Don’t miss this unique opportunity to travel to the roots of the Coppola family for a 10-day cruise around Italy’s “boot” with Winemaker, Toni Bolkan.  Our cruise begins in Venice and ends in glitzy Monte Carlo, with eight different Italian ports-of-call in between.  Included in the itinerary is the port of Bari, which is not often visited by cruise ships, however the Sirena will spend a full day here.  The port of Bari is very near Bernalda – the birthplace and home to Agostino Coppola, grandfather of Francis and where you will also find Palazzo Margherita, a luxurious Italian boutique hotel owned by the Coppola family.

Italy is the quintessential Mediterranean cruise destination, from the impeccable wines, to incredible cuisine, culturally-rich cities and breathtaking scenery.  Reserve your space now, before the cruise is sold out!

The Next Chapter
Oceania cruises is excited to announce their new program OceaniaNEXT, which includes a sweeping array of dramatic enhancements so transformational, they are inspirational. This ambitious initiative will elevate virtually every facet of the Oceania Cruises guest experience to new levels. From thoughtfully crafted new dining experiences and reimagined menus to the dramatic re-inspiration of the icon Regatta-class ships, Oceania is enhancing every aspect of the Oceania Cruises experience.

In May of 2019 SIRENA essentially became a new ship in a re-inspiration process without peer. Every surface of every suite and stateroom is entirely new, while in the public space, a refreshed color palette of soft sea and sky tones will surround a tasteful renewal of fabrics, furnishings and lighting fixtures that exquisitely encompasses the inimitable style and comfort of Oceania Cruises. From the bejeweled new chandeliers in the gracious Grand Dining Room and beckoning Reception Hall to the sleek and calming Canyon Ranch Spa, SIRENA celebrates a rejuvenation so sweeping, you will find it positively unimaginable to resist.

Sirena offers even more ways to savor “The Finest Cuisine at Sea”. Tuscan Steak – a specialty restaurant, serves Italian favorites, succulent steaks and fresh seafood inspired by Toscana and Polo Grill. The Grand Dining Room offers a surprise transformation into Jacques Bistro during lunch, which serves classic French fare. Also featuring the beloved restaurant Red Ginger, enjoy bold Asian cuisine in a fresh new way.

With Sirena, Oceania Cruises’ diverse and destination-rich itineraries continues to grow, appealing to both seasoned world travelers and passionate cruisers. Her decks are resplendent in the finest teak, custom stone and tile work. Sirena offers every luxury you may expect on board one of their mid-sized ships. She features a world-class fitness center and spa, eight lounges and bars, a casino and 342 lavish suites and luxurious staterooms, nearly 70% of which feature private verandas. With just 684 guests to pamper, their 400 professionally trained European staff ensure you will wait for nothing.

Suites & Staterooms
Lighter, brighter and even more spacious, every suite and stateroom on board positively glows from a wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling re-inspiration. Custom crafted furnishings, exotic stone and polished wood finishes, designer accessories and an air of elegance and sophistication is the hallmarks for Oceania’s completely transformed guest accommodations. Every square inch is new, enhanced by nuanced shades of the sea and sky, creating a harmonious celebration of style and comfort.

Luxurious New Bathrooms
Every suite and stateroom features a gloriously metamorphosed bathroom. Every fixture and surface is new, with designer fixtures, perfect lighting, lavish vanities and sleek glass shower enclosures gently vying for your attention. Penthouse, Vista and Owner’s Suite bathrooms feature even more space and are true luxury retreats bejeweled with Carrara marble, polished granite and sleep onyx.
