Culinary- and destination-focused cruise line Oceania Cruises has revealed plans for Vista, one of two new 1,200-guest Allura Class ships set to join its fleet. Currently under construction at Fincantieri, the luxury vessel will set sail in 2023, followed by its sister ship in 2025.

Named to reflect the dawn of a new age in travel, Vista will exemplify all the hallmarks of the Oceania Cruises experience that guests have come to expect, namely the operator’s signature F&B offering, billed as The Finest Cuisine at Sea. Spanning two decks, The Grand Dining Room is designed by Studio Dado to pay homage to early 20th century Parisian society through its contemporary interpretation of Belle Époque. The vessel will also feature nine additional culinary experiences, dramatic public spaces and residentially-inspired suites and staterooms, introducing several firsts for the brand in terms of dining and guest experience.

“The interiors offer guests a new elevated and more contemporary take on luxury,” explains Yohandel Ruiz, Founding Partner of Studio Dado. “A conscious effort was made to create spaces that feel rich, while providing more contemporary silhouettes. The spaces are timeless and inviting, with a sense of wonder and discovery. Architectural materials have been elevated and used in ways that have not typically been seen before. Whether it’s enveloping the grand atrium stair in subtle leather or creating custom crystal divider screens in the martini bar, guests will experience the richness of these architectural materials in ways they haven’t before,” Ruiz continues. “The materials have been elevated to an artform.”

According to Oceania’s President and CEO Bob Pinder, Vista represents a view to the future for the brand, and also pays homage to the officers and crew who played a pivotal role in the design of the ship, helping steer it from concept to design to reality.
