Allura

Allura is the second Allura-class ship, joining Oceania Cruises in 2025 as a sister to Vista. She follows the same recipe: a mid-sized, adults-oriented ship with refined, residential interiors and one of the most ambitious dining programs at sea. Oceania’s food-first approach shows everywhere, from a dedicated wellness café to a large Culinary Center with hands-on classes. Generous standard staterooms, well-stocked suites and dedicated rooms for solo travelers are part of the class design. Expect a quiet, cultured atmosphere with low-key evening entertainment rather than waterslides or splashy shows, and itineraries built around port-intensive routes in Europe, the Caribbean and beyond.

Best for: Food-loving couples and solo travelers who want a new, elegant mid-sized ship and port-rich itineraries without a formal dress code.

Oceania Cruises is an upper-premium line built around food and destinations: small to mid-size ships, specialty restaurants with no extra charge, and long, port-rich itineraries around the world. Fares include gratuities, Wi-Fi and soft drinks, and the dress code is relaxed country-club casual. It suits food-loving, well-traveled adults, mostly over 55, and isn’t designed for families or nightlife.
