OCEANIA CRUISES UNVEILS 2004-2005 SOUTH AMERICA SEASON

Miami, FL, January 22, 2004 -- Oceania Cruises is proud to present
line’s inaugural season of voyages to South America aboard the
intimate and luxurious 684-guest Insignia. From the rugged coastlines
of Chile, Ecuador and Peru to the mighty Amazon and Orinoco rivers,
these exotic voyages sail to the most enticing locations this
breathtaking continent of contrasts has to offer. Meticulously planned
voyages offer guests an unrivaled blend of exploration and luxury and
will take them to chic metropolises, little-known seaports and present
a world of unusual, hauntingly beautiful adventures.

Guests may join a once-in-a-lifetime optional excursion to Ecuador’s
incomparable Galapagos Islands and observe the teeming wildlife while
following in the footsteps of naturalist Charles Darwin. Or head for
Peru’s fabled Machu Picchu, high in the Andes, an Inca stronghold
whose origin and true purpose are still shrouded in mystery.
Insignia’s explorations will take her up the east coast of South
America to cosmopolitan cities and vast rain forests brimming with
brilliant tropical birds. Insignia also ventures forth into the
pristine environs of the Chilean Fjords, South Shetland Islands and
the white continent of Antarctica, all havens for wildlife and
arguably, the ultimate travel experience.

Frank Del Rio, President and CEO commented, “South America's stunning
scenery and cultural experiences, combined with Oceania Cruises’
impeccable service, the finest cuisine at sea and sophisticated
amenities, create a virtual feast for the senses.” From the
neo-classical buildings of Buenos Aires to the ancient temples of
Machu Picchu, South America is a land rich in contrasts. It contains
vast rain forests brimming with brilliant tropical birds and glacier
filled passages lined with colonies of sea lions and penguins. “Luxury
and adventure are not mutually exclusive. We have gone to
extraordinary lengths to create both a shipboard and destination
experience that is startling in diversity and grand in scope,” added
Joe Watters, Chairman of Oceania Cruises.
