Oceania Sonata deck 5 plan

The Upper Hall is a lounge-style social space located near the aft elevators on Deck 5. On other Oceania vessels, it’s a relaxed area furnished with comfortable seating and sometimes features a grand piano for live music and performances, making it a popular spot for impromptu concerts, casual drinks, or conversation throughout the day and evening. It’s typically served by a nearby bar (like Martinis), so guests can enjoy a beverage while unwinding in a quieter lounge setting separate from the larger show lounge or main bar areas. The Upper Hall thus functions as a gathering and relaxation spot where guests can mingle in a more intimate environment compared with larger entertainment venues.

The Boutiques on Deck 5 are duty-free onboard shops where guests can browse and purchase luxury goods and travel items during their cruise. These shops typically carry a range of merchandise such as fine jewelry, watches, perfumes and cosmetics, designer fashion, Oceania-branded souvenirs, gifts, and convenience products — all curated for a pleasant shopping experience at sea. The boutiques on Sonata are managed in a similar way to other Oceania ships, offering well-known brands and stylish items that make for great gifts or personal purchases while you’re onboard.

Martinis is a classic cocktail lounge and bar that fits right into Oceania Cruises’ elegant yet relaxed style of onboard nightlife. It is an intimate, sophisticated lounge focused on craft cocktails — especially martinis and other classic mixed drinks — served in a setting that feels a bit like a private club or upscale living-room bar. It’s furnished with comfortable seating and often features live piano music in the evenings, creating a cozy, convivial atmosphere perfect for a pre-dinner drink or a nightcap. Guests can expect an extensive martini list with numerous variations on the theme, and bartenders are experienced in preparing both traditional classics and inventive cocktail twists.

Artist Loft is a dedicated creative enrichment space where guests can explore their artistic side in a relaxed, supportive setting. It’s part of Oceania Cruises’ onboard enrichment program and functions as a studio‑like art center staffed by artists‑in‑residence who lead informal workshops in various artistic mediums such as painting with watercolors or oils, sketching, collage and other creative crafts. The sessions are designed so that all skill levels are welcome — from complete beginners to more experienced artists — and materials are typically provided for participants to work on projects inspired by the sea, destinations, or personal themes. These classes are usually offered during sea days and may run multiple times, giving guests opportunities to learn new techniques, develop their artistic talents and create pieces they can take home as unique keepsakes from their voyage.

Casino is the ship’s designated gaming and entertainment space where guests can try their luck at a variety of casino games and enjoy the lively atmosphere that comes with onboard gaming. Casinos on Oceania ships generally follow a Monte Carlo‑style casino concept, offering a mix of table games and slot machines in a stylish but relaxed setting that welcomes both experienced players and those new to gambling. In casinos on Oceania ships, you can typically find games such as blackjack, poker, roulette and assorted slot machines, and the staff are available to explain rules and help new players get started. These games are usually played for cash or credits loaded on your ship account, and casinos operate when the ship is in international waters (i.e., not while in port). Guests must be 18 years or older to enter and play. The casino space includes a Casino Bar where players can order drinks without leaving the gaming area, adding to the social atmosphere and making it a place not just for gaming but also for mingling and relaxing between rounds. 

Grand Lounge is one of the ship’s main public social spaces and serves as an elegant yet relaxed lounge bar area where guests can gather throughout the day and evening. It’s designed to be a comfortable, stylish venue furnished with plush seating, alcoves and contemporary décor, creating a refined atmosphere ideal for pre‑dinner drinks, casual conversation or meeting friends. The overall feel of the space blends sophistication with a warm, welcoming vibe, making it a favourite spot for guests to unwind away from the larger entertainment venues. The Grand Lounge includes a well‑stocked bar offering a range of wines, spirits and cocktails, and may host wine tastings or smaller musical performances, contributing to a lively yet intimate social setting. It offers a stylish and comfortable bar/lounge environment where guests can relax with a drink, enjoy light conversation, and soak up the elegant ambiance while cruising.

The Grand Dining Room is the ship’s main complimentary dining venue and a central part of the line’s celebrated culinary program. It continues Oceania’s long tradition of elegant, upscale dining that emphasizes wide‑ranging international cuisine and refined service. Designed to feel both sophisticated and welcoming, the Grand Dining Room is where many guests enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner in a beautifully appointed setting that reflects classic dining‑room style, often with thoughtful décor and an ambiance that feels like a fine restaurant ashore. The Grand Dining Room on this ship follows the same culinary philosophy seen across the fleet: menus that change daily, showcase seasonal ingredients and global flavors, and reflect “The Finest Cuisine at Sea®.” It’s a place where formal‑quality dishes — from delicate appetizers and fresh seafood to elegant entrées and decadent desserts — are served throughout the day as part of the cruise fare.
