Oceania Cruises new ship Vista to sail in April 2023: What can you expect onboard?

Oceania Cruises’ cruise ship Vista, the first in a new class and with a sister ship due the following year, has been designed to offer the very best in small-ship luxury cruising.

Whether you’re looking for a serene spa, a chic bar for cocktails and dancing or just a quiet corner to read a book, you’ll find it aboard this sleek, 1,200-guest debutante.

Oceania also prides itself on offering ‘the finest cuisine at sea’, and Vista will raise the bar even higher with 12 distinctive culinary venues including new eateries Ember and Aquamar Kitchen.

With two staff for every three guests, you can be sure the service will be as top-notch as the food.
