Construction Begins on a New Class of Cruise Ships

Fincantieri kicked off construction this week on a new class of cruise ships when the first piece of steel was cut for Oceania Sonata.

Oceania Sonata will be the first in a new Sonata class from Oceania Cruises, one of the world’s leading destination focused cruise lines.
The first piece of steel was cut for Oceania Sonata at the Fincantieri-Marghera shipyard in Venice, Italy. The ship will be the most spacious and amenity-rich ship in the cruise line’s fleet.
The new cruise ship is expected to enter service in the summer of 2027 with sister ship, Oceania Arietta, debuting soon after.
