Oceania Cruises' Sirena Makes Maiden Call at Port of Dover

On October 15, the Port of Dover welcomed the inaugural visit of Oceania Cruises’ Sirena, according to a press release.

The ship arrived as part of a 22-day journey that began in Stockholm and will conclude in Amsterdam, having departed on September 26. During the stop in Dover, passengers took part in day trips to Kent's renowned sites, such as its castles, gardens, vineyards and cathedrals, the port stated.

Peter Wright, head of cruise operations at the Port of Dover, commented: “It was a pleasure to welcome Sirena, the Oceania Cruises team and their guests to Dover on this wonderful autumn day. Dover is a great port of call at this time of year, giving guests the opportunity to experience a snapshot of Kent’s famous culture, heritage and countryside in one day. There are hidden gems around every corner of the county and for those looking to travel a little further, London is within easy reach. We are very lucky to have all of this on our doorstep.”

Jason Worth, vice president of international sales at Oceania Cruises, added: “It’s always exciting to bring a ship into a port for the first time, as it’s a chance for our guests to experience a new destination, whether it’s their second, tenth or 15th cruise with us. Calling at Dover allowed Oceania Cruises’ guests to explore one of England’s most iconic maritime destinations, and they delighted in the scenic beauty and historic charm of the area.”

After departing Dover in the evening, Sirena set sail for Antwerp, Belgium, before completing the voyage in Amsterdam, Netherlands, on October 17.
