Oceania Cruises has revealed plans for a major reinspiration of its luxury ship, Oceania Marina, marking a new phase in enhancing its onboard experience. The transformation is scheduled to begin in October 2026, when the ship enters dry dock for a complete upgrade.

The refurbishment will cover the entire vessel, with all staterooms set to be redesigned. Guests can expect updated layouts, new furnishings, and modern bathrooms with marble finishes and spacious rainforest showers. Premium suites, including Penthouse, Oceania, Vista, and Owner’s Suites, will also be refreshed to align with recent upgrades.

Public areas across the ship will see noticeable changes, with new furnishings, updated lighting, and refreshed interiors aimed at creating a more modern and cohesive look. The Grand Lounge will be expanded to introduce the Founders Bar, offering a selection of artisanal cocktails in a relaxed setting.

Dining and culinary experiences, a key focus for the brand, will also be enhanced. Signature restaurants such as Polo Grill, Red Ginger, Toscana, and Jacques will receive design updates along with improvements to their kitchen facilities. A new Chef’s Studio will replace the Artist Loft, giving guests more opportunities to engage in cooking demonstrations and tasting sessions.

The onboard café experience will also be upgraded with the addition of The Bakery at Baristas, serving fresh pastries and baked treats throughout the day. Meanwhile, the pool deck will feature new sun loungers and day beds to enhance guest comfort.

This extensive upgrade is part of Oceania Cruises’ OceaniaNEXT program, a broader initiative aimed at improving every aspect of the guest journey, from ship design to service and cuisine.

Sharing his thoughts, Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer of Oceania Cruises, said, "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. This is how we continue to bring to life The Joy of Traveling Well."

While the upgrades will bring a fresh look and feel to the ship, the brand’s focus on personalised service and guest comfort will remain unchanged. With this reinspiration, Oceania Marina is set to offer a more refined and seamless luxury experience for travellers in the years ahead.
