Allura

The Story

Allura represents Oceania Cruises' continued commitment to refined ocean cruising, joining the line's collection of elegant mid-sized ships. As one of Oceania's newest vessels, Allura carries forward the cruise line's signature approach: destination-focused itineraries paired with exceptional culinary experiences and sophisticated onboard ambiance.

Oceania Cruises has built its reputation on delivering upscale ocean voyages without the formality of traditional luxury lines. Allura embodies this philosophy with multiple specialty restaurants featuring cuisine crafted by renowned chefs, spacious accommodations, and an intimate atmosphere that larger resort-style ships simply cannot match. The ship maintains Oceania's hallmark country club casual dress code, allowing guests to enjoy refined experiences without the pressure of formal nights.

The vessel appeals to experienced cruisers who appreciate attention to detail, culinary excellence, and thoughtfully curated itineraries that emphasize port-intensive schedules. Allura's size allows access to smaller harbors while still providing the stability and amenities expected on ocean crossings and extended voyages. Whether exploring Mediterranean coastlines, traversing the Caribbean, or embarking on longer transoceanic journeys, the ship offers an elegant home base for travelers who view their cruise as much about the destinations as the voyage itself.

Beyond the fare

What Oceania Cruises actually costs

These rates apply fleetwide across Oceania Cruises.

Verified July 2026
Gratuities are included in the fare

Unlike most mainstream lines, Oceania Cruises folds crew gratuities into the ticket price — so a fare that looks expensive next to a budget line may not be.

Eliminated the automatic gratuity in 2025; crew gratuities are now included in the base fare.

Published rates, not a quote. Cruise pricing changes frequently — confirm with the cruise line before booking.
