Oceania Cruises’ Adds to Value Proposition with New Fare Inclusions
by Dori Saltzman /Starting July 1, Oceania Cruises is including more in its fares with the all-new “simply MORE” packaging. Free roundtrip airfare, free airport transfers, free shore excursion credit worth up to $1,600, and a free beverage package for all guests will now be included with all new reservations departing October 1, 2023 or later.
The simply MORE value promise replaces the line’s previous OLife Choice program.
The shore excursion credit is per stateroom and varies by voyage length, from $600 for an itinerary of seven to nine days, to $1,600 on sailings of 31 to 35 days. The beverage package includes Champagne, wine, and beer at lunch and dinner. These new inclusions are on top of the already-existing ones such as no specialty restaurant charges; soft drinks, water, tea and coffee at no charge; and unlimited Wi-Fi.
“Thanks to the launch of simply MORE, our guests will enjoy even more value, more choice and more convenience than ever before,” said Frank A. Del Rio, president of Oceania Cruises. “Over the past 20 years, we have continued to adapt and evolve to the wants and needs of our valued trade partners and guests. We are always seeking to enhance the Oceania Cruises experience and raise the bar in offering the best value in luxury cruising. So, we asked our key audiences, guests and travel partners, what they wanted, and that was simplicity, choice, and value.”
“For me, the cornerstone of this exciting new value promise is the generous credit offered to every guest to be spent on shore excursions of their choice,” he added.
Reservations for guests sailing prior to October 1, 2023, will remain unchanged with amenities included as originally selected.
