Oceania Cruises has unveiled the signature lounges, bars, and wellness facilities of Vista, the first of two new 1,200-guest Allura Class ships that are being constructed Fincantieri in Italy, with the 67,000-gross-ton, 1,200-guest luxury vessel, the seventh for the line, setting sail in 2023 and a second Allura Class ship debuting in 2025.
Bob Binder, President & CEO of Oceania Cruises said, “Our guests have a passion for new experiences and destinations while also loving to travel to familiar places and seeing them from new directions”, and “That drove every aspect of designing Vista, to present a sense of familiarity imbued with unique elements and fresh perspectives”.
Oceania Cruises says that purposely designed to deliver the brand’s hallmark small-ship luxury experience, Vista features a wide variety of social, recreation, and wellness spaces oriented across six of the ship’s 11 guest decks and a mixture of both grand and cosy spaces presents guests with a room for every mood and purpose, whether one seeks an intimate getaway spot to enjoy a quiet read, a tony bar for evening cocktails, or to dance the night away with newfound friends.
An iconic element of the Oceania Cruises brand, Oceania Cruises says The Grand Staircase is where every new Oceania Cruises journey begins, with sleek curves and elegant details define the grandest of beginnings. A glistening floor-to-ceiling pillar of crystal and light sets the tone for the ship and the guest experience.
So much more than the name conveys, Oceania Cruises’ reimagined Martini’s bar is a true destination aboard Vista. Convivial gathering spaces are nestled among walls of shimmering glass, and custom sculptural lighting casts a warm glow over the heart of the bar. Sophistication, glamour, and elegance serve as a backdrop for extraordinary evenings.
Evoking the feeling of a private club, The Grand Lounge features sleek alcoves enhanced by a gold-infused colour palette, sculptural lighting, and elegant lines. It is a relaxing yet elegant lounge that invites guests to unwind before an unforgettable dinner or enjoy a nightcap with fellow explorers.
Layers of luxury come to life through the golden grandeur and art nouveau-inspired touches in Vista’s elegantly evolved Casino. The energised excitement 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.
The dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows and inspiring silhouettes in Horizons celebrate the journey. Guests will be awed by sweeping 180-degree views whether they’re sharing travel stories over afternoon tea, taking in sights along the way, or enjoying a lively musical performance.
The Pool Deck creates the perfect onboard escape. Guests may revel in the solitude of a uniquely modern beach-club cabana, go for a refreshing swim, or gather with friends poolside. The variety of textures and soothing natural tones come together in a natural oasis to reconnect with nature.
The Aquamar Spa + Vitality Center offers a host of tranquil treatment areas, state-of-the-art workout and personal training spaces as well as a spacious new salon and barbershop. The indulgent spa terrace with sweeping sea views confirms that rejuvenation guided every aspect of Oceania Cruises’ first purpose-built holistic wellness centre.
