Oceania Cruises To Welcome ‘Vista’ To Its Fleet

Oceania Cruises, the world’s leading culinary and destination-focused cruise line, has revealed the name of the first of two new 1,200-guest Allura Class ships that are being constructed by renowned Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri S.p.A. Named to reflect a new age in travel, Vista will be the seventh luxury vessel in the fleet, setting sail in 2023. A sister ship will join her in 2025.

Vista will exemplify all the hallmarks of the Oceania Cruises experience that guests have come to expect. A marvel in the making, Vista will deliver ‘The Finest Cuisine at Sea’, exceptionally personalised service with two staff members for every three guests, a warm and welcoming ambience, and will introduce several unique firsts for the brand in the realms of dining and guest experience.

“Oceania Cruises is an innovative and ever-evolving brand. We are always looking over the horizon, and Vista represents our view to the future,” stated Bob Binder, president & CEO of Oceania Cruises.

Consumers and travel advisors can expect to be wowed by the dramatic and glamorous public spaces such as The Grand Dining Room, which soars almost two decks in height and pays homage to the “beautiful age” of the early 20^th Century Parisian society through its contemporary interpretation of Belle Époque.

Vista’s nine additional best-in-class culinary experiences, luxurious signature public spaces, and spacious, residentially inspired suites and staterooms will be revealed starting in May 2021, with her inaugural voyages opening for sale in September 2021. 

“Our officers and crew are always bringing great new ideas to the forefront and then implementing them. More than any other part of the Oceania Cruises organisation, we owe our success to our onboard teams. They are the ones who made Vista possible, and it is a credit to them, these true visionaries of the seven seas, that we name the ship for them, in their honour,” added Binder. 

Currently under construction by Fincantieri S.p.A. in Italy, Vista will sail her first commercial voyage in early 2023. Measuring approximately 67,000 gross registered tons, the ship will accommodate 1,200 guests and be staffed by 800 officers and crew, offering industry-leading space and staff-to-guest ratios.
