Oceania Cruises has ordered two more Sonata-class ships, to be delivered in 2032 and 2035.
The first, the 1 390-passenger Oceania Sonata, is set to embark on its maiden voyage in summer 2027. This will be followed by the launch of the second Sonata ship, the Oceania Arietta, which is expected to join the fleet in 2029.
The two ships will be constructed by Oceania's longtime shipbuilder, Fincantieri.
"These four Sonata-class ships will herald the next stage in the evolution of the Oceania Cruises brand of exceptional, small-ship, luxury experiences," said Jason Montague, Oceania Cruises’ Chief Luxury Officer.
Oceania Allura joins the fleet
Oceania, meanwhile, took delivery of its eighth ship, the Oceania Allura, on July 10, in Genoa, Italy.
The Allura's maiden voyage starts on July 18 in Trieste, Italy, and its inaugural season includes 26 voyages in the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Canada and New England.
The 1 200-guest Oceania Allura, also built at the Fincantieri Shipyard in Genoa, is the second ship in Oceania Cruises’ Allura Class and follows sister ship, Oceania Vista, which was launched in May 2023.
