Oceania Cruises is expanding its next-generation fleet with an order for a fifth Sonata Class vessel, scheduled for delivery in 2037. The new ship will be constructed by Fincantieri in Italy.
Sonata Class Vessels
Debuting in August 2027, the Sonata Class features more space for passengers, all-new suite categories and reimagined top-of-ship accommodations. The new Oceania Sonata also introduces two state-of-the-art culinary experiences: La Table par Maîtres Cuisiniers de France, the first restaurant at sea created in collaboration with Maîtres Cuisiniers de France; and Nikkei Kitchen, a vibrant culinary concept celebrating the fusion of Peruvian ingredients and refined Japanese techniques.
“Oceania Sonata will set a new benchmark for spaciousness, artistry and residential comfort,” said Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer of Oceania Cruises, in a media statement. “The record-setting demand for Oceania Sonata affirms that travelers are seeking choice, connection and authentic experiences. The addition of a fifth Sonata Class ship allows us to provide our guests even more enriching, experiential travel opportunities.”
Building on the success of Oceania Sonata, Oceania Arietta, her first sister ship, will open for sale in 2027.
Oceania Sonata’s inaugural season of sailings launching in August 2027 will showcase a blend of European and Caribbean destinations, from the capitals of Rome (Civitavecchia), Barcelona and Athens, to Paros and Koper, before transitioning westward to the Caribbean featuring Tortola and Bermuda, along with Latin American coastal spots such as Manzanillo and Puerto Quetzal, and a daylight Panama Canal transit.
