A Comprehensive Transformation of the Much-Loved Ship, Scheduled for October 2026, Reinforces the Brand's Continued Commitment to Elevated, Intentional Luxury Travel
MIAMI, April 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Oceania Cruises®, the world's leading culinary- and destination-focused luxury cruise line, today announced plans for a comprehensive reinspiration 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' signature blend of residential luxury, timeless design and 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 all-encompassing initiative at the heart of its commitment to continually enhance the guest experience. The ambitious 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 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. This is how we continue to bring to life The Joy of Traveling Well," said Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer of Oceania Cruises.
