Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on when you booked, and that is the trap. The simply MORE package, which added a shore excursion credit and an alcoholic beverage package, stopped on 30 September 2024. The current fare includes shipboard gratuities for everyone everywhere but leaves excursions and alcohol to you. Two files on the same ship may therefore carry different things.
They are not any more. The excursion credit belonged to the simply MORE package, which stopped on 30 September 2024. Since then every shore outing is booked and settled separately, or bought as a package before departure. On an itinerary with many calls, that changes the arithmetic.
Yes, for everyone, and that is new. Since 30 September 2024, shipboard gratuities for stateroom attendants, butlers and dining staff are included wherever you come from. Before, they depended on your region or your loyalty programme. Nothing is posted to your onboard account on that account.
No. The alcoholic beverage package was part of simply MORE and was not carried over after 30 September 2024. What remains included at no supplement: soft drinks, speciality coffees, teas, still and sparkling water, juices and smoothies. Wine, beer and spirits are paid separately.
Yes, without exception and with no cover charge. It is the argument this line has always led with, and the one you can verify fastest once aboard. The recent hulls carry more of them than the 1998 ships, simply because they are twice the size.
Yes, Starlink and without limit. There is no quota of minutes, no device count to watch, no package to buy at departure. Coverage can vary with the ship's position on a long itinerary or in high latitudes, but the service itself is in the fare.
More than in any other fleet we track. The four 1998 hulls are leaving one after another: the Oceania Regatta went on 17 August 2026, the Oceania Nautica stops on 15 October 2027, the Oceania Sirena on 24 March 2028. Only the Oceania Insignia has no date. Against them come the Oceania Sonata in 2027 and the Oceania Arietta in 2029, twice the size.
No, it is the same hull. The Oceania Aurelia is the Oceania Nautica after refit and renaming. The present ship stops sailing on 15 October 2027 and returns late the same year under her new identity. Our two pages carried the same departure dates when we measured, which suggested otherwise.
The figure is published nowhere, and we will not invent it. No technical sheet from this line gives the number of wheelchair-accessible staterooms. We check it file by file before confirming. Note too that the 1998 hulls have nine accessible decks, fewer than the recent ships.
Things worth knowing before you pay. The carrier is Oceania Cruises S. de R.L., established in Miami, and the ships fly the Marshall Islands flag. A personal injury claim is pleaded in Florida; everything else goes to binding arbitration in Miami, with a class-action waiver. Only small claims in Miami-Dade escape it.
Far less time than people assume. For anything other than personal injury, written notice must go out within thirty days of the cruise ending, and the action within six months. Damaged luggage, a dropped call, a service not delivered: the clock starts at disembarkation. For personal injury, six months' notice and one year to sue.
A fire broke out in the engine room on 11 December 2014, while the ship was alongside. Three people lost their lives: two field service engineers from the engine maker and one crew member. The ship was repaired in Puerto Rico and did not return to service until March 2015. We say it because it is part of her history.
Nothing has been announced, and she is the only one of her series in that position. A plan to convert her into a floating residence for another operator did not go through. Her known schedule stops in November 2027, which explains the fifty-two dates in 2027 and none beyond. We draw no further conclusion.
Several. R One from 1998 to 2003, Insignia from 2004 to 2012, Columbus 2 under a German trade flag from 2012 to 2014, then Insignia again. It is a common trajectory for this series of hulls.
Thirty thousand two hundred and seventy-seven gross tons, one hundred and eighty metres, six hundred and ninety-eight guests at double occupancy, four hundred crew, nine accessible decks. Launched 24 January 1998 by Chantiers de l'Atlantique.
