Oceania Cruises has released details of newly designed and reconfigured suite accommodations for Oceania Sonata, the first vessel in its forthcoming Sonata Class, scheduled to enter service in August 2027. The ship has been conceived with an increased emphasis on suite accommodation, with approximately one third of all staterooms falling into this category. At 86,000 gross tons, Oceania Sonata is designed to offer a high space-to-guest ratio, accommodating 1,390 passengers supported by a complement of 855 crew.
The company indicated that the suite layouts and overall design reflect feedback from past guests and are intended to balance spaciousness, functionality and contemporary luxury. The vessel has been positioned as a continuation of the brand’s focus on personalised service and refined onboard environments, supported by careful attention to detail in materials and finishes.
At the top end of the accommodation offering are four Owner’s Suites, each exceeding 2,500 square feet in size. Located at the aft corners of Decks 10 and 11, these suites are arranged to provide wide ocean views through large wraparound verandas. Each is configured with two separate bedrooms, including a primary suite with a king-size bed and a marble-finished bathroom, and a second bedroom with a queen-size bed, private facilities and direct access to the veranda through full-height glazing.
Also positioned at the stern are eight Vista Suites, ranging from approximately 1,500 to over 1,900 square feet. These suites feature expansive outdoor spaces and uninterrupted views aft, with interior layouts that include dedicated living and dining areas. Bathrooms are designed with double vanities, walk-in rainfall showers and soaking tubs, using marble and porcelain finishes throughout.
The ship will also introduce 16 redesigned Oceania Suites, offering between 1,000 and more than 1,400 square feet of interior and exterior space. These suites are arranged to provide a continuous flow between living, dining and sleeping areas, complemented by private teak verandas. Each includes a king-size bed and a marble-appointed bathroom.
A new accommodation category, the Horizon Suite, has been developed for Oceania Sonata. The 50 suites in this category offer more than 600 square feet of space and are positioned between the Penthouse and Oceania Suite levels. Their layouts incorporate separate living and sleeping areas, walk-through wardrobe spaces and enlarged verandas furnished for extended outdoor use.
Completing the suite inventory are 63 Penthouse Suites and 82 Penthouse Deluxe Suites, measuring 426 and 488 square feet respectively. These units feature open living areas, floor-to-ceiling glass doors and private verandas, designed to maximise natural light and sea views.
All suites aboard Oceania Sonata will be supported by dedicated butler service. In addition, Owner’s, Vista, Oceania and Horizon Suites will be equipped with in-suite illy coffee machines. Across the full range of accommodations, guests will also have access to the cruise line’s next-generation Tranquility Beds and Aquamar bath amenities, reinforcing a consistent standard of comfort throughout the vessel.
