Oceania Cruises, the culinary and destination focused line, has revealed the  itineraries for Sirena, sailing to the Holy Lands of Egypt, Israel Turkey, the Arabian Peninsula, India, Myanmar, and Indonesia.

The collection comprises nine sailings of 10 to 24-days beginning in November 2020 and culminating in April 2021. They will be offered on the newly refurbished Sirena, the first of six ships refitted in the OceaniaNEXT style of Insignia, completed just this month.

The 684-guest Sirena was originally slated to sail to Cuba towards the end of the year but will now extend her 2020 European season and spend the 2020-2021 European winter/spring season sailing this new collection.

“We’ve thoughtfully crafted these immersive and off-the-beaten-path explorations to some of the hardest to reach destinations in the world to satiate our guests’ appetites for new and unusual travel experiences,” stated Bob Binder, President & CEO of Oceania Cruises.

The collection kicks off with a 12-day voyage from Jerusalem to Istanbul, then charts a course through the Red Sea to explore the Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman and then on to India, the Maldives and Myanmar.

All itineraries also include overnight port calls with some itineraries featuring as many as four overnights, along with myriad new ports of call such as Marmaris in Turkey, Sir Bani Yas in the Emirates, Doha in Qatar, Al Bahrain in Bahrain, Al Khasab in Oman, and Sabang in Indonesia.
