How to Get Military and Veteran Discounts on Oceania Cruise Line
Oceania does not offer military and veteran discounts directly.
However, we will always add a military and veteran discount to the lowest rate offered by Oceania for any of their sailings, so our rate will always be lower than Oceania’s lowest rate.
This discount is not reflected in the prices shown on our Military Cruise Deals website. Be sure to call us to book your Oceania cruise so we can apply the extra discount at the time of booking: 866-964-5482. Or request a quote for a specific cruise at www.holdmycruise.com.

Why We Love Oceania Cruises
We hate to play favorites, but Oceania is at the very top of our favorite cruise line list. If you’re a cruise connoisseur who has been on many cruises — even the most luxurious lines — you’ll really appreciate Oceania. It’s large enough to be lively but small enough to feel exclusive. Once our clients try Oceania, they usually stick with Oceania thereafter.
The cruise cabins are an average 50% larger than other cruise lines, and the food is the best in the entire cruise industry.
Oceania is a relaxed luxury cruise line with mid-sized ships that do mostly longer voyages from 10 to 24 days.
Although it is not all-inclusive like the most expensive cruise lines (Silversea, Seabourn, SeaDream, and Crystal), it sits at the very top of the non-inclusive category.
What Does Your Oceania Cruise Include?
Although the price of your Oceania cruise does not include alcohol, Oceania’s rates do include free and unlimited soft drinks, bottled water, cappuccino, espresso, tea, and juices. A premium drink package that includes beer, wine, and top-shelf spirits can be purchased for $79.95 per person per day — less than the $90+ per person per day charged by many cruise lines.
Even better, since 2025 Oceania’s “Your World Included” fares also include gratuities, all of the specialty restaurants at no extra charge, and unlimited Wi-Fi.
Oceania Is Known as a Food and Wine Connoisseurs’ Cruise Line
Its executive culinary director is the renowned master chef Jacques Pépin. Oceania’s culinary goal is serving cuisine that is the finest at sea and rivals the best restaurants ashore — a standard we feel they have genuinely achieved. We always direct our pickiest foodie clients to an Oceania cruise.
Marina and Riviera were purpose-built for epicureans and each offer over 10 dining venues.
Oceania’s grand dining rooms are evocative of Europe’s grandest hotels, with tuxedo-clad wait staff graciously serving course after course.
Oceania’s Cruise Ships: Allura, Vista, Sirena, Riviera, Marina, Regatta, Nautica, and Insignia
Oceania’s newest ships are the Allura (2025) and Vista (2023), each about 67,000 tons with roughly 1,200 guests. Their “O Class” predecessors are the Riviera (built 2012) and the Marina (built 2011). Both are 66,000 tons and hold 1,200 passengers. Nearly all 600 cabins are balcony cabins. The Marina was named “2011 Ship of the Year” by Ocean and Cruise News magazine.
While the Regatta and Nautica are mid- to small-sized ships, they still offer all the amenities of a large ship: four open-seating restaurants, bars, lounges, an internet center, casino, outdoor pool, fitness center, jogging track, beauty salon, and a full-service Aquamar Spa + Vitality Center.
The Sirena, a sister ship to the Regatta and Nautica, was refurbished and added to the fleet in 2017. All cabins on the Sirena include Ultra Tranquility Beds featuring:
- Custom-designed mattress with 3,000 encapsulated micro-springs for a peaceful night’s sleep
- Quilted silver-threaded fabric and specially designed thermo-fiber for luxurious comfort
- Plush down comforter
- Hand-quilted throws
Oceania’s Cooking School at Sea and Culinary Enrichment Program
The Culinary Centers aboard Marina, Riviera, Vista and Allura offer hands-on cooking classes at sea. Catering to all skill levels from beginner to master chef, the Bon Appétit Culinary Centers feature 24 fully equipped professional workstations where guests gain hands-on cooking experience in innovative classes.
With the launch of Riviera in 2012, Oceania expanded its culinary enrichment program with Culinary Discovery Tours to more than 25 ports worldwide. These tours let guests explore local food markets in small groups side-by-side with an expert chef, ending with a hands-on cooking class highlighting regional specialties.
Oceania also partners with Wine Spectator magazine for La Reserve — an intimate venue seating only 24 on Marina and Riviera — that hosts wine tastings and food pairings with rare vintages selected by the magazine’s editors.
Oceania’s Staterooms
The 2,000-square-foot Owner’s Suites are completely furnished with selections from the Ralph Lauren Home collection. All concierge suites include walk-in closets, marble and granite bathrooms, spacious seating areas, writing desks, bathtubs and rainfall showers, flat-screen televisions, wireless laptops, iPads, and Bulgari toiletries.
70% of staterooms include private teak verandas and are the largest balcony cabins at sea at 282 square feet — versus the industry average of 178. Even Oceania’s ocean view cabins are larger than most cruise lines’ balcony cabins at 242 square feet.
Inside cabins at 174 square feet still include a large bathroom, tranquility bed, 700-thread-count linens, a refrigerated mini-bar with free and unlimited soft drinks and bottled water replenished daily, free 24-hour room service, flat-screen TV, thick cotton robes and slippers, chocolates with nightly turndown service, a security safe, and more.
Butler Service in All Oceania Suites Includes:
- Course-by-course in-suite dining
- Order in from any specialty restaurant
- Coordination of shore-side dinner and entertainment reservations
- Packing and unpacking upon request
- Last-minute luggage collection
- Complimentary garment pressing
- Complimentary shoe shine service
- Gourmet evening canapés
How Oceania Compares to Other Luxury Cruise Lines
Oceania is often called “affordable luxury” — and that’s exactly why we love it. You get luxury-level food, service and cabins for less than the true all-inclusive luxury lines like Regent Seven Seas, Silversea, Seabourn and Explora Journeys.
The trade-off? Fewer inclusions.
Here’s the simple way to think about it: Oceania costs less, but you pay extra for alcohol, shore excursions and airfare. The all-inclusive luxury lines cost more, but more of your vacation is prepaid in the fare.
What Oceania Includes Now
Oceania has added a lot in recent years. With its “Your World Included” fares (sailings from January 2025 on), every Oceania cruise includes gratuities, all of the specialty restaurants at no extra charge, unlimited Wi-Fi, soft drinks, specialty coffees, teas and juices, and room service.
What’s not included: beer, wine and cocktails, shore excursions, and airfare.
Oceania vs. Regent, Silversea, Seabourn and Explora
| What’s included | Oceania | Regent Seven Seas | Silversea, Seabourn & Explora |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | Lower — the best value in luxury | Highest — the most inclusive | Higher |
| Gratuities | Included | Included | Included |
| Specialty restaurants | Included | Included | Included (a few venues may charge) |
| Wi-Fi | Included | Included | Included |
| Soft drinks, specialty coffee, juices | Included | Included | Included |
| Beer, wine & cocktails | Extra (free beer & wine on some promotions) | Included | Included |
| Shore excursions | Extra (excursion credit on some promotions) | Included in every port | Usually extra (included on some voyages or fares) |
| Airfare | Extra | Included on most voyages | Usually extra (included on some fares) |
| Our military discount | At least 5% | At least 5% | At least 5% |
Inclusions change often and can vary by voyage and fare. Call us and we’ll confirm exactly what’s included on the cruise you’re looking at.
Who Should Choose Oceania?
Oceania is usually the better value if you’re a foodie, you enjoy a glass of wine with dinner but don’t drink a lot, and you like to explore ports on your own.
An all-inclusive line like Regent may be worth the extra cost if you enjoy cocktails and wine every day, want a guided tour in every port, and want your airfare taken care of.
Tip: Oceania promotions often add your choice of FREE wine and beer or a shore excursion credit (see Today’s Special Deals above), which closes much of the gap. And our military discount of at least 5% goes on top.
Not sure which is the better value for your trip? We’ve booked them all. Call us and we’ll price Oceania side-by-side with Regent, Silversea or Seabourn: 866-964-5482.
