Oceania Cruises has announced the design of the common areas, bars, and spa on the Vista, the first of two new Allura-class ships, with a capacity for 1,200 passengers, being built by the prestigious Italian shipyard Fincantieri SpA. This luxurious 67,000-gross-ton ship, the seventh in the fleet, will be launched in 2023. A second Allura-class ship will debut in 2025.
“Our guests are passionate about new experiences and destinations, but they also enjoy traveling to familiar places and seeing them from new perspectives. This has inspired every aspect of Vista’s design, to offer a sense of familiarity with unique elements and new perspectives,” said Bob Binder, President and CEO of Oceania Cruises.
Designed to deliver the luxurious experience typical of smaller ships, Vista boasts a wide variety of communal leisure and wellness spaces spread across six of its 11 passenger decks. A blend of spacious areas and cozy nooks offers passengers the perfect setting for every mood and purpose, from an intimate spot for quiet reading to a luxurious cocktail bar for dancing with new friends in the evening.
The Grand Staircase. An iconic feature of Oceania Cruises, the Grand Staircase is where every new cruise begins aboard Oceania Cruises. Its elegant curves and details define the grandest of beginnings. A shimmering pillar of glass and light that rises from floor to ceiling sets the tone for the ship and the passengers' perception.
Martinis: A Classic Reimagined. Much more than the name suggests, our reimagined Martinis Bar is a true destination aboard Vista. The different gathering spaces are separated by shimmering glass walls, and sculptural, custom-made lighting casts a warm glow over the heart of the bar. Sophistication, glamour, and elegance provide the perfect backdrop for extraordinary evenings.
The Grand Lounge. Evoking the feeling of being in a private club, the Grand Lounge features elegant corners enhanced by a golden color palette, delicate lighting, and sleek design lines. It is a relaxed and elegant lounge that invites guests to unwind before an unforgettable dinner or enjoy a drink with fellow explorers.
Casino + Casino Bar. Luxury comes alive through gilded elegance and Art Nouveau- at the sophisticated Vista Casino. The energy is palpable in this enclave designed for those drawn to exciting games of chance and skill, as well as those simply seeking a refined space to enjoy a cocktail.
Horizons. The spectacular floor-to-ceiling windows and inspiring silhouettes of Horizons celebrate sailing. Guests will be amazed by the majestic 180-degree views, whether sharing travel stories over afternoon tea, gazing out to sea, or enjoying a lively musical performance.
Pool deck. Reflecting the beauty of the surrounding sea, the pool deck creates the perfect onboard escape. Passengers can enjoy the tranquility of our modern cabanas, take a refreshing dip, or gather with friends by the pool. The variety of textures and soothing natural tones come together in a natural oasis for reconnecting with nature.
Aquamar Spa + Vitality Center. Designed for the perfect wellness journey, the Aquamar Spa + Vitality Center offers a range of tranquil treatment areas, modern personal training spaces, and a spacious new beauty salon and hair salon. The inviting spa terrace with sweeping sea views confirms that rejuvenation has guided every aspect of our first holistic wellness center.
In the coming weeks, Vista's new dining experiences will be revealed, along with its innovative and spacious suites and staterooms with a residential inspiration, and its inaugural voyages will go on sale in September 2021.
Currently under construction by Fincantieri SpA in Italy, the Vista will embark on its maiden voyage in early 2023. At approximately 67,000 gross tons, the ship will accommodate 1,200 guests and have a crew of 800, offering industry-leading space and staff-to-guest ratios. A sister ship will debut in 2025.
