New Pre-Cruise Savings Programme
Oceania Cruises has long offered future cruise booking savings and incentives for guests that book their next Oceania Cruises voyage on board, or within 30 days of returning home. Oceania Cruises is innovating once again by extending these benefits to guests and travel agent partners for the 30-day period prior to departure. Travellers that have already chosen their next Oceania Cruises experience may reserve it prior to departure and receive the exclusive savings and Best Price Guarantee in advance. Travellers benefit from optimal choice and savings while agents reap the rewards of repeat bookings that are automatically credited back to their agency.
Luggage Valet Service
Oceania Cruises is proud to partner with Luggage Forward, the speciality service offering travellers the option to have any additional baggage or equipment shipped from their doorstep directly to any Oceania Cruises voyage and then back again. It allows for ultimate relaxation by avoiding the inconvenience of carrying, checking and claiming luggage and even going through customs.
