Oceania Cruises said it had achieved record-breaking booking levels on January 28, 2026, the opening day of reservations for its newest ship, the Oceania Sonata.

The company said that this surpassed the launch-day bookings of Oceania Cruises’ previous new ship, Oceania Allura, by 45 percent.

“I’m absolutely thrilled by the exceptional results that Oceania Sonata has produced – we knew that luxury travelers were extremely eager to take their place on the inaugural season voyages of this remarkable ship,” said Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer of Oceania Cruises.

“Oceania Sonata promises to usher in a new era of experiential travel, and we cannot wait until she joins the fleet in August 2027. I’d like to thank our valued guests and travel partners for their incredible enthusiasm, which fueled these amazing results.”

Set to embark on her maiden voyage in August 2027, the company said the Oceania Sonata marks the next evolution of Oceania Cruises’ acclaimed fleet, ushering in a new era of refined elegance at sea. She will be followed by three sister ships, Oceania Arietta, scheduled to join the fleet in 2029, and two further as-yet-unnamed Sonata class vessels in 2032 and 2035.
