Oceania Cruises said it will offer 86 voyages in its 2014-15 winter season, including 44 new itineraries such as a 16-day cruise around the southern tip of South America. The company plans 16 new ports of call on its five ships.

Italian engineers have successfully re-floated the Costa Concordia cruise ship which ran aground off the Tuscan coast in 2012. Following a delay for poor weather, the ship was detached from rocks and moved on to a platform constructed on the sea bed.
