Itinerary

Day 1

Southampton


Lying near the head of Southampton Water, a peninsula between the estuaries of the Rivers Test and Itchen, Southampton is Britain’s largest cruise port. It has been one of England’s major ports since the Middle Ages, when it exported wool and hides from the hinterland and imported wine from Bordeaux. The city suffered heavy damage during World War Two and as a result the centre has been extensively rebuilt, but there are still some interesting medieval buildings including the Bargate, one of the finest city gatehouses in England.

Oceania Sonata Dining

New Dining Venues

Oceania Sonata introduces two brand-new dining experiences. A partnership with Maîtres Cuisiniers de France underpins La Table, an intimate chef-led venue where the artistry of French cuisine is showcased in an elegant, private setting. Completing the line-up, Nikkei Kitchen is a bright, open dining concept offering a vibrant fusion of Peruvian and Japanese flavours.

Oceania Sonata Culinary

The Finest Cuisine at Sea

Oceania Cruises is famed for The Best Cuisine at Sea, and Oceania Sonata proudly continues this tradition with a collection of much-loved dining venues. Alongside signature speciality restaurants such as Red Ginger, serving Asian-inspired cuisine, and Toscana, offering authentic Italian classics, The Grand Dining Room returns in an elegant setting with an ever-evolving menu of international favourites. For more casual dining, Polo Grill offers freshly prepared burgers, hot dogs, and other relaxed classics.

Oceania Sonata Afternoon Tea

Afternoon Tea

A hallmark of any luxury cruise experience, Oceania Sonata proudly continues the tradition of daily Afternoon Tea. Naturally, this is an Oceania Cruises Afternoon Tea, featuring delicate finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones, and elegant bite-sized sweets, all served to a soothing musical accompaniment. It’s a refined ritual to be savoured – and one we highly recommend enjoying at least once during your voyage.

Oceania Sonata Wellness

Wellness

After a day exploring ashore, what could be better than booking into the Aquamar Spa + Vitality Centre for️ for a pampering treatment, or settling poolside with a good book? For those looking to stay active during their voyage, the Fitness Centre features state-of-the-art equipment and expansive windows offering sweeping views of the ocean or the day’s port of call.

Oceania Sonata Culinary Center

During the day

Life onboard Oceania Sonata offers the freedom to do as much – or as little – as you wish. Spend leisurely days relaxing poolside on the ship’s plentiful loungers, or head to the theatre to enjoy an enriching guest lecture delivered by one of Oceania’s esteemed speakers. If you’d like to hone your culinary skills, The Culinary Centre hosts in-depth classes led by the ship’s resident chefs, while a collection of elegant lounges provides the perfect setting to unwind and watch the world go by.

Oceania Sonata Entertainment

When night falls

When not enjoying the extended stays in port featured on many of Oceania Sonata’s 2027 cruises, the ship offers an inviting choice of evening entertainment. Enjoy a show or live performance in the Sonata Lounge, where comfortable seating and excellent sightlines ensure a great view from every seat. Alternatively, try your luck in the casino, admire moonlit ocean views from the Horizons Lounge, or head to the elegant Opus Lounge to enjoy a cocktail from its extensive menu.

Oceania Sonata Excursions

Exploring ashore

Oceania Sonata’s destination-rich itineraries are enhanced by a carefully curated collection of shore excursions, designed to reveal the cultural, culinary, and historic heart of each destination. From wine tasting in Médoc vineyards and marvelling at the Achilleion Palace, to snorkelling the crystal-clear waters surrounding Tortola, every Oceania Sonata cruise promises enriching discoveries both ashore and onboard.
