Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri has handed over a new cruise ship to Oceania Cruises, a luxury cruise brand of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings.
Allura is a sister ship of Vista, which was delivered to Oceania Cruises in 2023.
Allura will depart Piraeus on her maiden voyage on July 18. Her initial sailings this summer will be in the Mediterranean, after which she will transfer to the US, Canada and the Caribbean.
The ship has an LOA of 246 metres, a gross tonnage of 68,000, and 600 cabins that can accommodate 1,200 guests.
The guest amenities span 11 decks and include 12 restaurants, eight bars, casual and VIP lounges, venues for live entertainment, a combination spa and wellness centre, a pool, a casino, and all-veranda accommodations consisting of both single staterooms and suites.
Concierge level veranda staterooms are also available for solo travellers.
Architecture firm Studio DADO was responsible for the work on the ship's interior spaces, which also include the lifts, the stairwells, and the corridors.
