Bars & Lounges
From effervescent cocktails at Martinis to relaxed afternoons at the poolside Waves Bar, Oceania Sonata offers a stylish retreat for every mood. Sip a pre-dinner drink in the elegant Grand Lounge, enjoy a headline performance in the Lounge or toast the sunset with a signature pour in Horizons. Innovative mixology experiences await at Opus Lounge, Martinis and beyond. As you sail the world, these bars and lounges invite you to unwind, connect with friends and enjoy memorable shows and live music in sophisticated surroundings.
MARTINIS
Our hallmark cocktail lounge, Martinis is far more than a place to sip a signature cocktail – although its namesake libation alone is reason enough to spend some time here. Martinis is a glamorous destination that welcomes guests to a warm, inviting setting amidst walls of shimmering glass and plush furnishings. The classic elegance of Martinis is a symphony of timeless allure and is a brilliant reflection of timeless design. With an air of both sophistication and ease, this space provides the perfect backdrop for extraordinary evenings. Simply gather with friends in your favorite alcove and let the memories be made.
OPUS LOUNGE
Oceania Sonata’s public rooms radiate luxury and comfort, instantly inviting exploration and relaxation. Just steps away from the lobby and adjacent to the Library, the new Opus Lounge beckons you. A relaxing and gracious living room by day, it’s the perfect place to relax and while away the afternoon or socialize with newfound friends. In the evening, Opus Lounge is the chic hotspot where one goes to be noticed. Where else could you order ready-made Negronis that come straight from a wooden barrel, imparting an oaky undertone that whispers of old-world secrets? Vapor-filled bubbles with aromatic flavors are infused in cocktails, bringing a unique twist to both classic and contemporary concoctions. Aged bourbons with hints of caramel and vanilla and grassy, spicy ryes have been hand-selected from the most distinguished distilleries. Or settle into a snug armchair and watch your cocktail of choice be prepared tableside.
GRAND LOUNGE
The curvaceous and sinuous design of the Grand Lounge plays with shape and form, creating visual elements that are striking yet understated. Its palette – evoking metals and minerals in shades of bronze, onyx and alabaster – lends balance and quiet intrigue. The resulting space exudes exclusivity, reminiscent of a refined private club, inviting guests to savor an aperitif before dinner or a nightcap while reflecting on the day’s adventures with fellow explorers.
Oceania Sonata Lounge
More than a theater, the Oceania Sonata Lounge serves as the ship’s home for the arts in every sense – intellectual, musical and theatrical. Days here are devoted to shared discovery, with dynamic speakers and regional experts offering inspired perspectives on the destinations featured on your voyage. With nightfall, the lounge shifts effortlessly into a refined evening venue, presenting intimate cabarets, accomplished musicians, charismatic vocalists and signature performances unique to Oceania Sonata.
Horizons
Aptly named, Horizons captivates with dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows framing 180-degree vistas of the sea. This lounge celebrates the journey itself, offering a serene setting to savor the passage while glimpsing the allure of destinations that lie ahead. Comfortable furnishings in soothing tones invite guests to relax and linger, creating a sense of home even as the panoramic views assure you that you are far from it.
WAVES BAR
Just steps from the pool, Waves Bar provides a relaxed retreat with an array of refreshing libations to complement your time on deck. Whether enjoying a leisurely afternoon with a favorite cocktail, a crisp glass of wine or a chilled beer, the setting encourages unhurried moments. As the day fades, signature cocktails and frosty beverages set the stage for a seamless transition into the lively evenings aboard Oceania Sonata.
