Oceania Cruises has announced that it will offer guests a free pre-cruise hotel stay on a range of sailings throughout late 2024 and 2025.

The offer means that passengers will be able to arrive a day before their cruise embarkation, as well as the opportunity to delve further into the departure port, the company said in a press release.

According to Oceania, the offer is available on 33 destination-immersive sailings that explore Brazil, the Canary Islands, Japan, Singapore, Bali, and New Zealand, with itineraries ranging from 11 to 35 days.

The offer is available for reservations made between April 1, 2024, and May 31, 2024.

Departure ports that will receive the free pre-cruise hotel stay include Cape Town, Tokyo and Rio de Janeiro.

“This exclusive free pre-cruise hotel stay gives our guests the opportunity to start their journey even more relaxed and experience some of the world’s great cities in a deeper and more authentic way,” said Frank A. Del Rio, President of Oceania Cruises.

“We know that our guests revel in immersing themselves in the local lifestyle, and our destination-focused approach makes spending more time in enriching cultures, experiencing mouthwatering cuisines, and embracing iconic cities even easier for our valued guests,” he added.

Itineraries that feature the free hotel offer include the “Astounding Australasia” cruise onboard the Regatta.

Sailing in November 2024, the 24-night cruise sails from Singapore to Auckland and features visits to Jakarta, Bali, Papua New Guinea and Australia.

The offer is also available for the “Africa Navigator” cruise onboard the Nautica in May 2025.

Cruising between Cape Town and Barcelona, the 26-night itinerary features several destinations in Africa and the Atlantic, such as Namibia, Angola, São Tomé e Principe, Togo, Ivory Coast and the Canary Islands.
