Oceania Cruises says it is eliminating Non‑Commissionable Cruise Fares (NCFs) on all newly launched sailings — expanding earning opportunities for travel advisors and reinforcing the brand’s long‑standing commitment to being a trusted, long‑term partner to the travel agency community.

Effective with the launch of new itineraries, covering the 2028 Summer and 2028-2029 Winter seasons and 2028 and 2029 Around the World voyages, published commission rates will apply to the full commissionable cruise fare.

As a result of the permanent structural enhancement, travel advisors will earn more commission on every booking, while guest‑facing pricing and overall value remain unchanged. New season launches are set to open for sale in May and June of this year.

Nathan Hickman, Chief Sales Officer of Oceania Cruises, said that: “Travel advisors are central to Oceania Cruises’ growth strategy — today and long into the future.”

And Hickman continued: “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.”

While NCFs remain a common industry practice, Oceania Cruises’ decision represents a deliberate investment in its most important distribution channel.

By removing NCFs entirely on newly launched sailings, the company is simplifying advisor compensation, improving earnings transparency, and reinforcing its position as the partner of choice for travel advisors worldwide.

Hickman explained: “ This change is about recognizing the value travel advisors deliver and ensuring they share more directly in the growth they help create. When our advisors succeed, Oceania Cruises succeeds—and that philosophy will continue to guide how we invest in our partnerships.”

The move comes as Oceania Cruises enters its next phase of growth, including the recent announcement of an order for the fifth ship in its Sonata‑class fleet. As capacity expands and long‑term demand builds, the company continues to deepen its investment in travel advisors as the cornerstone of its commercial strategy.
