Oceania Cruises’ president and chief executive Bob Binder said:

This new class of ships will represent an evolution of the Oceania Cruises experience with all the elements our guests treasure – a warm, intimate, residential style; the most spacious standard staterooms afloat; amazing suites, and of course, the finest cuisine at sea.

Frank del Rio, president and chief executive of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCLH), also went on to say:

This new class of ships will further elevate the already best-in-class guest experience at Oceania Cruises and meaningfully strengthen demand from both new and loyal returning guests, which will ultimately drive further returns for shareholders.
