Oceania Cruises has pulled back the curtain on Oceania Sonata, the first in a new class of ship it calls a New Era of Luxury at Sea. Set to debut in 2027, the vessel will be the first of four 1,390-guest luxury ships in a new Sonata Class.
Every detail has been composed to create an ambiance that feels both uplifting and indulgent, capturing the very essence of refined seagoing luxury, Oceania promises.
Oceania Sonata will embark on her maiden voyage in August 2027 as the ninth vessel in the Oceania fleet. She’s hailed as the line’s most spacious and amenity-rich to date. All guest suites and staterooms will have private verandas and 30 per cent of all accommodations on board will be suites.
“We are delighted to unveil Oceania Sonata, the start of our exciting next chapter, as we forge our fantastic future as leaders in luxury cruising,” said Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer of Oceania Cruises.“Each new ship offers an opportunity to reimagine and perfect the travel experience, and as the inaugural vessel of our Sonata Class, Oceania Sonata embodies our vision for the future – one defined by a passion for exquisite cuisine, exceptional service and immersive travel experiences – and we cannot wait to share more news in the coming weeks and months.”

Every detail has been composed to create an ambiance that feels both uplifting and indulgent, capturing the essence of refined seagoing luxury, Oceania promises. Blending grand, light-filled spaces that inspire celebration with serene enclaves designed for relaxation. Sonata’s grand atrium will rise all the way to the top of the ship, where a skylight allows natural light to flood the space.
Sonata features two new suite categories: Horizon Suite and Deluxe Penthouse Suite. Replacing 100 standard staterooms with 50 Horizon suites allows the ship’s total guest count to stay below 1,400, improving the crew-to-guest ratio and space ratio.
Guests can look forward to the dining venues and public spaces that have become synonymous with Oceania Cruises, including an elegant Grand Dining Room, along with signature specialty dining venues such as Jacques, the line’s French restaurant; pan-Asian Red Ginger; Polo Grill steakhouse; and Toscana, serving Italian specialties. But there will be more, with two new specialty dining concepts — to be revealed. In total there will be 10 culinary experiences.
Currently under construction by Fincantieri, the renowned Italian shipbuilder behind the celebrated Oceania Marina, Oceania Riviera, Oceania Vista and Oceania Allura, Oceania Sonata is scheduled to sail her first sailing in August 2027. The ship will accommodate 1,390 guests and be staffed by 855 officers and crew.
Additional details on never-before-featured-at-sea dining venues and experiences will be revealed in the coming months, Oceania says.
