simply believe that great food is an essential ingredient of a great holiday, there is plenty to enjoy in this episode.

Join us and James as we talk cruising close to home, life at sea and why sometimes the most memorable journeys are also the most delicious.
