Oceania Cruises’ new ship, Vista, has earned a perfect score of 100 in the United States Public Health (U.S.P.H.) inspection conducted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This is a significant achievement, as cruise ships are required to receive perfect marks on all 44 items on the U.S.P.H.’s Vessel Sanitation Program checklist in order to earn a 100 score. The inspections are unannounced and conducted twice yearly, and evaluate vessels in a wide variety of areas, including food handling, preparation, storage, and overall galley cleanliness. Additionally, ships’ potable water supplies are also evaluated.

Vista is a stunning 1,200-guest, all-veranda ship that marked her U.S. debut this fall with inaugural sailings across Canada and New England. She will now head south for a series of winter itineraries exploring Mexico, Bermuda, and the Caribbean from her homeport of Miami.

Frank A. Del Rio, President of Oceania Cruises, commented on the perfect score, saying, “We couldn’t be prouder to achieve a perfect 100 in the United States Public Health inspection for our luxurious new ship, Vista. 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.”

Vista’s perfect score in the U.S.P.H. inspection is a testament to the cruise line’s commitment to providing its guests with a safe and healthy sailing experience. It is also a recognition of the hard work and dedication of the crew and officers aboard Vista.
