Oceania Launches Sales for New Caribbean Cruise Ship 

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - September 13, 2023

Oceania Cruises has launched sales for what will be its newest cruise ship in the Caribbean: Allura, which will be joining the company’s fleet in 2025. 

The 1,200-guest Allura Class ship follows the recently-launched ship Vista. 

Allura will be heading to the Caribbean in the winter of 2025, home-porting in Miami. 

That Caribbean season will include stops in ports like Aruba, Curacao, Bonaire, Grenada, Barbados and Dominica, among others. 

“Excitement is already building in advance of Allura’s debut. This beautiful new addition to our family embodies the dynamic and dazzling future of Oceania Cruises. Allura heralds the ultimate evolution of our onboard experience, and her Inaugural Season is designed to entice curious world travelers, to allow them to reconnect with well-loved favorite destinations and discover new ones for the first time.”

The new ship will have a host of unique amenities, ranging from an onboard creperie to five different specialty dining venues. 

Oceania is the only major cruise line that has two Master Chefs of France, along with a ratio of one chef for every 10 guests. 

“Allura will continue the evolution of the Oceania Cruises experience. At their inception, our ships Marina and Riviera were heralded as two of the most beautiful and perfect cruise ships ever built; Vista, and now Allura, carry forward this vision, building on and embodying the evolution of perfection. We cannot wait to welcome Allura to the fleet.”
