Oceania Cruises®, the globally celebrated leader in luxury, culinary, and destination-focused cruising, has announced an unprecedented collaboration with Travel Associates to deliver an exclusive, nationwide takeover event across Australia. Set to run from November 1 to November 29, 2024, this dynamic partnership is crafted to bring Australian travellers an unparalleled opportunity to explore Oceania Cruises’ exceptional small-ship luxury experiences through unique in-store and digital activations across all Travel Associates branches nationwide.
A Milestone Collaboration Unveiled in Australia
Oceania Cruises will headline Travel Associates’ campaigns and in-store activities for the first time in Australian cruising history as the “Cruise Line of the Month.” This collaboration marks a significant milestone, placing Oceania at the forefront of premium cruise offerings designed specifically for Australian travellers who seek high-quality, immersive travel experiences. The month-long campaign promises to captivate experienced cruisers and those new to Oceania’s refined brand with exclusive promotions and insightful, personalized consultations.
In addition to a solid digital presence, Oceania Cruises will be featured across Travel Associates’ stores with deluxe “pop-up” travel desks designed to provide clients with seamless access to Oceania’s latest offerings and destination insights. By appointment only, these one-on-one consultations connect clients directly with an Oceania Cruises Business Development Manager alongside Travel Associates’ skilled consultants, ensuring each traveller receives personalized guidance to help them design the perfect Oceania experience.
Exclusive Events Spotlighting Oceania’s Luxury Offerings
As part of this all-encompassing takeover, Oceania Cruises and Travel Associates will also host a series of exclusive cheese and wine evenings across select Travel Associates branches. These elegant gatherings will invite guests to explore Oceania’s signature offerings—billed as “The Finest Cuisine at Sea®”—while immersing themselves in the allure of Oceania’s curated, small-ship travel itineraries.
Guests will be treated to updates on Oceania Cruises’ latest ventures, including the highly anticipated launch of Allura™, Oceania’s newest vessel, set to debut in 2025. These sessions will also highlight fleet enhancements and fresh itineraries that make Oceania a distinguished choice for those seeking culturally enriching and luxurious voyages. “Our Travel Associates x Oceania Cruises takeover series is an extraordinary opportunity to connect with our valued clients and consultants across Australia,” shared Jason Worth, Vice President of International Sales at Oceania Cruises. “We are excited to showcase our captivating new voyages, new ships, and ultra-premium travel experiences through this valuable partnership.”
Celebrating a Partnership Rooted in Excellence
Rachel Kingswell, General Manager for Travel Associates Australia and New Zealand, expressed enthusiasm for the ongoing collaboration, noting, “Travel Associates is proud of our longstanding partnership with Oceania Cruises, and we are excited to provide this unique opportunity to our clients around Australia. A growing number of our clients are seeking premium cruise experiences, and they look to us to provide professional guidance and unique insights. This one-of-a-kind experience, accompanied by an exclusive Oceania Cruises offer, will appeal to both existing clients as well as those that are new to brand, or new to cruise.”
The collaboration is a natural progression for Oceania Cruises, whose brand is renowned for culinary distinction, intimate and luxurious accommodations, and a strong commitment to offering in-depth, authentic travel experiences. With Travel Associates’ reach and trusted reputation in premium travel planning, the campaign is poised to inspire clients and showcase Oceania as the epitome of small-ship luxury.
