When Oceania Allura joins the Oceania fleet in summer 2025 it will be the second of the line's all-new Allura-class vessels. It is the sister ship to Oceania Vista, which debuted in 2023 as Oceania's first new ship in a decade. The 1,200-passenger vessel Oceania Allura, with two crew members for every three passengers, is the line's eighth ship and will showcase new dining venues and cabin categories introduced on Vista. Oceania said the 11-deck ship had been named to reflect the excitement of starting an immersive new journey.
Oceania Allura Deck Plans Feature Large Standard Staterooms and Solo Cabins
Under construction at Italy's Fincantieri shipyard, all of Oceania Allura's 612 staterooms located over six decks have balconies. Standard cabins lead in at a spacious 290 square feet. The vessel will have a new category of Concierge Level Solo Veranda staterooms for single travelers. There are six of these cabins, measuring 270 square feet, and they feature a seating area, separate bedroom, bathroom with a tub and perks including access to the exclusive Concierge Lounge and free laundry.
Situated forward on decks 8, 9, 10 and 12, the eight Vista Suites offer 180 degree views. Ranging in size from 1,450 to 1,850 square feet, these accommodations include a dining room and bar area that opens onto a teak veranda. The largest suites on the ship are the three Owner's Suites, styled by Ralph Lauren Home and spanning the entire width of the back of the vessel on decks 8, 9 and 10. These 2,389-square-foot staterooms have a double-door entry leading into a foyer and include a separate bedroom, dining room and living room, cocktail bar and spa-style bathroom. There is 24-hour butler service to all Vista level and above suites.
