Oceania Cruises has confirmed its plan to spend $50 million for the upgrade of its three smallest vessels namely, Nautica, Insignia, and Regatta, USA Today reported Thursday.
The renovations on the 684-passenger ships are expected to commence during the second quarter of 2014.
According to Oceania Cruises the upgrade will cover the new decor to the staterooms of the vessels as well as the extensive changes on their suites. Other areas that will undergo major transformations in the said ships include their bars, lounges and pool decks. Additionally, mini-golf courses, shuffleboard courts and deck games will be added to their sports decks.
