no formal nights (tuxedos and gowns are never required). Shorts, jeans, t-shirts, athletic footwear and flip
flops are not permitted in the Grand Dining Room, Polo Grill, Toscana, Jacques and Red Ginger. As the

Tank tops and swimsuits are not appropriate attire for any of the onboard restaurants at any time.
Attire ashore is recommended to be casual and comfortable, and a particular emphasis is placed on
appropriate footwear, including good walking shoes. Some tourist sites may require specific attire in respect

Upon arrival at the pier, an Oceania Cruises staff member collects passports at the check-in facility and will
issue an Oceania WorldCard – embarkation card. This card serves as the stateroom key, onboard charge
card, and as ID required to embark and disembark the ship. After check-in, guests will proceed directly to the
ship’s gangway where they are required to show the Security Officer the Oceania WorldCard. Luggage is
delivered directly to their stateroom at least one hour prior to departure. Please be aware that luggage is
screened by security first and this may require some time. Therefore it is advisable for the guests to keep any
medications or other personal items they may need during the day.
GO NEXT HOSPITALITY DESK
The Go Next Hospitality desk is located on Deck 5. Hours vary.
GOING ASHORE
When the ship arrives in a port of call, guests are requested to wait in the public areas or in their stateroom
until an announcement is made with instructions for safe disembarkation. In certain ports, they will be
brought ashore in tender boats. Return to the ship is at least 30 minutes prior to sailing. If a guest returns
late and misses the ship, they are solely responsible for rejoining the ship and all associated costs. Therefore,
it is recommended to take a copy of Oceania Currents ashore, as it contains emergency contact information.

OCEANIA CRUISES
Marina Riviera
In a majority of the ports a local agent or tourist board provides an information service desk for the
independent passengers. The desk is usually located in the reception area on Deck 5, or in port
facilities ashore, generally from when the ship has been cleared by the port authorities until
lunchtime. Desk staff provides local maps, current timetables for local transport and general
information for sightseeing, dining, shopping, etc.

automatically added to the guests’ shipboard account for Steward/Stewardess and all restaurant staff. Guests

MONEY MATTERS
For convenience, Oceania Cruises offers a cashless system on board. All onboard purchases and services,
other than Casino, are billed to the guest’s onboard account upon presentation of the Oceania WorldCard
whenever purchases are made. To activate the shipboard account, they are required to register a credit card.
This may be done at embarkation or with the ship’s Reception Desk. Oceania Cruises accepts American
Express, MasterCard, and Visa. Personal checks are not accepted. If guests wish to settle their account with
cash, they will be asked to make a cash deposit at the Reception Desk. The U.S. dollar is the standard
currency for all transactions onboard. In order to obtain the best exchange rate, it is suggested that
treavelers take advantage of the ATM machines located in the many ports of call. Cash advances are also
available at the Reception Desk. A daily limit of $500 per registered credit card can be billed to the
stateroom account. A 5% transaction fee is applied by Oceania Cruises.
If travelers plan to use ATM funds, it is very important that they contact their bank or credit card
company to verify that PIN numbers are active and to inform them that they will be using those cards
during international travel. This prevents cards from being denied while abroad.
OCEANIA CURRENTS
The onboard newsletter, Oceania Currents, is published daily. Delivered directly to the stateroom each
evening, it serves as the agenda of scheduled activities, services, entertainment, and shore excursions for the
next day. Port information, entertainment, office and dining hours, and other vital facts are included in this
publication. Address and telephone contact of the local port agents are also included, therefore, it is
recommended to carry the newsletter at all times, even when going ashore.
OCEANIA WORLDCARD
Upon arrival at the pier, an Oceania Cruises staff member collects the passports at the check-in facility and
will issue an Oceania WorldCard – embarkation card. This card serves as the stateroom key, onboard charge
card, and as ID required to embark and disembark the ship. After check-in, guests will proceed directly to
the ship’s gangway where they are required to show the Oceania WorldCard to the Security officer. Luggage
is delivered directly to the stateroom at least one hour prior to departure.
RECEPTION

 General information

SAFETY ONBOARD
The ship is equipped with advanced technology that complies with the International Maritime Safety
regulations. There are automatic sprinklers, smoke and fire detection, and fire alarm systems. All staff
undergoes weekly training comprised of emergency drills, abandon ship drill and fire drills. The evacuation
plan is posted at the back of each stateroom door, and includes the location of the Muster Station specific to
each stateroom. Orange life jackets are stored in the closet in each stateroom (one per person). A mandatory
Lifeboat Drill will take place within 24 hours of departure, and must be attended by all travelers and crew.
The purpose of the drill is familiarization with the routine safety procedures such as life jacket use, muster
stations and lifeboat locations.

SECURITY
Security is of highest priority and travelers should make note of the following:
 After receiving their luggage, travelers should ensure all is in good order.
 The gangway is always supervised by an Oceania Cruises Security Officer. When travelers proceed
ashore, they must carry their Oceania WorldCard stateroom key, which has to be shown upon leaving
from and returning to the ship.
 As a precaution, Security Officers may search the packages, beach bags and handbags when travelers
return from the port visits.
 Oceania policy is that no visitors are allowed aboard.
 A universal practice at all hotels and ships should be observed: no valuables or money should be left
unattended and stateroom safe should be used.
SHORE EXCURSIONS
Optional shore excursions will be available for purchase approximately three months prior to the sailing date.
Additional information regarding the booking process will be sent in later correspondence. Shore excursions
are arranged by Oceania Cruises and operated in the various ports of call by local tourist service companies
contracted by the cruise line; they are not under the control of Go Next. Gratuities for a job well done are
customary and influenced by the level of service rendered. Please note that gratuities for the local and city
guides and drivers are not included in the price of the excursion. Guidelines would be the same as discussed
under the Gratuities section.
All shore excursions and instructions from the guides are conducted in English.
All guests who have pre-purchased shore excursions prior to the cruise will have their tour tickets delivered
to their staterooms on the first evening of the cruise.
Due to obligations with shore side excursion operators, Shore Excursion tickets are non-refundable after the
cancellation deadline. After the cancellation deadline, no refunds are given for any unwanted or unused
tickets. Any excursions cancelled by the ship or the excursion operators are credited accordingly. Tours may
be cancelled if minimum required is not met. Tours operate rain or shine.
SMOKING POLICY
There is a designated smoking area on the ship. For the safety and security of all guests and crew, smoking
is forbidden in all staterooms and suites, on verandas or in any areas of the ship other than those that are
officially Designated Smoking Area. Guests choosing to disregard this policy will be disembarked at the next
port of call and may also be subject to monetary penalties that will be imposed to cover the costs associated
with any damage caused or cleaning required. All other areas remain smoke-free.
TENDERS
Various ports may require the ship to anchor offshore. At these ports ship’s tenders will transfer travelers
ashore. The ship is equipped with ten tenders. One should refer to Oceania Currents for further details when
tendering is required.

and GPRS devices like Blackberry® when the ship is at sea. The guest can make and receive phone calls,
send and receive text messages and use other data when the ship is at sea. The guest will be billed by their
mobile phone provider and calls or messages will appear as roaming charges on their bill. Please consult the
wireless service provider for detailed rates and service zones. Each stateroom is equipped with a telephone
able to make ship-to-shore calls to anywhere in the world. Calls are approximately $4.95 per minute. Faxes
can be sent by contacting the Reception Desk.
BUTLER SERVICE
Butler Service is provided exclusively to Penthouse, Oceania, Vista and Owner’s Suites. Upon request, Butler
can provide an array of services and amenities; details are listed in individual suites.
ELECTRICAL OUTLETS
There are electrical outlets located in each stateroom and bathroom. Both 110v and 220v are available, so
personal appliances may be used without electrical converters or transformers. For safety reasons, irons and
cooking equipment may not be used in the staterooms. Irons are available in the self-service launderette.
HAIR DRYER
Every stateroom is equipped with a hair dryer. All staterooms are equipped with two 110v and two 220v
outlets at the vanity unit should guests wish to use their own appliances.
KEYS
The Oceania WorldCard serves as boarding card, stateroom door key, and the onboard charge card. For
security purposes, the stateroom number is not printed on the card.
LIFE JACKETS
Life jackets are located inside the closet in every stateroom, one per occupant. During the mandatory
lifeboat drill, travelers receive detailed instructions on proper usage.
LUGGAGE STORAGE
Luggage is delivered directly and speedily to every stateroom, at the latest one hour prior to ship’s
departure. Once unpacked, luggage may be stored under the bed. If it does not fit under the bed,
stateroom Steward/Stewardess will remove it for storage elsewhere on the ship and will return it on the last
evening of the cruise.
MINI-BAR
Owner’s, Oceania, Vista, Penthouse Suites and Concierge Level Veranda Staterooms feature a refrigerated
mini-bar stocked with a variety of complimentary soft drinks and bottled water. Charges will apply based
upon consumption of alcoholic beverages.

ROOM SERVICE
Room service is available 24 hours a day. Continental breakfast is available through Room Service from 6:30
am to 10:30 am daily. Order forms in the stateroom should be filled in and placed in the message holder
outside the stateroom door before 11:00 pm. Room service is not available on the morning of
disembarkation.
STATEROOM SAFE
All staterooms are equipped with a personal safe. It is recommended not to leave valuables, jewelry, or
money unsecured in the stateroom. Although every effort is made to safeguard staterooms, Oceania Cruises
or Go Next will not accept any responsibility for the loss or damage of any valuables.
TELEPHONE / CELL PHONES
To call another stateroom, one needs to simply dial the four-digit stateroom number. There are instructions
next to the telephone in the staterooms how to make private, high quality ship-to-shore calls. All charges are
billed to the Oceania WorldCard account. Guests should note that this is a satellite service and therefore
higher charges apply. The same concerns using guests’ private cell phones – roaming and satellite charges
vary from one server to the next and all guests should be aware of this.
TELEVISION / MUSIC
Each stateroom and suite is equipped with a flat-screen television. A wide array of programming including
first-run movies, CNN, FOX, and award-winning National Geographic, A&E and the History Channel are
available. Channels dedicated to Destination and Shore Excursion information, onboard activities, a host of
enrichment topics, popular sitcoms and over a dozen DMX Music Channels are also available.
