Two new upper-premium cruise ships are making waves in summer 2025 — Viking Vesta @VikingCruises Oceania Allura @OceaniaCruises both built by Italian shipyard Fincantieri @FincantieriChannel While each ship belongs to a different brand, they share the same refined scale and guest focus that define the booming upper-premium segment. In this video, I explore what makes Viking Vesta (998 guests, 54,300 GT) and Oceania Allura (1,200 guests, 67,800 GT) so appealing to today’s travelers — from their generous space-to-guest ratios to all-balcony accommodations and carefully curated experiences. Whether you’re a cruise enthusiast, an event planner, or a curious traveler, this segment might just be the future of refined cruising — offering space, style, and value without going ultra-luxury. If you’d like to explore the possibility of chartering a ship like Viking Vesta or Oceania Allura for your event at sea — or are considering a group booking — feel free to get in touch for a free consultation. 📩 Email: a.trevisan@bancostacruise.com 🌐 Website: www.bancostacruise.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andtrevisan/ 👉 Don’t forget to subscribe for insights from onboard Allura’s pre-inaugural cruise this July.

Can a large cruise ship still feel premium and refined? Celebrity Ascent, the newest Edge-class ship by @celebritycruises is for me a fantastic large premium cruise ship. This short video captures the essence of what truly surprised me. From the Magic Carpet floating platform to the multi-level rooftop garden, and from stunning design to immersive entertainment and wellness spaces, Ascent offers the space of a large ship with the feeling of a modern luxury resort. Built in France at a cost of over €1 billion, this 140,600 GT vessel hosts up to 3,260 guests in a layout that emphasizes comfort, elegance, and innovation — including infinite verandas, two-story villas, and The Retreat, a luxury enclave with its own sundeck, pool, and restaurant. 🛳️ Part of the cutting-edge Edge Class, Celebrity Ascent balances bold innovation with a casual luxury cosmopolitan spirit.
