Tony Andrews, managing director of cruise.co.uk, said: “The response to our initial Oceania Cruises charter programme exceeded expectations and reinforced the growing demand for a luxury holiday at sea among our customers. These new itineraries build on those options, offering even greater choice through a combination of immersive escorted touring and luxury cruising.
“Whether exploring the Italian Lakes, discovering Portugal’s cultural highlights or enjoying a classic Iberian voyage, guests benefit from exceptional value, exclusive experiences and the outstanding onboard service for which Oceania Cruises is renowned. We’re delighted to expand this partnership and bring even more luxury holiday choice to the UK market.”
Hays Travel acquired Victoria Travel Group, the parent company of cruise.co.uk, in July 2025.
