Luxury line Hapag-Lloyd was looking for a ship to attract younger passengers think working professionals with families who have plenty of cash to spend while it built a new ship, Europa 2 . For Oceania, the charter cheap car rentals in florida offer came at an ideal time. When the charter was announced in 2011, we asked Tim Rubacky, former senior director of corporate communications for Prestige Cruise cheap car rentals in florida Holdings (on behalf of Oceania Cruises), how the charter would benefit Oceania.
