Oceania Cruises has unveiled a first look at the itineraries of Oceania Sonata, the first of its all-new Sonata Class, debuting August 2027.
Now available online for preview with bookings opening on January 28, Oceania Sonata’s inaugural season features 22 sailings from August 2027 through April 2028, spanning more than 90 destinations on voyages ranging from 7 to 16 days.
Ushering in a new chapter for the luxury line, the 1,390-guest vessel will trace a route through the capitals and enchanting coastal towns of Europe to vibrant ports across the Caribbean, Mexico, and Central and South America.
“Oceania Sonata’s inaugural season is defined by the cultural diversity and geographic variety of the destinations she visits,” said Jason Montague, Oceania’s Chief Luxury Officer.

Maintaining the Line’s Destination-Rich Philosophy
Oceania Sonata’s maiden voyage will set sail from Rome (Civitavecchia) on August 7, 2027, beginning a 14-day journey to Trieste. Highlighted ports of call include Catania, Italy; Valletta, Malta; Katakolon, Greece; Bar, Montenegro; and the Croatian port of Zadar.
The ship’s inaugural season will see her visit storied European cities including Barcelona, Spain; Athens, Greece; and Lisbon, Portugal alongside lesser-known ports such as Paros, Greece; Koper, Slovenia; Sarandë, Albania; and Palamós, Spain.
Thanks to an abundance of overnight stays, guests can dive deeper into the culture, gastronomy and heritage of destinations including Istanbul, Turkey; Livorno, Italy; and Bordeaux, France.
Following her Mediterranean sailings, Oceania Sonata will transit the Atlantic to Miami where she will begin her inaugural tropical season. Ports of call include long-standing guest favourites in the Caribbean such as Bridgetown, Barbados, and Tortola, British Virgin Islands; plus hidden gems across Latin America like Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa, Mexico, and Puerto Quetzal, Guatemala; as well as sailing a daylight transit through the Panama Canal – a must-do on many travellers’ bucket lists.
