Oceania Cruises has announced it will launch a new “value promise” to “elevate the guest experience”.

Called Simply More, the package, which goes live for all new bookings from 1 July, for sailings departing from 1 October 2023 onwards, includes free roundtrip airfare, free airport transfers, free shore excursions and a free beverage package for all guests.

It will replace OLife Choice.

Shore excursion credit amounts vary by voyage length, from $600 per stateroom for an itinerary of seven to nine days, up to $1,600 per stateroom on sailings of 31 to 35 days. The credit may be redeemed against all excursions.

Meanwhile, the beverage package will be available during lunch and dinner, featuring vintage Champagnes, premium wines and international beers.

Oceania Cruises ‘enhancing’ guest experience

Oceania Cruises president Frank Del Rio said: “Thanks to the launch of Simply More, our guests will enjoy even more value, more choice and more convenience than ever before.

“Over the past 20 years, we have continued to adapt and evolve to the wants and needs of our valued trade partners and guests.

“We are always seeking to enhance the Oceania Cruises experience and raise the bar in offering the best value in luxury cruising.

“We asked our key audiences, guests and travel partners what they wanted, and that was simplicity, choice and value. Through our new Simply More value promise, they now have all three.”

In May, Oceania christened its newest ship, Vista, at a ceremony in Valletta, Malta.
