Oceania’s Allura Sets Sail for Culinary-Themed Voyages in 2025

Oceania Cruises is set to launch its latest vessel, Allura, in July 2025, marking the 8th addition to its fleet. Designed to cater to the growing demand for immersive, culturally rich, and destination-focused travel experiences, Allura will commence her inaugural season with a series of voyages across the Mediterranean, followed by transatlantic crossings and Caribbean itineraries.

Constructed at Fincantieri’s shipyard in Italy, Allura embodies a blend of elegance and intimacy. The ship boasts all-veranda accommodations, ensuring that each of the 1,200 guests enjoys expansive ocean views. The vessel’s design emphasizes spaciousness and comfort, with refined interiors and state-of-the-art amenities.

Allura’s maiden voyage is scheduled to depart from Trieste, Italy, on July 18, 2025. This 6-night journey will navigate the Adriatic Sea, making calls at Rijeka, Dubrovnik, and Kotor, before concluding in Piraeus, Greece. Subsequent itineraries will explore various Mediterranean destinations, including Italy, Greece, Croatia, France, and Spain, offering curated shore excursions that highlight local cuisine, history, and natural beauty.

In September 2025, Allura will embark on her first transatlantic crossing. Departing from Lisbon, Portugal, the 14-night voyage will include stops in the Portuguese archipelagos of Madeira and the Azores, followed by visits to Halifax, Portland, and Boston, before arriving in New York City. This journey is timed to coincide with the region’s fall foliage season, providing passengers with scenic coastal landscapes.

Following her transatlantic voyage, Allura will reposition to the Caribbean for the winter 2025–2026 season. Operating from PortMiami, the ship will offer a range of itineraries lasting from 7 to 14 nights, exploring various islands across the eastern and western Caribbean.

Onboard, Allura emphasizes culinary excellence, featuring multiple dining venues that showcase a variety of global cuisines. The ship also houses the Aquamar Spa + Vitality Center, a holistic wellness facility that includes treatment areas, a fitness center, and an open-air deck with plunge pools and whirlpool spas.

With its launch, Allura aims to redefine modern luxury cruising by offering intimate voyages that combine exceptional service, innovative cuisine, and culturally enriching experiences.
