Due to join sister ship Vista in spring 2025, the Allura will carry a maximum of 1,200 guests and 800 staff, providing an impressive guest-to-crew ratio of two crew members for every three guests. The ship will feature the same majestic atrium, sweeping staircase and spectacular crystal pillar as her sister ship, creating a luxe environment while maintaining the signature relaxed Oceania vibe. While at sea, guests will be able to enjoy a wide range of onboard facilities and activities, including cookery classes at the Culinary Centre, art workshops at the Artist Loft, talks from notable Guest Speakers and relaxing treatments at the spa. The Pool Deck is a fabulous space for lounging, and for those looking to keep fit there is a gym and running track, along with sports and deck games. Evening entertainment includes Broadway-style shows led by Britt Stewart from Dancing with the Stars and a casino.

Oceania has a well-deserved reputation for the quality and variety of its onboard cuisine and the Allura is part of the company’s Finest Cuisine at Sea initiative. Guests can choose from 12 dining venues including Asian, Italian, European and a new venue, Ember which specialises in premium US-inspired dishes, such as porcini-dusted bone-in ribeye. Other new dining options include the Aquamar Kitchen with a health-focused menu and The Bakery, sited adjacent to Baristas coffee house, for delicious freshly baked pastries. Both private dining and in-cabin dining are also available. With a wide choice of relaxing bars and lounges, guests are spoilt for choice. The Founder’s Bar is worth a visit to experience the latest cocktail-crafting and mixology trends, which include cocktails topped by flavoured smoke bubbles.

All cabins feature private balconies, deluxe  Tranquillity Beds with premium linens, spacious and comfortable seating area, Wi-Fi, interactive TV with on-demand movies, complimentary soft drinks, and water and large ensuite with Bulgari bath products. For access to the Concierge Lounge, laundry service, welcome champagne and unlimited access to the spa, book either a Concierge Level Veranda Stateroom or for solo guests, a Concierge Level Solo Veranda Stateroom. The lavish and opulent suites offer a range of upgraded amenities, including 24-hour butler service. We would recommend the Oceania Suite, full of residential opulence with an oversized teak veranda. Allura itineraries are planned to include destinations such as the Eastern Mediterranean and the Americas.
