Fincantieri and Oceania Cruises – a brand of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. – celebrated the delivery of Oceania Allura yesterday at the Sestri Ponente shipyard. The ship is the latest addition to the shipowner's fleet and is a sister ship to Oceania Vista, delivered by the same shipyard in 2023.

The ceremony was attended by Pierroberto Folgiero, CEO and General Manager of Fincantieri, Luigi Matarazzo, General Manager of Fincantieri's Merchant Shipping Division, Harry Sommer, President and CEO of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd., and Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd.

With a gross tonnage of approximately 68,000 tons, a length of 246 meters, and a capacity of 1,200 guests in 600 cabins, Oceania Allura represents a further step forward in Oceania Cruises' commitment to an offering that combines elegance, fine dining, and destination-focused voyages. The interiors, featuring refined and welcoming spaces, have been designed to ensure the luxury and intimacy typical of the brand's small cruise ships, with a refreshed and contemporary design. The new ship also stands out for its high level of innovation, designed with sustainability in mind.

With the two recently ordered cruise ships, Oceania Cruises' expansion plan now includes a total of four next-generation ships, with deliveries scheduled between 2027 and 2035. This achievement demonstrates the strength of a long-term industrial strategy and reflects a lasting, future-oriented partnership.

Already under construction at the Marghera shipyard is the Oceania Sonata, the first ship of the new Sonata class, which will accommodate 1,390 passengers and be delivered in 2027. Her sister ship, Oceania Arietta, will follow in 2029.
