Oceania Cruises Gratuities Policy
Under Oceania Cruises’ current Your World Included® fare, standard shipboard gratuities are included in the cruise fare.
Included gratuities cover:
- Stateroom attendants
- Suite attendants
- Butlers
- Dining waitstaff
Guests do not need to pay a separate daily gratuity for these crew members when sailing under the current Your World Included fare.
Additional Service Gratuities
A 20% service gratuity is automatically added to certain additional onboard purchases and services, including:
- Beverage purchases
- Spa services
- Other applicable onboard services not already covered by the cruise fare
Older Bookings
Older reservations booked under previous Oceania fare structures may follow different gratuity rules.
Oceania’s current terms state that bookings made under simply MORE, or certain bookings for sailings before January 1, 2025, may not have gratuities included and may instead be subject to the gratuity terms applicable when the reservation was made.
Guests should check their booking confirmation if they are traveling under an older fare or promotional structure.
Additional Tipping
Guests may provide additional gratuities at their discretion if they wish to recognize exceptional service.
Gratuity inclusions and service charges may vary based on booking date, fare type, sailing date, and onboard purchase and are subject to change without prior notice.
