Named to reflect the excitement of starting an immersive new
journey, Allura will entice guests to discover some of the world's
most captivating locations, enjoying the freedom of exploration while sailing
the open seas. Allura represents the eternal call of the mysterious
and the unknown. The luxurious new vessel will bring travelers a world of
enchantment where new adventures, familiar faces, off-the-beaten-path
destinations and more await.
"At Oceania Cruises, we are always looking for ways to evolve, elevate
and modernize our offerings to continuously surprise and delight our discerning
guests as they enjoy immersive new experiences," said Frank A. Del
Rio, President of Oceania Cruises. "We are thrilled with the incredible
demand we have witnessed for Allura's sister ship, Vista, with
her 2023 maiden season already sold out, and we know Allura will be
equally as popular with our guests.
The arrival of any new ship is the ideal time to look closely at what we
offer travelers. As we prepare to welcome Allura to the family, we
have already started planning exciting new elements to be added across the
fleet."
In true Oceania Cruises style, Allura will serve The Finest
Cuisine at Sea, boast exceptionally personalized service with warm and
welcoming staff, and feature captivating residential furnishings and decor as
she sails a variety of destination-rich itineraries. Measuring approximately
67,000 tons, Allura will accommodate 1,200 guests and be staffed by
800 officers and crew, offering industry-leading space and staff-to-guest
ratios.
Allura highlights include an array of inventive new dining
experiences including Ember, an upscale signature restaurant serving reimagined
American classics, and Aquamar Kitchen, both debuting on Vista in
May, as well as the largest standard staterooms and a new Chef's Studio.
Currently under construction by renowned shipbuilder Fincantieri S.p.A.
in Italy, the all-veranda vessel will sail her maiden voyage in spring
2025.
Details of Allura's inaugural season, which will feature an
intriguing array of marquee and boutique destinations across Europe and
the Americas, will be revealed this spring before going on sale in the summer.
Del Rio added, "Allura's inaugural journeys are designed
to appeal to all global travelers, whether they revel in the joy that comes
with reconnecting with favorite destinations or are excited to discover new
places and sights for the very first time."
