Oceania Cruises has announced its eighth vessel and the sister ship to Vista, which sets sail in May 2023.
The second 1,200-guest Allura Class ship, named Allura, will debut in 2025. The cruise line said that the ship was named to “reflect the excitement of starting an immersive new journey.”
Frank A. Del Rio, President of Oceania Cruises, said: “At Oceania Cruises, we are always looking for ways to evolve, elevate and modernise our offerings to continuously surprise and delight our discerning guests as they enjoy immersive new experiences.
“We are thrilled with the incredible demand we have witnessed for Allura’s sister ship, Vista, with her 2023 maiden season already sold out, and we know Allura will be equally as popular with our guests.
The arrival of any new ship is the ideal time to look closely at what we offer travellers. As we prepare to welcome Allura to the family, we have already started planning exciting new elements to be added across the fleet.”
Allura will serve The Finest Cuisine at Sea, boast exceptionally personalised service with warm and welcoming staff, and feature captivating residential furnishings and decor.
Measuring approximately 67,000 tons, Allura will accommodate 1,200 guests and be staffed by 800 officers and crew, offering industry-leading space and staff-to-guest ratios.
Highlights include an array of inventive new dining experiences including Ember, an upscale signature restaurant serving reimagined American classics, and Aquamar Kitchen, and the largest standard staterooms and a new Chef’s Studio.
Currently, under construction by renowned shipbuilder Fincantieri S.p.A. in Italy, the all-veranda vessel will sail her maiden voyage in spring 2025.
Details of Allura’s inaugural season will be revealed this spring before going on sale in the summer. According to Del Rio, Allura’s inaugural journeys are designed to appeal to all global travellers.
