Many travelers are drawn to cruising for both the opportunity to seamlessly explore multiple destinations in one trip and the fact that accommodations, meals, and entertainment are all included in cruise fares.
But even though cruises include a number of amenities, most vacations at sea are not truly all-inclusive. From WiFi and gratuities to shore excursions, drinks, and specialty dining meals, mainstream cruise lines have a variety of extra-cost amenities, too.
If you want a truly all-inclusive cruise and have the budget for an all-inclusive fare, you can look to luxury cruise lines for an elevated cruise experience that makes a cruise ship feel like a place you can really indulge without the hassle of excessive upcharges.
To make luxury cruising feel even more effortless, Oceania Cruises, the culinary- and destination-focused luxury line owned by Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, is now adding even more benefits to its array of always included amenities.

Oceania Cruises is adding more included amenities
Oceania Cruises is elevating its guest experience by adding additional curated amenities to its “Your World Included” program. In addition to offering even more cruise inclusions, the enhancement brings more flexibility to Oceania voyages.
Beginning with bookings made on or after Sept. 17, passengers will have the opportunity to choose one of two new amenities available as part of the “Your World Included” program: a generous shore excursion credit or complimentary wine and beer during lunch and dinner restaurant hours.
This new choice of amenities is being offered in addition to Oceania’s current collection of always included onboard amenities, which include specialty dining, unlimited WiFi, and shipboard gratuities.

“This is not another passing promotion; it’s a brand promise and reinforces the incredible value of the Oceania Cruises experience, giving our guests the luxury of even more choice,” said Oceania Cruises’ Chief Luxury Officer Jason Montague.
Travelers who want to dive deeper into each destination will be able to choose a shore excursion credit of up to $600 per guest, depending on the length of the voyage. This credit can be applied toward any of Oceania’s more than 8,000 small-group tours in global destinations.
Those who prefer to enhance their onboard dining experiences can choose to enjoy the new benefit of complimentary wine and beer by the glass. From sparkling, red, white, or rosé wine to a selection of international beers, passengers will have dozens of options to choose from during lunch and dinner hours.
