Oceania Cruises is introducing
alcohol packages on all voyages,
starting January 2012.
PREMIUM cruise line Oceania has
announced plans to sell unlimited drinks
packages, with all tips included.
The two packages will be available across its
fleet for all voyages from next year.
Package A, priced at US$29.95pp per day,
includes glasses of house wine and beer with
lunch and dinner, including room service.
Package B, priced at US$49.95pp per day,
includes premium house wine and beer, plus
all drinks on the bar menu (except Remy
Martin Louis XIII).
Packages can be pre-booked through a travel
agent, online or onboard.
A spokesperson told Cruise Weekly: “If
guests pre-purchase their drinks package,
then they must buy the package for the
entirety of their voyage. There are no refunds,
even if guests pay upfront for seven and only
decide to drink for four days.
“If they are, say, two days into the sailing and
decide they want the package, they can do so
and simply pay for the remaining days.”
Oceania Cruises has several local voyages
aboard the 684–passenger Regatta coming up
in early 2012 including the sold-out ‘Splendors
of Down Under’ to New Zealand in February
Cabins are still available on the 21-day ‘Coral
Seas and Australian Adventure’ from Auckland
to Sydney, departing 8 March, with fares from

There is also limited availability on the 25-
day ‘Jewels of the Pacific’, from Sydney to
Papeete (Tahiti), departing 29 March, with

Both deals include US$1,000 shipboard credit
per stateroom and free gratuities.
