Oceania Cruises announces the redesign of Oceania Marina ship

Wednesday, 08 Apr, 2026 0

Luxury cruise line Oceania Cruises announced plans for a comprehensive re-inspiration of its acclaimed ship, Oceania Marina. 

Scheduled to enter dry dock in October 2026, Oceania Marina will undergo an extensive transformation. Every stateroom will be thoughtfully redesigned, complemented by considered enhancements across all public spaces, ensuring the ship reflects Oceania Cruises’ blend of residential luxury, timeless design and understated elegance.

Luxury as a mantra

This stem-to-stern enhancement of the 1,250-guest vessel is the first in a series of enhancements planned as part of the line’s OceaniaNEXT™ program, an all-encompassing initiative at the heart of its commitment to continually enhance the guest experience. The ambitious fleet-wide program will touch every element of the onboard experience, from ship design to cuisine, service and enrichment.

The reinspiration of Oceania Marina is a significant milestone in ensuring that the ambiance and aesthetic of all vessels in the fleet are aligned and dovetail with the design and ambiance of Oceania Cruises’ planned newbuilds. This move will position the current fleet for the future while remaining true to the line’s heritage of exceptional cuisine, destination immersion and intuitive service.

At Oceania Cruises, raising the bar is not an initiative – it is our mindset. We are constantly refining the guest experience, from elevating our culinary offerings to creating more intimate, immersive ways to explore the world’s most iconic destinations. With OceaniaNEXT, we are reaffirming our commitment to modern luxury by ensuring every ship in our fleet reflects the refined style, attention to detail and thoughtful innovation that define our brand,” said Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer of Oceania Cruises.

‘Re-inspiration’ highlights

  • All staterooms will be fully redesigned with new layouts, furnishings and entirely new bathrooms featuring marble finishes and spacious rainforest showers.
  • Penthouse, Oceania, Vista and Owner’s Suites will be refreshed to maintain consistency with their recent enhancements.
  • Public areas including bars and lounges will feature updated furnishings, plus new carpeting and refined lighting, creating a cohesive and contemporary aesthetic. Plus, the enlarged Grand Lounge will see the introduction of the Founders Bar, offering artisanal cocktails, such as barrel-aged Negronis and imaginative small-batch gin creations.
  • A new Chef’s Studio will replace the former Artist Loft, offering an expanded program of insightful demonstrations, new opportunities to learn from culinary experts and to enjoy food and wine tasting experiences
  • The Bakery will be added to the ship’s chic coffee house, Baristas, elevating the onboard café experience by serving tempting French and Italian pastries and freshly baked treats throughout the day to complement your morning cappuccino or as a mid-afternoon sweet treat
  • Signature speciality restaurants Polo Grill, Red Ginger, Toscana and Jacques will be enhanced with refreshed design and state-of-the-art galley improvements, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to The Finest Cuisine at Sea®
  • All new sun loungers and day beds on the pool deck will ensure comfortable relaxation for guests as they enjoy the ever-changing sea views and landscapes

While the physical transformation is extensive, the essence of the Oceania Cruises experience remains unchanged. Genuine, intuitive service continues to define every voyage, with crew delivering a level of warmth, attention and personal recognition that ensures guests feel both valued and at home.
