| Singing a new Sonata

OCEANIA Cruises has unveiled substantially evolved suites aboard its upcoming Oceania Sonata, the first ship in her namesake new class.

The vessel is set to debut in Aug 2027, offering a greater variety and number of suites, as first flagged by CW late last year on board the christening voyage of Oceania Allura (CW 18 Nov).

A third of Sonata’s accommodations will be dedicated to suites, with the ship set to carry 1,390 guests in total.

The four Owner’s suites, each sprawling over 230m2, will command the aft corners of decks 10 and 11, offering sweeping 180-degree views over the ocean from their wraparound verandas.

Each Owner’s suite will feature two bedrooms – a first for Oceania – including a master with a king-size bed, and spa-inspired bathroom; as well as a guest bedroom with a queen-size bed, private bath, and floor-to-ceiling glass doors opening onto the private veranda.

Sonata’s eight Vista suites, ranging from around 140m2 to around 175m2, are terraced at the aft of the ship, treating guests to uninterrupted ocean views from their veranda.

Interiors boast plush furnishings and intricate marble accents, complemented by generous living and dining areas.

Amenities in the master bathroom include double vanities, a rainforest shower, and a porcelain soaking tub.

There will be 16 reimagined Oceania suites, ranging from around 90m2 to around 130m2, providing large living, dining, and bedroom spaces, and a private teak veranda.

Each suite is finished with a king-size bed and a marble-clad bathroom (pictured).

Sonata will also introduce an all-new accommodation category: 50 Horizon suites, which will sit between the Penthouse and Oceania categories.

Horizon suites are set to offer around 55m2 of living and bedroom space, including a walk-in wardrobe and an oversized veranda, appointed with luxurious lounging furniture. MS
