Oceania Cruises has revealed the inaugural season of sailings for its new ship, Allura, after it joins the fleet in summer 2025.
The 26 inaugural season cruises will visit more than 92 destinations and range between seven to 34 days in length. These include Allura’s maiden voyage, which will be a seven-day cruise from Athens, Greece, to Istanbul, Turkey, departing on 8 June 2025 and visiting Santorini, Heraklion and Rhodes in Greece and Bodrum, Ephesus and Canakkale in Turkey.
Allura will sail several more itineraries in the Mediterranean before embarking on the ‘Explorer’s Grand Crossing’, a cruise from Rome to New York departing on 27 August 2025 that will last for 34 days and visit destinations in Italy, Spain, France, Morrocco, Portugal and the USA.
The ship will then sail an extended season in North America before spending the winter in the Caribbean.
“Excitement is already building in advance of Allura’s debut,” said Frank A. Del Rio, president of Oceania Cruises. “This beautiful new addition to our family embodies the dynamic and dazzling future of Oceania Cruises. Allura heralds the ultimate evolution of our onboard experience, and her Inaugural Season is designed to entice curious world travellers, to allow them to reconnect with well-loved favourite destinations and discover new ones for the first time.”
