From 1st July 2023 Oceania Cruises are changing what’s included with their cruise fares. Following feedback from guests (and travel agents), and after more than 10 years of OLife Choice, they will be offering a new set of inclusions for all sailings departing from 1st October 2023.
Introducing Oceania Cruises’ latest offering, simply MORE™, meticulously crafted to turn your wildest travel dreams into extraordinary adventures. Oceania Cruises brings you unparalleled value, an extensive array of choices, and unparalleled convenience.
So What’s Included?
Prepare for a multitude of unforgettable travel experiences with complimentary Shore Excursions, immersing you in the heart of each destination. Onboard, celebrate with a complimentary House Select beverage package, offering an extensive selection of vintage Champagnes, wines, and beers, alongside their always-included specialty coffees, soft drinks, and the refreshing Vero Water®, both still and sparkling. Of course, you’ll want to share your experiences with everyone at home too, so that’s why Unlimited Wi-Fi is also now included.
Since 1 January 2024, gratuities have also added to the simply MORE offering on all voyages. Please note that this does not apply to any additional services or products purchased on board which will incur a service gratuity of 20%.
What are the simply MORE Shore Excursion Credit Tiers?
The Shore Excursion Credit Amounts vary by voyage length, and are available for all staterooms and suites:
- 7-9 Days $600 Per Stateroom
- 10-13 Days $800 Per Stateroom
- 14-18 Days $1,000 Per Stateroom
- 19-24 Days $1,200 Per Stateroom
- 25-30 days $1,400 Per Stateroom
- 31+ days $1,600 Per Stateroom
What if a guest is sailing Solo?
Solo guests occupying a double occupancy stateroom and paying full tariff (200%) will receive the full shore excursion credit. For example, if the per stateroom credit is $800 they receive this amount.
Solo guests occupying a double stateroom and paying less than full tariff (any reduced single supplement or solo stateroom) will receive a credit equal to half of the per stateroom credit. For example, if the per stateroom credit is $800 they receive a $400 credit.
Do 3rd and 4th guests receive any simply MORE amenities?
Only the 1st and 2nd guests in a stateroom or suite receive the simply MORE amenities
Can I upgrade to an all inclusive drinks package (Prestige) that is available at any time and includes wines and spirits?
You may upgrade to the Prestige Select Beverage Package for $30 per guest, per day. This may be done in advance of sailing or once on board. The upgraded package must be purchased for both guests in the stateroom.
Are there limitations on the included free, gourmet dining? Can I pay an additional fee to guarantee additional reservations?
There is no charge to dine in the restaurants, but reservations are required. Every suite and stateroom is guaranteed a set number of reservations based on voyage length and the category of suite or stateroom booked. There is no option to pay for additional reservations, but they may be obtained upon request onboard and are subject to availability.
What if I have a current reservation and wish to upgrade to simply MORE?
If you booked prior to 1st July 2023, please contact your booking agent and they will provide you with the cost to upgrade to simply MORE based on the prevailing rate. Or, if you booked prior to 1st January 2024, and wish to arrange the inclusion of the gratuities, please contact your booking agent and they will provide you with the cost to upgrade to the latest simply MORE fare based on the prevailing rate.
