Experience the art of travel redefined as Oceania Cruises announces new enhancements and a fantastic suite of promotions designed to elevate your journey to unparalleled levels of comfort and value. Starting September 17, 2025, the brand’s celebrated Your World Included promise receives a transformative upgrade, introducing the “luxury of choice” and ensuring every aspect of your voyage is effortlessly tailored to your desires.
At the heart of this new offering is a simple, yet powerful concept: customization. While the core Your World Included amenities remain, offering an exceptional foundation of value, Oceania Cruises now invites you to enhance your experience with one of two curated benefits that best suit your travel style. This innovative approach moves beyond a one-size-fits-all model, putting the power of personalization directly in your hands.
The existing Your World Included package is already generous. It includes dining at all specialty restaurants, shipboard gratuities, unlimited Wi-Fi for two guests per stateroom, complimentary specialty coffees, sodas, juices, and Vero Water, plus free laundry service. This comprehensive list takes care of all the details, allowing you to relax and fully immerse yourself in your cruise vacation.
Now, with the luxury of choice, you’ll select a bonus amenity to complement this already robust offering. Your options are:
- Wine and Beer by the Glass: The perfect choice for those who love to “sip and savor.” This option grants you a curated selection of wines and beers by the glass during lunch and dinner restaurant hours. Whether you’re dining in a specialty venue or lounging by the pool, a refreshing glass is always within reach. This amenity is an ideal addition for culinary enthusiasts looking to elevate their dining experiences without the full commitment of a beverage package.
- Generous Shore Excursion Credit: For the “intrepid explorer” at heart, this credit is your key to unlocking the deepest secrets of each destination. Whether you want to explore local markets, discover historical landmarks on a guided tour, or indulge in a private culinary experience, this credit allows you to design a day on shore that perfectly matches your passions. It offers incredible flexibility, empowering you to create truly unforgettable moments in every port.
The Fine Print: Simple, Flexible, and Transparent
Oceania Cruises has made the process of selecting your amenity as seamless as possible. You can make your choice at the time of booking or contact your travel advisor or the Guest Services team. The default choice, if no selection is made, is the Shore Excursion Credit, ensuring you always receive a valuable benefit. You can even switch your choice up until the final payment date, providing ample time to decide what’s best for your trip.
It’s important to note that the amenity selection applies to the first two guests in a stateroom, and both must choose the same option. Solo travelers paying the full single supplement receive the benefit for two guests, doubling their value. This ensures that every guest, regardless of their travel party size, receives an exceptional experience. For solo guests on a reduced supplement promotion, the benefit is for one guest.
The Shore Excursion Credit is incredibly versatile and can be applied to any Oceania Cruises-arranged shore excursion or private, custom service. If you cancel an excursion within the cancellation guidelines, your credit is automatically returned to your balance for use on the same voyage. This flexibility provides peace of mind, knowing your value is protected. Any unused credit at the end of the voyage will automatically convert to a non-refundable shipboard credit, ensuring no value goes to waste.
For those who choose the Wine and Beer by the Glass option, the amenity is available in all onboard dining venues and bars during specific lunch and dinner hours. It’s a thoughtful touch that enhances your dining moments without adding extra costs. If you want to expand your beverage options, you can easily upgrade to the more comprehensive Prestige Beverage Package either before or during your cruise.
More Than a Promise: The Best Value Guarantee
Oceania Cruises’ commitment to value doesn’t stop with the Your World Included enhancements. The Best Value Guarantee gives you the confidence to book your cruise today, knowing you’ll always receive the best possible offer. This powerful guarantee ensures that if a better, publicly advertised promotion becomes available after you’ve booked your voyage, you can request to have that new offer applied to your reservation.
This is a game-changer in the cruise industry. The guarantee works both before and after your final payment. If a better promotion is introduced before your final payment, you can simply switch to the new offer. If the promotion appears after final payment, Oceania Cruises will apply the difference in value through a combination of shipboard credit, stateroom upgrades, or future cruise credit. This provides a safety net, eliminating the need to wait for a “better deal” and allowing you to book your dream cruise with peace of mind.
The Best Value Guarantee applies to promotions publicly advertised on Oceania Cruises’ official website and is valid as long as the new offer is active and your booked category is available. Requests to apply a new promotion must be made through your travel advisor or directly with Oceania Cruises. There are no administrative fees to switch, and once you switch to a new promotion, it fully replaces the original, ensuring clarity and a straightforward process. This program is a testament to Oceania Cruises’ commitment to transparency and putting the guest first.
The Future of Luxury Cruising
Oceania Cruises has always been a leader in the upper-premium cruise market, known for its exceptional cuisine, intimate ships, and destination-rich itineraries. With these new enhancements, the brand is solidifying its position by offering a level of personalization and value that is truly unmatched. The Your World Included program, now featuring the “luxury of choice”, combined with the peace of mind from the Best Value Guarantee, creates an irresistible proposition for discerning travelers.
From the moment you step onboard, every detail is taken care of, allowing you to focus on what truly matters: exploring the world, indulging in culinary artistry, and making unforgettable memories. Whether you’re a food and wine connoisseur or a globe-trotting explorer, Oceania Cruises empowers you to craft a vacation that is uniquely yours.
These enhancements are more than just new features; they represent a fundamental shift in how luxury cruising is defined. It’s about empowering the guest, offering flexibility, and delivering a consistent, high-value experience. The future of luxury cruising has arrived, and it’s all about choice. With an Oceania cruise, your world is truly included, and your journey is as unique as you are.
