The cruise line industry, just as in aviation, has to compete for business and because of that, many are offering major deals and specials to entice potential new customers and peek the interest of former passengers to return.

One of those cruise lines offering specials and deals is Oceania Cruises and for people booking one of 10 upcoming voyages, they will gain "extra perks."

According to USA Today, the line's new "Your World on Sale" promotion includes a $500 shipboard credit, free pre-paid gratuities and a free unlimited Internet Package on the sailings.

The cruise line will also reduce the deposit amount customers must put down to hold a cabin by 50 percent and is offering Business Class air upgrades from $799 per person, one-way, on select sailings.

According to Oceania's website, the deals are available for new bookings through May 31. 

USA Today reports that sailings included in the promotion are as followed:

- The 12-night "Treasures & Monuments" departure of the 1,250-passenger Riviera from Istanbul to Rome that begins on Aug. 16.

- The 12-night "Romance & Rivieras" departure of the Riviera from Lisbon to Monte Carlo that begins on Sept. 29.
