The food and destination-focused cruise line Oceania Cruiseswill offer its guests simply MORE, with complimentary shore excursions and a free beverage package for all new bookings made on or after July 1, 2023, for departures from October 1, 2023 onwards.
The brand's new simply MORE value proposition means travelers receive the greatest value in luxury cruising, with virtually everything they want included in their trip fare: more travel experiences with a shore excursion credit of up to $1,600 per stateroom; and more occasions to celebrate with a full beverage package available during lunch and dinner with vintage champagnes, premium wines, and international beers to choose from.
The new level of inclusions adds to the line's included services: gourmet dining with The Finest Cuisine at Sea with no reservation or entrance fees at specialty restaurants; fine teas and coffees, soft drinks and Vero Water (still and sparkling); 24-hour room service; unlimited WiFi; and fitness classes.
“With the launch of simply MORE, our guests will enjoy more value, more choice, and more convenience than ever before,” said Frank A. Del Rio, President of Oceania Cruises. “For the past 20 years, we have continued to adapt and evolve to meet the desires and needs of our valued business partners and guests. We are always looking to enhance the Oceania Cruises experience and raise the bar by offering the best value in luxury cruising. To that end, we asked our key audiences—guests and travel partners—what they want, and that is simplicity, choice, and value. Through our new simply MORE value proposition, they now have all three.”
“For me, the cornerstone of this exciting new value proposition is the generous credit offered to every guest to spend on shore excursions of their choice. Oceania Cruises is known for its imaginative and immersive itineraries, traveling to all parts of the world, and these are further enhanced by our industry-leading range of enriching shore adventures.”
Oceania Cruises offers more than 8,000 immersive and educational excursions across its more than 600 ports of call. Travelers can choose to explore iconic cities, hidden gems, and tranquil islands all on the same voyage.
Del Rio continued: “The Simply MORE land-based excursion credit can be applied to each and every one of our tours, from witnessing an active volcano from a helicopter in Montserrat and learning how to care for and herd sheep at a shepherd school in northern Spain on one of our Go Local tours, to enjoying an insider's view of iconic modernist buildings in Finland's capital city of Helsinki on a Beyond Blueprints tour, which takes travelers behind the scenes of landmark buildings with an architecture guide.”
The shore excursion credit varies depending on the length of the trip and can be redeemed for all excursions, which offer unparalleled destination experiences, such as Food & Wine Trails Tours and Culinary Discovery Tours, designed for culinary experts, Go Green Tours, focused on sustainability…
“Our customers appreciate good food and good wine, and we have always included all culinary specialties. Now we are delighted to be able to offer them a generous selection of wines, not only our own, but also champagnes and beers. With more than three dozen wines and a wide range of beers, as well as premium sparkling wines and champagnes, there is something for every palate,” said Del Rio.
Reservations for guests sailing before October 1, 2023 will remain unchanged with the included amenities as originally selected.
