Oceania Cruises unveiled imagery of the Oceania Sonata, the first ship in the Sonata class and the cruise line's largest vessel yet.
A rendering of the grand dining room shows warm hues of light pink seating with bronze accents while the atrium will have a white stairway, seafoam carpeting and a sculptural centerpiece.
At 86,000 gross tons, the Sonata will be 28% larger than the next largest vessels in the fleet, the Oceania Allura and Oceania Vista. The guest capacity, however, will only increase by about 16% to 1,390 guests.

Scheduled to debut in August 2027, it will be the first of four ships in the line's Sonata class, which will all have the same guest capacity. There will be 855 officers and crew members.
About a third of the Sonata's accommodations will be suites, and there will be two new Oceania suite categories. The owner's suites will be "spectacularly reimagined," the cruise line said.
The Sonata will have familiar venues, including the restaurants Jacques, Red Ginger, Polo Grill and Toscana. There also will be new dining venues, which Oceania plans to announce in upcoming months.

The Oceania Sonata is being built in Italy by Fincantieri. The next three ships in the class are scheduled to debut in 2029, 2032 and 2035.
The Sonata's 2027 scheduled debut will happen just two years after the Allura's, which was christened last week in Miami.
