Oceania Cruises to include free internet onboard

As part of the program, guests booked in Owner's, Vista and Oceania suites will receive unlimited complimentary internet access to enjoy throughout their trip. Guests booked in Penthouse suites or Concierge Level staterooms will receive blocks of complimentary internet time based on cruise length, starting with 200 minutes for a seven-night cruise and extending to 500 minutes for voyages over 16 nights.

Being an upper-premium brand, Oceania Cruises ships feature a larger number of Concierge Level and above accommodations, which means this free internet program will cover more than 55% of all guests sailing on Marina and Riviera, and nearly half of all guests sailing on Regatta, Insignia and Nautica.

Guests will be able to take advantage of the free internet either through the ship's Wi-Fi system or at the Oceania@Sea Internet café. Oceania Cruises recently upgraded the Wi-Fi system across the fleet to increase bandwidth and provide connectivity throughout the entire ship, including all public spaces, outdoor decks and all suites and staterooms.

The complimentary internet rollout will be staggered across the fleet, tied to the official start of each ship's winter schedule. The first sailings will be Nautica on 25 October 2015, followed by Marina on 3 November 2015, Regatta on November 2015, Riviera on 2 December 2015, and Insignia on 4 January 2016, when it begins its third 180-day Around the World voyage.
