A first look at the brand-new Oceania Sonata

20 March 2026

In August 2027, Oceania Cruises will introduce its newest ship, Oceania Sonata. As the first vessel in the brand-new Sonata Class, the ship represents the cruise line’s most ambitious project so far. The design focuses on offering more space across the ship while keeping the small-ship atmosphere that long-time guests love. Public areas, suites, and outdoor spaces have all been planned with comfort and practicality in mind, giving the ship a residential feel rather than a typical large cruise layout. As the debut approaches, attention is turning to what guests can expect on board and the journeys planned for its first season.

Experience a different side of Mallorca with Iberostar

20 March 2026

Mallorca is often seen as an easy beach break, but where you stay can completely change how the island feels. Iberostar’s latest openings across the Balearics focus on giving you that choice. Some are set up for switching off completely, others make it easy to get out and explore, and a few are built so you barely need to leave. What ties them together is a clear sense of place, whether that’s being right by protected natural areas, close to working local communities, or within easy reach of Palma when you want a bit more going on.

Greece is often associated with the height of summer, when islands are busy, temperatures are high, and the most famous destinations are at their fullest. While July and August have their appeal, visiting in spring (April to early June) or early autumn (September and October) means you can still enjoy warm weather and long days, but with a calmer atmosphere. It becomes easier to explore cities, move between islands, and spend time in places without the intensity that often comes with peak-season tourism.
