On Oceania, in all cabin categories, the base cruisefare includes:

~First class roundtrip airfare

~72 shore excursions or a beverage package or $7,200 OBC (we chose shore excursions)

~Prepaid gratuities

~Onboard medical care

~Unlimited internet

~Unlimited laundry services

~5 shoreside events

~Complete visa package

~Roundtrip luggage delivery

~1-night pre-cruise luxury hotel stay

~Roundtrip transfers

 

When we were doing research about which cruiseline to book, we used these perks to compare. For other lines that don't included some of them, we had to add on the cost to their base cruisefare in order to compare apples-to-apples. We also wanted a westward cruise direction, not a huge ship, and more port days than sea days.

For the 2020 WC, from LA to London (119 days) the Viking Ocean base fare in all categories includes:

  • Excursion in each port
  • Complimentary drinks package
  • Complimentary wi-fi
  • Complimentary gratuities
  • $2,000 USD OBC for shore-ex, per person
  • $1,000 USD OBC for shops/spas, per person
  • Complimentary laundry
  • Complimentary VISA service
  • Complimentary round trip Business Class airfares
  • Complimentary luggage delivery
  • Complimentary transfers
  • Complimentary specialty restaurants
  • Includes port fees & taxes

While the Viking base may seem expensive, I estimated the total cruise expense will be a very small increase over the cost of our 2015 WC with Princess.

 

 

The entire World Cruise is split into 2 segments - London to LA & LA to London
