Oceania Cruises has unveiled the first itineraries for Oceania Sonata, the first ship in its new Sonata Class, debuting in August 2027!
Available online for preview, with bookings opening January 28, 2026, the inaugural season includes 22 sailings from August 2027 through April 2028, visiting more than 90 destinations on 7- to 16-day voyages.
The 1,390-guest ship will sail from Europe to the Caribbean, Mexico, and Central and South America, with overnight stays and extended time ashore.
“Oceania Sonata’s inaugural season is defined by the cultural diversity and geographic variety of the destinations she visits,” said Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer of Oceania Cruises. “As the first of four ships in the Sonata Class, her premiere sets the tone for thoughtfully designed itineraries, exceptional comfort, and meaningful, unrushed freedom to explore the world that highlight the continued evolution of Oceania Cruises.”
Itinerary Highlights
Oceania Sonata’s maiden voyage departs Rome (Civitavecchia) on August 7, 2027, for a 14-day journey to Trieste, calling at Catania, Valletta, Katakolon, Bar, and Zadar.
The ship will visit iconic European cities such as Barcelona, Athens, and Lisbon, as well as lesser-known ports like Paros, Koper, Sarandë, and Palamós. With numerous overnight stays, guests can immerse themselves in local culture, cuisine, and heritage in destinations including Istanbul, Livorno, and Bordeaux.
After Mediterranean sailings, Oceania Sonata crosses the Atlantic to Miami for her tropical season, calling at Caribbean favorites like Bridgetown and Tortola, along with hidden gems such as Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa and Puerto Quetzal. The season also includes a daylight transit through the Panama Canal.
