Allura-Class

Oceania Cruises has officially taken delivery of Oceania Allura, the second ship in the line’s innovative Allura Class.

Oceania Cruises marked an important milestone in the construction of its new 1,200-guest ship, Allura, at the Fincantieri shipyard in Sestri Ponente, Italy with the vessel floated out from the dry-dock and moved to the fitting-out berth to begin outfitting the luxurious, designer-inspired interiors.

Oceania Cruises has announced its newest ship Allura will enter service one week earlier than originally scheduled. Due to join the fleet in the northern summer 2025, Allura’s inaugural sailing will now depart Trieste, Italy on 18 July 2025, cruising six days to Athens.

Oceania Cruises has revealed the inaugural season sailings for Allura, its newest ship, due to join the fleet in winter 2025. The 26 Inaugural Season sailings span over 92 destinations on various seven- to 34-day voyages and will open for sale on 14 September 2023. The new build will boast standard staterooms measuring 27 square metres, larger than many entry-level suites on some ultra-luxury cruise lines.

Oceania Cruises has taken delivery of its first ship in more than 10 years, the 1,200-guest, Vista. Delivered at Fincantieri’s shipyard in Genoa, Italy, Oceania Cruises’ initial Allura Class ship features several firsts in the realms of dining, accommodation and guest experience.

Oceania Cruises has confirmed the name of its second Allura Class ship as Allura. The 1,200-guest vessel – a sister ship to Vista that premieres this May – will be the cruise line’s eighth vessel and will debut in 2025.

Oceania Cruises has offered glimpses of its first-ever suites dedicated to single travellers which will soon be bookable for guests cruising aboard Vista.

Oceania Cruises has unveiled the design and décor elements of the Veranda Staterooms, Penthouse Suites, Oceania Suites and Vista Suites aboard its new ship, Vista, expected to enter service in early 2023.

Oceania Cruises has provided a sneak-peek at the signature lounges, bars, and wellness facilities of Vista, the first of two new 1,200-guest Allura-Class ships, scheduled for delivery in 2023 and 2025.

A new Oceania Cruises’ circumnavigation of Australia is expected to be hot property among local cruisers when the itinerary goes on sale in coming days.
