Oceania Cruises places order for fifth Sonata Class ship 

Oceania Cruises has placed an order for its fifth Sonata Class ship with Fincantieri shipbuilders, scheduled for delivery in 2037, underscoring global demand for the line’s next-generation fleet.

The announcement comes in the wake of a record launch day for Oceania Sonata in January, reflecting enthusiasm from discerning travellers and valued travel partners.

Reinforcing the direction of the brand, the order of the fifth Sonata Class ship builds on the remarkable momentum of Oceania Sonata, expanding opportunities for guests seeking more space, more choice and more serenity at sea, an experience Oceania Cruises is uniquely positioned to deliver.

Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer of Oceania Cruises, said that: “Oceania Sonata will set a new benchmark for spaciousness, artistry and residential comfort. The record-setting demand for Oceania Sonata affirms that travellers 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.”

Debuting in August 2027, the Sonata Class ushers in a new era of elevated luxury with one third more space, all new suite categories and reimagined top of ship accommodations. This evolution expands the breadth of guest choice, from an increased selection of culinary concepts to a wider array of suites and staterooms, complemented by enhanced experiential offerings across the fleet.

Oceania Sonata’s inaugural season of sailings launching in August 2027 will showcase a sweeping blend of European and Caribbean destinations, from the cultural capitals of Rome (Civitavecchia), Barcelona and Athens (Piraeus), to hidden gems including Paros and Koper, before transitioning westward to a diverse Caribbean roster featuring Tortola and Bermuda, along with Latin American coastal spots such as Manzanillo and Puerto Quetzal, capped by a daylight Panama Canal transit.
