The Oceania Allura recently completed its first year of service for Oceania Cruises, having been delivered to the company on July 10, 2025.
A sister ship to the 2023-built Oceania Vista, the 1,200-passenger vessel was built at the Fincantieri shipyard in Sestri Ponente, Italy.
The vessel kicked off its maiden season in the Mediterranean a week after joining Oceania’s fleet, offering a six-night itinerary to Italy, Greece and Croatia.
After departing from Trieste, the maiden cruise included visits to Rijeka, Ravenna, Dubrovnik and Kotor before ending in Piraeus.
The Allura then operated a summer season in the region, offering additional itineraries to destinations in both the eastern and western Mediterranean.
In September, the 67,000-ton ship embarked on a repositioning voyage to New York City ahead of making its stateside debut.
The vessel then operated a fall season in Canada and New England before heading to PortMiami for the 2025-26 winter season.
Upon arriving in Florida, the Allura was christened by a group of Food & Wine Best New Chefs alumni, who were selected as the vessel’s godparents.
Oceania said the ceremony, which took place in Miami on November 13, 2025, became the first of its kind.
After returning to Europe earlier this year, the ship is currently offering itineraries in the Mediterranean departing from ports in Italy, Malta, Spain, Turkey and Greece.
The season runs through early December, when the Allura is scheduled to reposition to PortMiami for a second winter season sailing to the Caribbean.
The vessel’s schedule is highlighted by a series of seven- to 13-night itineraries to a wide range of destinations in the region, including Tortola in the British Virgin Islands and Gustavia in Saint Barthélemy.
The Allura will then return to the Mediterranean next March, kicking off a year-round cruise program in the region that runs through at least early 2029.
