Oceania Dropping NCFs on 2028–29 Sailings

Oceania Vista

Oceania Cruises is eliminating non‑commissionable cruise fares (NCFs) on all newly launched sailings, set to be announced in May and June.

Covering the 2028 summer and 2028–29 winter seasons and 2028 and 2029 Around the World voyages, the change is meant to simplify advisor compensation and expand their earning opportunities.

Once the new itineraries go on sale, the published commission rates will apply to the full commissionable cruise fare, according to a statement.

“Travel advisors are central to Oceania Cruises’ growth strategy—today and long into the future,” said Nathan Hickman, chief sales officer of Oceania Cruises.

“Eliminating the Non‑Commissionable Cruise Fare increases advisor earning potential on every booking and reflects our commitment to building the most advisor‑centric commercial model in luxury cruising.”

This is a permanent structural enhancement aimed at helping travel advisors earn more commission on every booking, while guest‑facing pricing and overall value remain unchanged, the company said.

Hickman added that the change is about recognizing the value travel advisors deliver and ensuring they share more directly in the growth they help create.
