Oceania Cruises has announced a new brand value promise called Your World Included. It features an updated selection of always included amenities including daily gratuities. Previously, gratuities had been included selectively as travel partner or loyalty club amenities — or for guests from certain regions of the world.

Gratuities are in addition to other Your World Included amenities: specialty restaurant dining; sodas, juices, specialty coffees, and teas; still and sparkling Vero Water; unlimited Starlink wifi; room service; fruit smoothies, gelato, and artisan ice cream; group fitness classes; and laundry service.
The updated inclusions will begin on October 1, 2024 for all new reservations on sailings departing on or after January 1, 2025. Oceania‘s current ‘simply MORE’ offering will end on September 30, 2024 meaning that a shore excursion credit and beverage package will no longer be automatically included.
The change has come following guest feedback highlighting that while they enjoyed the simply MORE inclusions, they would rather global guest inclusions focused on what mattered most. At the top of this list was always included gratuities for all guests.

Based on a 10-day cruise, guests will receive always included amenities valued at over $1,800 per stateroom when compared to premium cruise lines. This figure is based on average charges made for gratuities, WiFi, non-alcoholic beverage packages, and specialty dining reservations.
