Cruisegoers can choose their free benefit when booking

Oceania Cruises is making holidays even better for its guests with a brilliant new choice of perks.

From next week, anyone booking a cruise can pick between getting credits for shore excursions or enjoying free wine and beer with their meals. It's a lovely addition to what they already offer through their "Your World Included" programme.


The luxury cruise line, known for its amazing food and destination experiences, will roll out these enhanced benefits for all bookings made from September 17 onwards.
Guests will love having the freedom to choose what suits them best on their voyage.

For those who fancy exploring each destination, the shore excursion credit is a real treat. You can get up to $600 per person to spend on any of their 8,000 small-group tours - that's around £440 to discover everything from Alaska's wilderness to Asia's buzzing cities.

If you'd rather relax onboard, the drinks option is perfect. You'll find dozens of choices, including sparkling wines, reds, whites, rosés and international beers available during lunch and dinner.

It's worth noting these new perks come on top of all the lovely things already included - from speciality restaurants to WiFi and tips.

Chief luxury officer of Oceania Cruises, Jason Montague, said: "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."

The company wants guests to know they're getting proper value for money. They've even got a Best Value Guarantee, which means if a better deal comes up before you sail, they'll match it.

The enhanced package kicks off for new bookings from next week, September 17, and covers all cabin categories across every sailing.

Everything you'd expect from a luxury cruise is still included - gourmet meals in speciality restaurants, room service, soft drinks, premium coffees and teas, Wi-Fi throughout the ship, fitness classes, fresh juices and smoothies, ice cream, laundry services and all your tips.
