One chef for every eight guests, and half of the crew dedicated to culinary operations.

Oceania Sonata will be the first of the five Sonata-class ships ordered by Oceania Cruises and the ninth ship in its fleet. She is under construction at Fincantieri's Marghera shipyard near Venice, where she was floated out on 27 August 2026, and is due to debut in August 2027. At about 86,000 GT she will be nearly 30% larger than Oceania Allura with only 90 more accommodations, and every suite and stateroom will have a private veranda. Her maiden voyage, Mediterranean Collage, sails from Rome (Civitavecchia) to Trieste on 7 August 2027, and from November 2027 she will sail Caribbean and Panama Canal voyages from Miami.
