Oceania Sonata Launches with Exciting New Transatlantic Itineraries
The new cruise ship, Oceania Sonata, has been unveiled for public viewing, alongside the announcement of its initial itineraries. Set to begin services in August 2027, the vessel is the first in Oceania Cruises’ new SONATA Class, featuring a series of 22 voyages that run from late summer through April 2028.
Bookings for these voyages will open on January 28, 2026. The itineraries offer options ranging from 7 to 16 days, emphasizing extended port stays to enhance passenger experiences.
The inaugural sailing of Oceania Sonata will commence from Civitavecchia-Rome on August 7, 2027, finishing in Trieste after 14 days of exploration at sea and in port. Highlights of the cruise include visits to Catania (Sicily), Valletta (Malta), Katakolon (Greece), Bar (Montenegro), and Zadar (Croatia).
During the subsequent European cruise season, the Sonata plans to call at significant cities such as Barcelona, Piraeus-Athens, and Lisbon, in addition to lesser-known ports in Greece, Slovenia, Albania, and Spain. Several overnight stays will enhance the experience in culturally rich cities like Istanbul, Livorno, and Bordeaux, allowing guests to delve deeper into the local lifestyle.
Following its Mediterranean journeys, Oceania Sonata will cross the Atlantic to Miami, launching adventures in the Caribbean and Latin America. The cruise will include popular destinations like Bridgetown (Barbados), Tortola (British Virgin Islands), and Puerto Quetzal (Guatemala), along with a daylight transit of the Panama Canal.
The Sonata is designed as a modified VISTA class ship, focusing on a mix of passenger comfort, public spaces, and coastal access, reflecting Oceania’s tradition of connecting diverse locations through thoughtfully crafted itineraries.
