Oceania Cruises has ordered a fifth Sonata Class ship from Fincantieri, set to be delivered in 2037! The order comes after strong demand for Oceania Sonata, which had the cruise lines biggest booking day when it opened for sale in January. The new ship will be part of the line’s next-generation fleet, offering more space, additional suites, and dining options.
Oceania Sonata is scheduled to launch in August 2027. The Sonata Class ships will be about one-third larger than previous vessels and will introduce new suite categories, redesigned upper deck accommodations, and expanded dining venues.
“Oceania Sonata will set a new benchmark for spaciousness, artistry and residential comfort,” said Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer of Oceania Cruises. “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.”
