MIAMI, Sept. 22,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Oceania Cruises, the
world's leading culinary- and destination-focused cruise line, has
announced that its new ship, Vista, secured a perfect score
of 100 during the luxury vessel's recent United States Public
Health (U.S.P.H.) inspection conducted by the U.S. Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). One of the most anticipated
new ships to join the global cruise fleet in May 2023, Vista boasts the most spacious
standard staterooms at sea, three brand-new dining concepts and
operates with a market-leading service ratio of two staff members
for every three guests.
Vista's unannounced U.S.P.H. inspection was held on
September 20, 2023, while the ship
was in Boston, Massachusetts,
during the third day of an 11-day inaugural U.S. and Canada cruise.
To earn a 100 score, cruise ships must receive perfect marks on
all 44 items that comprise the U.S.P.H.'s comprehensive Vessel
Sanitation Program checklist. The unannounced inspections, which
are conducted twice yearly and are required for any cruise ship
with an international itinerary calling at a U.S. port, evaluate
vessels in a wide variety of areas, including adherence to proper
food handling, preparation and storage procedures, and overall
galley cleanliness. In addition, ships' potable water supplies used
in spas and pools are evaluated.
The stunning 1,200-guest, all-veranda Oceania Cruises
Vista will mark her U.S. debut this fall with her inaugural
sailings across Canada and New
England, before heading south for a series of winter itineraries
exploring Mexico, Bermuda and the Caribbean from her homeport of Miami.
"We couldn't be prouder to achieve a perfect 100 in the United States Public Health inspection for
our luxurious new ship, Vista," commented Frank A. Del Rio, President of Oceania Cruises.
"Everyone on board works hard each and every day to ensure the
highest of standards are reached. A score of 100 carries
considerable magnitude, and we applaud the entire crew and officers
aboard Vista for this stellar achievement."
Vista Captain Luca Manzi added, "I cannot thank my
team enough for their dedication, commitment and for going the hard
yards to ensure that this beautiful vessel of ours is acknowledged
for being one of the cleanest ships in the fleet."
