Jeanette Rajamaki
Join us on Feb. 13 at 6:30 p.m. for our annual Oceania Cruises Event at Cottonwood Country Club in the Saguaro Room.
Kari Roach, our Arizona Director of Sales, will update us on all things with Oceania. Lots of changes have occurred in the past few months. Gratuities will now be included on all sailings, but some things have gone away, like the wine and beer package with lunch and dinner. Coach air will just be an option and not included.
A new ship will launch this summer called Allura. Kari will provide details and new itineraries. Riviera and Marina are being refurbished, and the 2026 world cruise information will be available.
Kari will be offering onboard credit of $100 per person for booking made from Feb. 13 through Feb. 28.
