The Berlin Oceanis, a classic cruise vessel with a rich maritime history, now offers daily overnight cruises from the Swettenham Pier Cruise Terminal (SPCT) in George Town, Penang. 

Following an extensive refurbishment in Ningde, China, the 9,570-ton ship has been revitalized with modern comforts while preserving its timeless charm.

Originally built in 1980, the Berlin Oceanis has served under several names and operators throughout its decades-long journey across the seas. 

Today, it boasts upgraded amenities, refreshed interiors, and improved guest experiences designed to meet the expectations of modern travelers.

Accommodations and Capacity – The vessel accommodates over 500 passengers across 150 well-appointed cabins. These range from cozy interior staterooms to ocean-view rooms, each equipped with air conditioning, private bathrooms, and contemporary fittings. While modest in size compared to mega-liners, the Berlin Oceanis offers an intimate cruising experience ideal for short getaways.

Onboard Facilities and Refurbishments – The recent overhaul included a comprehensive redesign of the ship’s public spaces. Guests can now enjoy:

·        A modernized main lounge featuring comfortable seating, a performance stage, and panoramic sea views.

·        A stylish buffet and à la carte dining area, serving a variety of Asian and international dishes.

·        An open-air sundeck complete with deck chairs and a bar – perfect for sunset views and stargazing.

·        A new spa and wellness corner offering foot massages and basic treatments.

·        Duty-free shopping outlets, featuring a selection of cosmetics, liquor, souvenirs, and more.

·        Entertainment and activity rooms, where live music, karaoke, and themed events take place nightly.

The vessel’s navigation and safety systems were also upgraded to meet international standards during the refurbishment, ensuring a safe and smooth voyage for all passengers.

Cruising with Tahan Holidays – Currently operated by Penang-based travel agency Tahan Holidays, the Berlin Oceanis offers a budget-friendly escape from the city with overnight trips priced from only RM160 per person. The journey provides a unique way to experience life at sea, whether you are a first-time cruiser or a seasoned traveler seeking a nostalgic voyage aboard a historic ship.

 

Whether you are looking for a relaxing overnight retreat, a fun family outing, or a romantic escape, the Berlin Oceanis delivers a memorable experience—backed by decades of seafaring legacy and a fresh, contemporary update.
