Oceania Cruises on April 7, 2026, announced plans for a comprehensive reinspiration of its ship, Oceania Marina.
Scheduled to enter dry dock in October 2026, Oceania Marina will undergo an extensive transformation. Every stateroom will be redesigned, complemented by enhancements across all public spaces to reflect Oceania Cruises’ blend of residential luxury, design and 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. The fleetwide initiative will touch every element of the onboard experience, from ship design to cuisine, service and enrichment.
The reinspiration of Oceania Marina is a 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.
“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,” said Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer of Oceania Cruises.
