Oceania enhances loyalty plan

Oceania Cruises has enhanced its Oceania Club loyalty program, adding a new Blue membership level for guests to start earning rewards as quickly as their first cruise. The cruise line has also added complimentary air deviation fee waivers as well as substantial savings on Internet, shore excursions, beverage packages and logo merchandise into its generous mix of benefits. Current benefits include on-board recognition and membership-level pins, exclusive Oceania Club cocktail receptions and member-only offers. Higher levels also include free cruises, free Canyon Ranch SpaClub treatments, and a combination of benefits that no other cruise lines provide — rewarding guests with BOTH shipboard credits and pre-paid gratuities. Oceania’s president, Kunal S. Kamlani said: “As we approach our 10th anniversary in 2013, it seemed the ideal time to redesign our loyalty program significantly enhancing the benefits at each milestone level and adding a new entry level so that guests can start earning rewards faster. These changes along with both meaningful shipboard credits and complimentary gratuities make our loyalty program truly the best in the industry.” The new program is effective with the first 2013 sailings.
