Oceania Cruises will include shipboard gratuities automatically in its cruise fares for stateroom attendants, butlers, and dining waitstaff, effective 1 January 2025. The change is part of Oceania Cruises’ newly unveiled Your World Included™ brand value promise. Previously, gratuities had been included selectively as travel partner or loyalty club amenities or for guests from certain regions of the world.

Oceania Cruises’ new simply MORE offering – which replaces the more than 10-year-old OLife Choice promotion – will be an easier sell for advisors, says the cruise line Vice President Sales & General Manager Asia Pacific, Jason Worth.

Oceania Cruises will implement its new ‘simply MORE’ included offering for all new bookings beginning 1 July 2023. The new “all in” pricing was revealed last month by Frank A. Del Rio, President of Oceania Cruises aboard the upper-premium cruise line’s new ship, Vista.
