Oceania Cruises has announced an extensive array of new 2025 Europe sailings. The itineraries, ranging from 6 to 34 days, will take guests to a variety of destinations across the continent, including islands, fjords, resort towns, and cities.
A highlight of the 2025 season will be the debut of Oceania’s newest ship, the 67,000-gross-ton Allura, which will embark on its maiden voyage from Trieste, Italy, in mid-July 2025, following her competition at Fincantieri Shipyard in Genoa, Italy.
Following her maiden voyage, Allura will sail on a series of Mediterranean voyages. Meanwhile, her sister ships, Vista and Marina, will start the season in Mediterreanean before heading north to the British Isles, Iceland, and Scandinavia.
Nautica, a smaller ship with a capacity for 670 guests, will explore the Mediterranean, Adriatic, and Aegean Seas, while the 684-passenger Sirena and Insignia will head to Northern Europe and Iceland, respectively.
“We are thrilled to have this rich lineup of Europe sailings on such a wonderful choice of ships for next year,” said Frank A. Del Rio, president of Oceania Cruises. “Europe has always been a favorite for our well-traveled and curious guests, who eagerly seek to explore its hidden gems and create new memories aboard our elegant ships.”
He continued, “We cannot wait to welcome Allura to the family in July. To have her and her sister, Vista, which launched to global acclaim last year, in one of the most intriguing and well-loved cruise regions of the world at the same time is so exciting.”
Extensive 2025 European Itineraries
The 2025 Europe sailings will offer travelers numerous opportunities to explore Europe’s natural beauty and unique local cultures. Allura, the eighth vessel in Oceania’s fleet and the second in its Allura Class, will feature a new onboard creperie and a top-of-ship library with stunning sea views.
Additionally, the 1,200-guest ship will offer five specialty dining venues and The Culinary Center, Oceania’s hands-on cooking school. Allura’s maiden voyage will take place from July 18 to July 25, 2025, sailing from Trieste to Athens, Greece.
