If you want to arrive 6 days before cruise departure, you would pay the deviation fee of $199/pp which would allow you to choose itinerary, times, airline, etc. You would submit your choice(s). If you accept what they offer (which could also involve an air differential) you would then pay the non-refundable fee. This is considered a 'custom air request'. They now offer the option of arriving up to 3 days early and staying up to 3 days later at no additional charge, but you must accept what they offer in terms of itinerary, flights, etc. Your other option, of course, is to do your air independently of O's.

Thank you for your info!

Can you clarify the "Air Credit"?

Where is it from?

 

It  has nothing to do with Oceania.  It was an “air credit” we received for a flight for a land trip that we had to cancel.

We have an air credit and want to use it for a cruise that we have booked.  We want to arrive 6 days early and take a side trip.  Does Oceania allow a 6 day early arrival using included  Oceania airfare.  Also what is a custom air request and would that help us?

Thanks for the help.

I contacted Manulife and they are not issuing insurance due to the Canadian Government Travel Advisory to avoid cruises. TUGO, another provider, is also not insuring cruise travel as they consider the Advisory a Level 4. If anyone knows an insurance company in Canada that is offering emergency medical, COVID and preexisting coverage for cruises to people over 61, who are fully vaccinated, please let all of us know.
