When you choose an Oceania cruise, you’re already getting something special: intimate ships that carry fewer than 1,250 guests, cuisine crafted by Master Chef Jacques Pépin, and itineraries designed for genuine cultural exploration. Starting September 17, 2025, that exceptional experience just got even better.
A Meaningful New Choice for Every Guest
Oceania’s expanded Your World Included program now offers every guest a choice between two valuable benefits:
Shore Excursion Credit (Up to $600 Per Person) This generous credit can be applied to any of Oceania’s extensive shore excursion offerings. Imagine using it toward experiences like private cooking classes with local chefs in Tuscany, helicopter tours over Norway’s dramatic fjords, intimate wine tastings at premier Bordeaux estates, or small-group cultural tours led by local experts—all part of their collection of over 8,000 guided tours worldwide.
Complimentary Wine & Beer Service Thoughtfully selected wines and international beers served by the glass during lunch and dinner, perfectly paired with Oceania’s acclaimed cuisine.
This enhancement is permanent, not promotional, reflecting Oceania’s commitment to delivering exceptional value.

Why Discerning Travelers Choose Oceania
Intimate Ship Experience With a maximum capacity of 1,250 guests, Oceania ships offer a refined atmosphere where you’ll never feel crowded. This smaller size also allows access to boutique ports that larger ships simply cannot reach.
Culinary Leadership Jacques Pépin’s influence goes far beyond menu design. His culinary philosophy, emphasizing fresh, regional ingredients and classic techniques, is evident in every meal, from casual poolside dining to elegant specialty restaurants.
Destination-Focused Itineraries Oceania visits over 600 ports across 100+ countries, with longer stays and overnight ports that allow for meaningful exploration. You’ll have time to discover local culture, not just tourist attractions.
Relaxed Elegance The atmosphere aboard Oceania ships is sophisticated yet welcoming: think country club comfort rather than formal cruise traditions. Dress codes are relaxed, and the focus is on genuine hospitality.
The Value of True Inclusion
Beyond the monetary savings (which are substantial) the real benefit lies in the freedom to fully enjoy your vacation. When shore excursions and beverages are included, you can make choices based on interest rather than budget, leading to richer, more authentic experiences.
This comprehensive approach to luxury cruising means fewer decisions about add-ons and more time focusing on what matters: the destinations, the cuisine, and the memories you’re creating.
Planning Your Oceania Experience
These enhancements make Oceania’s already compelling value proposition even stronger. Popular itineraries are filling earlier, particularly:
- Mediterranean voyages during the ideal weather months of late spring and early fall
- Northern European summers with extended daylight hours
- Cultural immersion cruises through Asia and the Americas
The intimate nature of Oceania’s ships means fewer available cabins, and these new inclusions are generating increased interest from travelers who value thoughtful luxury.
