Oceania Marina Cruise Ship to Undergo Massive Refurbishment

Oceania Cruises has revealed plans for an extensive refurbishment of Oceania Marina, that will touch every element of the onboard experience from a complete redesign of the cabins to enhancements across all public spaces.

Scheduled to enter dry dock in October 2026, the stem-to-stern refurbishment is part of the line’s OceaniaNEXT program created to continually improve Oceania’s guest experience. The refurbishment plans ensure that Oceania’s entire fleet is aligned with the design and ambiance of the brand’s planned newbuilds.

“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 destination,” said Jason Montague, chief luxury officer at Oceania Cruises. “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.”

Highlights of the refurbishment will include:

• All staterooms will be fully redesigned with new layouts, furnishings, and entirely new bathrooms featuring marble finishes and 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 lighting, creating a cohesive and contemporary aesthetic. 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 coffee house, Baristas, elevating the onboard café experience by serving tempting French and Italian pastries and freshly baked treats throughout the day;
• Signature specialty restaurants Polo Grill, Red Ginger, Toscana, and Jacques will be enhanced with refreshed design and state-of-the-art galley improvements;
• The pool deck will receive all new sun loungers and day beds.
