New Sonata Class ship to debut in 2027 with European and Caribbean voyages now available for preview

Oceania Cruises has revealed a first look at the maiden season of Oceania Sonata™, the first ship in its new Sonata Class, set to debut in August 2027. The itineraries are now available to preview online, with bookings opening on January 28, 2026.

The inaugural season spans 22 voyages from August 2027 to April 2028, covering more than 90 destinations on sailings ranging from seven to 16 days. The 1,390-guest ship will travel through iconic European capitals and coastal towns before continuing to the Caribbean, Mexico, and Central and South America.

“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 Sonata Class ships, her debut sets the tone for thoughtfully designed itineraries, exceptional comfort and an unrushed freedom to explore.”

Destination-rich itineraries from Europe to the Americas

Oceania Sonata’s maiden voyage departs Rome (Civitavecchia) on August 7, 2027, on a 14-day journey to Trieste, calling at destinations such as Valletta, Katakolon, Bar and Zadar. Throughout her European season, the ship will combine well-known cities including Barcelona, Athens and Lisbon with lesser-visited ports such as Paros, Koper and Sarandë. Overnight stays in destinations like Istanbul, Bordeaux and Livorno allow for deeper cultural immersion.

Following her Mediterranean program, Oceania Sonata will cross the Atlantic to Miami to begin her inaugural tropical season. Caribbean favorites such as Bridgetown and Tortola are paired with destinations in Mexico and Central America, including a daylight transit of the Panama Canal.

A new benchmark for Oceania Cruises

Designed as the most innovative ship in the fleet, Oceania Sonata continues the line’s focus on destination-rich travel, elevated comfort and culinary excellence. With one chef for every eight guests and a wide range of complimentary dining venues, cuisine remains central to the onboard experience, supported by expanded social spaces and enrichment offerings.

With the launch of Oceania Sonata, Oceania Cruises enters a new chapter, combining small-ship luxury with a fresh generation of itineraries across Europe and the Americas.
