Set to debut in 2027, the vessel will be the first of four 1,390-guest ships in the new Sonata Class, representing the next chapter in the line’s continued evolution of its intimate, luxurious ships.
Marking the ninth vessel in the Oceania Cruises fleet, Sonata will embark on her maiden voyage in August 2027. A true masterpiece of design, she will deliver a symphony of unforgettable experiences at sea, anchored by the brand’s hallmark passion for gastronomy and its legacy of serving The Finest Cuisine at Sea.
Blending grand, light-filled spaces that inspire celebration with serene enclaves designed for relaxation, Sonata is poised to resonate deeply with the most discerning travellers. Every detail has been composed to create an ambience that feels both uplifting and indulgent, capturing the very essence of refined seagoing luxury.
The new vessel will be the most spacious and amenity-rich to date, and 30% of all accommodations on board will be suites. Sonata will debut two brand-new suite categories, plus spectacularly reimagined Owner’s Suites.
Ensuring that all guest accommodations have a connection with the ever-changing seascapes and landscapes, each suite and stateroom will have a private and spacious veranda.
“We are delighted to unveil Sonata, the start of our exciting new 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, 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.”
Guests can look forward to many of the beloved dining venues and public spaces that have become synonymous with Oceania Cruises, including the elegant Grand Dining Room, as well as signature speciality dining venues such as Jacques, the line’s sophisticated French restaurant; pan-Asian Red Ginger; Polo Grill steakhouse; and Toscana, serving Italian specialities. Sonata will feature ten best-in-class culinary experiences, blending guest favourites with innovative new concepts that further the line’s enduring commitment to epicurean excellence.
Additional details on exclusive, never-before-featured-at-sea dining venues and experiences will be revealed in the coming months.
