Oceania Cruises will retire Oceania Sirena from its fleet in the spring of 2028 following an agreement for the vessel's sale, parent company Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCLH) has announced.
NCLH confirmed that it signed a memorandum of agreement for the sale of the ship during July 2026, allowing Sirena to remain in service until spring 2028 before being transferred to its new owner. The company did not disclose the identity of the purchaser.
According to NCLH President and Chief Executive Officer John Chidsey, the decision forms part of the company's strategy to simplify the Oceania Cruises fleet while further strengthening the brand's position in the luxury cruise market.
Originally built in 1999 for Renaissance Cruises, the vessel entered service as one of the line's R-class ships before later operating as Ocean Princess. Oceania Cruises acquired the ship in 2016, following an extensive refurbishment, and introduced her into the fleet as Sirena.
The vessel underwent a further major refurbishment in 2019 as part of Oceania Cruises' US$100 million fleet enhancement programme. The project included the complete redesign of all guest accommodations, the introduction of new suite categories and extensive upgrades to public spaces. Sirena offers 337 suites and staterooms.
The retirement of Sirena comes as Oceania Cruises continues to modernise its fleet with the introduction of the new Sonata Class. The first vessel in the series, Oceania Sonata, is scheduled to enter service in 2027, with additional newbuilds planned as part of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings' long-term fleet expansion programme.
