The NEW Oceania Marina

The Miami Skyline and the Sailaway enroute to the Bahamas

Yes, on one photo, that IS the moon over Miami!

The Christening and Inaugural Ceremonies

Photos of the Inauguration and Christening Event for the new Oceania Marina.  I was fortunate to be one of only about 1,000 to be invited to the festivities.  Only a portion of the invitation list were travel agency owners.  

I was especially honored to be among those chosen.  I have been booking Oceania Cruises since they opened their doors and I lead many groups on the Oceania ships.  I now have sailed on all four of their vessels. 

Pictured in these photos are Frank Del Rio, chairman

and CEO; Bob Binder, president; Mary Hart, godmother.  Also shown are the captain of the vessel and some of his crew who look on from the ship above the ceremony.  It was a great event.

The Christening

Here are a few photos of the actual christening event.  Pictured is the champagne bottle before the ceremony...the bottle just before it hit the hull of the Marina...and the moment the bottle burst to christen the Marina.

Suites aboard the Oceania Marina

Here are just a few of the photos from the interiors of the suites and balcony cabins on board.  The new Marina has four Owner's Suites which each span the entire width of the vessel from port to starboard on four different decks.
