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.”

In March, NCL removed NCFs from its pricing structure in the UK and Irish market which prompted agents to tell TTG at the time they hoped other cruise lines would "take note".

Six weeks later, Oceania Cruises – NCL's sister brand – has taken the same step. Hickman added: “This change is about recognising 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.”
