Oceania Cruises has unveiled new entertainment options aboard Vista, the first of two ships in the new Allura Class. In addition to introducing new signature dining options, destination-rich itineraries, and luxurious standard accommodations, Oceania Cruises is revamping Vista’s entertainment program, beginning with three designer shows launching in 2023. “Headliners,” “The Anchor Inn,” and “Into the Night” are Broadway productions featuring recognizable songs from some of the world’s most beloved artists and contemporary dance numbers directed by “Dancing with the Stars” choreographer Britt Stewart.
“With Vista, our first new ship in more than a decade, we’ve been working on how to raise the bar even higher in every department,” said Frank A. Del Rio, President of Oceania Cruises. “Renowned for our stunning design, culinary offerings, and intriguing itineraries, it was time to bring that same ‘wow’ factor to our entertainment programming. This new lineup is groundbreaking for us, and these three new productions are just the beginning. We’re thrilled to unveil our new series of elevated entertainment for our guests to enjoy aboard Vista.”
The Vista will feature three main productions when it launches in May, each with a distinct personality, followed by another later this year. Created by a dedicated team for each show, a large team of performers, producers, and technicians has been involved in bringing Oceania Cruises' new entertainment to life.
“Into the Night,” choreographed by renowned professional dancer and “Dancing with the Stars” choreographer Britt Stewart, is a dance-centric spectacle that blends dance, style, and design, aiming to evoke the excitement of the Video Music Awards, the glamour of “American Idol,” and the energy of “Dancing with the Stars.” The show’s contemporary elegance draws inspiration from the essence of Vista itself.
“Headliners” takes guests on a VIP concert journey where the cast performs some of the most well-known songs. Celebrating music, Headliners brings pop favorites closer to the audience. Led by the vocalists on board the Vista, guests can enjoy the music of artists such as Cher, Celine Dion, the Bee Gees, and Adele.
“The Anchor Inn” is a UK-centric sing-and-dance show with a West End feel. Set in the Anchor Inn pub, a group of regulars celebrate good times, sporting defeats, and romantic victories to the tunes of hits by artists such as Dusty Springfield, Rod Stewart, Madness, Shirley Bassey, and Tom Jones.
Later this year, another educational production titled The Music Triangle will premiere, which tells the story of the roots of almost every hit song.
The Vista, with a capacity for 1,200 passengers, will set sail on its maiden voyage on May 13, 2023 from Rome.
