Oceania Cruises has announced stem-to-stern refurbishment of the 1,210-guest ships Riviera and Marina.
With the advent of Riviera’s and Marina’s revitalization, Oceania Cruises will, for the first time, field a fleet entirely composed of “brand-new or better-than-new ships in every destination across the globe.”
Debuting in December 2022 and November 2023 respectively, Riviera and Marina will become “better-than-new ships in a re-inspiration without peer”, said the cruise line in a statement.
The statement also said: every surface of every suite and stateroom will be entirely new, while in the public spaces, a refreshed colour palette will surround a tasteful renewal of fabrics, furnishings, and lighting fixtures that encompasses the style and comfort of Oceania Cruises.
Tuscan marble, engaging works of art, and designer residential furnishings will be used to decorate the refreshed spaces.
“At Oceania Cruises, we continue to raise the bar and elevate the guest experience at every opportunity. Whether it’s innovative new culinary concepts, immersive new destination experiences, or presenting our guests with ships that are not just better, but better than new, Oceania Cruises sets the standard by which others are judged,” stated Howard Sherman, President & CEO of Oceania Cruises.
Riviera will debut on December 7, 2022, on a 16-day Mediterranean, Atlantic, and Caribbean cruise from Rome to Miami.
From there, Riviera will reprise her eternally popular 7- to 14-day Caribbean sailings from Miami to the Caribbean, Mexico, and Central America for one final season before returning to Europe in late March 2023. Riviera then charts an inaugural season of Far East explorations during later 2023 and early 2024.
Marina will debut on November 13, 2023, on a 7-day cruise from Barcelona to Lisbon.
From Lisbon, Marina will bound her way to Miami, where she will kick off her annual South America season on December 3, 2023.
Details on the 2024 itineraries for the entire Oceania Cruises fleet will be released in the coming weeks.
