Oceania Cruises attracts a mix of first-time cruisers eager to try a premium cruise line and experienced travelers who simply enjoy the line’s longer, destination-focused itineraries. Average passenger age is 55. Many are former Renaissance Cruises fans; others are likely to be experienced travelers who have sailed on other premium and even luxury lines attracted by the value Oceania’s prices represent. Oceania passengers prefer smaller ships and savor international travel.
RECOMMENDED FOR travelers who want to visit far-flung lands; those who appreciate extra time in ports. Intellectually curious couples and mature singles who appreciate a good value and enjoy touches of luxury cruising. Those who prefer medium-size ships.
PAST PASSENGERS
After passengers sail once, they automatically become a member of the Oceania Club, the line’s past-passenger club. Then, the more they sail, the higher their level of rewards. All members receive an Oceania Club Journal and an invitation to the captain’s cocktail party for members. Other awards, depending on level of membership, might include complimentary gratuities, spa or onboard credits, and discounts on future cruises.
