It claims the move will expand earning opportunities for travel agents who can secure more commission on every booking with guest pricing and overall value "remaining unchanged". The luxury line's new season launches are set to open for sale in May and June.

Oceania Cruises chief sales officer Nathan Hickman said: “Travel advisors are central to Oceania Cruises’ growth strategy – today and long into the future. Eliminating NCFs increases advisor earning potential on every booking and reflects our commitment to building the most advisor‑centric commercial model in luxury cruising.”
