Oceania’s Marina Launching Next Fleet Upgrades

Oceania Cruises plans a transformation of its classic ship Oceania Marina.

In a dry dock in October 2026, every stateroom will be redesigned, along with enhancements across all public spaces, ensuring that the ship reflects Oceania Cruises’ signature blend of residential luxury understated elegance.

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 ambitious fleetwide initiative that will touch every element of the onboard experience, from ship design to cuisine, service and enrichment.

All staterooms will be fully redesigned with new layouts, sumptuous furnishings and entirely new bathrooms featuring marble finishes and spacious rainforest showers.Penthouse, Oceania, Vista and Owner’s Suites will also 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, an atmospheric lounge 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 specialty 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 what it claims is 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

The reinspiration of Oceania Marina will dovetail with the design and ambiance of Oceania Cruises’ coming newbuild Oceania Sonata, due in 2027. This will position the current fleet for the future while remaining true to the line’s heritage of exceptional cuisine, destination immersion and intuitive service., said Jason Montague, Oceania’s Chief Luxury Officer.

“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.”

While the physical transformation is extensive, the essence of the Oceania Cruises experience remains unchanged, Montague emphasizes. 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.
