OCEANIA CRUISES? NEW ?ROMAN REVELATIONS? VOYAGE TO LIBYA AND TUNISIA

Miami, FL, May 30, 2006 ? Oceania Cruises is pleased to announce a
very special voyage that visits some of the most magnificent
historical and cultural destinations in the Mediterranean ? Tripoli
and Benghazi in Libya, La Goulette in Tunisia, and Monemvasia in
Greece.
Sailing from Barcelona on April 17, 2007 aboard its award-winning
flagship Regatta, this extraordinary voyage offers sophisticated
travelers an exceptional opportunity to discover the rich cultural
diversity and historical treasures of Benghazi and Tripoli in Libya
while transporting guests through centuries of history and ancient
civilizations. Brimming with intriguing ports of call, this
exceptional itinerary is perfectly tailored to appeal to those savvy
travelers seeking exotic destinations and far-flung adventures. Having
been off-limits to Americans for over two decades, Libya once again
welcomes American travelers to explore some of the finest ancient
sites found anywhere in the western world. Guests will have the
opportunity to explore lands settled by the Romans, Phoenicians,
Greeks and other great civilizations and discover the region?s wealth
of incomparable archaeological treasures.
* Tripoli abounds with opportunities for exploration.
Magnificently preserved Leptis Magna which was founded in the 1st
millennium BC and contains the largest bath house built outside Rome.
Or the ancient Roman city of Sabratha, a UNESCO World Heritage Site
which served as a Phoenician trading-post. Sabratha was part of the
short-lived Numidian Kingdom of Massinissa before being Romanized and
rebuilt in the 2nd and 3rd centuries A.D.
* Benghazi is Libya?s second largest city, situated on the eastern
edge of the Gulf of Sirt. Benghazi saw good times and bad during the
Greek, Roman and Byzantine eras before the Arabs conquered the city at
the beginning of the 7th century. A short distance outside of the city
lie many historic sites including the ancient Greek city of Cyrene.
* La Goulette offers an opportunity to visit Tunis, Carthage and
the picturesque village of Sidi Bou Said.
* The ancient walled city of Monemvasia serves as your
introduction to Greece and gateway to Mystra, the ancient ?city of
ruins,? and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Epidaurus.
Commenting on this historic voyage to Libya, Frank Del Rio, President
& CEO of Oceania Cruises stated, ?We are elated to be able to
introduce travelers to Libya?s wealth of archaeological treasures. We

enriching and enthralling exploration experience and I?m confident
