Oceania Cruises, known for its culinary and destination-focused voyages, has introduced a new brand promise called Your World Included, enhancing the guest experience with a revised range of included amenities. This initiative strengthens the company's existing Your World. Your Way philosophy by simplifying what is offered to all passengers globally.
Under Your World Included, crew gratuities (for cabin attendants, butlers, and dining staff) will now be automatically covered in the fares for all guests. Previously, these gratuities were selectively included based on factors like loyalty status or regional offers. This update is in response to guest feedback requesting more universal inclusions, with gratuities frequently topping the list of desired enhancements.
In addition to gratuities, guests will continue to enjoy a comprehensive selection of amenities, such as dining at specialty restaurants, unlimited Starlink WiFi, a variety of non-alcoholic beverages, and laundry services. Other highlights include group fitness classes, eco-friendly still and sparkling Vero Water, and in-room dining options. These inclusions will take effect on October 1st, 2024, for sailings departing from January 1st, 2025, onward.
This change marks the end of Oceania's current simply MORE offering, which had included shore excursion credits and beverage packages. Instead, the updated focus aims to provide globally relevant perks that align with guest preferences. On a typical 10-day cruise, guests can expect to enjoy amenities valued at US$1,800+ per stateroom compared to premium cruise lines, encompassing a range of luxury services that enhance the overall experience.
Among the key inclusions:
- Gourmet Specialty Restaurants: No additional charges for a variety of open-seating restaurants.
- In-Suite and In-Stateroom Dining: Complimentary hot and cold selections available in-room.
- Unlimited WiFi: Faster internet speeds through Starlink connectivity.
- Beverages: Free sodas, specialty coffees, teas, cold-pressed juices, and smoothies at various venues.
- Vero Water: Unlimited still and sparkling water with an eco-friendly approach.
- Gourmet Ice Cream: Homemade gelato and artisan ice cream always included.
- Group Fitness Classes: Free fitness sessions available at the Aquamar Spa + Vitality Center.
- Laundry Services: Complimentary laundry facilities, with additional pressing services for Concierge and Suite levels.
- Shipboard Gratuities: Service staff gratuities fully covered in the fare.
Passengers can further customize their journey by opting for additional services, such as air transportation, shore excursions, or premium beverage packages, according to their preferences.
