Oceania Marina to undergo ‘stem-to-stern’ refit

Oceania Cruises’ Oceania Marina is set to undergo a major refit later this year.

The vessel, originally launched in 2011, will see an “extensive transformation” while in dry dock in October.

The stem-to-stern refurbishment to the 1,250-passenger vessel will include redesigns of all cabins and enhancements to public spaces.

The work to be carried out is the first in a series of enhancements planned as part of the line’s ‘OceaniaNEXT’ fleetwide initiative to enhance the passenger experience.

The company said: “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.”

Chief luxury officer Jason Montague said: “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.”
