Oceania Cruises welcomed Vista, the first of its two new 1,200-guest Allura Class ships, constructed by Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri S.p.A. As the seventh ship for the cruise line, Vista will set sail in 2023, followed by a sister ship in 2025.
Vista will deliver exceptional cuisine, personalized service with two staff members for every three guests, residential furnishings and several firsts for the brand in the realms of dining and guest experiences. The Grand Dining Room will soar almost two decks and its décor will honor early 20th-century Parisian society. More of Vista’s culinary experiences, public spaces, and suites and staterooms will be revealed in May 2021, and the inaugural voyages open for sale in September.
Vista is set to sail its first commercial voyage in early 2023, accommodating 1,200 guests and 800 officers and crew.
“Our officers and crew are always bringing great new ideas to the forefront and then implementing them. More than any other part of the Oceania Cruises organization, we owe our success to our onboard teams. They are the ones who made Vista possible, and it is a credit to them, these true visionaries of the seven seas, that we name the ship for them, in their honor,” said Bob Binder, president and CEO, Oceania Cruises.

Mar 28, 2024Cruise Lines Elevate the Onboard Fine-Dining Experience
It’s been a long time since the food on cruise ships resembled the bland, uninspired fare that gave onboard dining a bad name. These days, cruise passengers can look forward to menus created by Michelin-starred chefs made with top-quality ingredients served in stunning spaces. Choices abound as well. In addition to elegant main dining rooms, cruise ships have created a huge array of specialty restaurants that focus not only on perfectly executed traditional European and North American dishes but flavors and experiences from around the globe as well. In fact, meals served aboard cruise vessels have gotten so good, they’re drawing passengers onto ships: According to a recent report by luxury travel planning network Virtuoso, advisors report after Europe (specifically Italy and France), the No. 2 dining destination for travelers is aboard an ocean or river cruise. “This shows how cruise lines have really stepped up their culinary game, with consulting chefs and new restaurants and making that a focal point,” said Misty Belles, vice president, Global Public Relations, Virtuoso.
