Oceania Riviera
Oceania Cruises — Oceania class
Marina's sister with the wider passport — the culinary flagship formula sent to Alaska and Asia.
Sister ships usually shadow each other; Oceania sent Riviera the other way. Structurally she repeats Marina — delivered in 2012, around 66,084 tons, 1,250 guests, restaurants as the organizing principle — but her deployments push into Alaska and Asia alongside the Mediterranean, extending the line's big-ship product well past the Atlantic circuit.
A 2022 refit modernized her staterooms and public rooms. In Alaska she brings unusual dining depth to a region better known for buffet lines, and in Asia her capacity supports the long sea legs between countries. If Marina is where the culinary flagship idea was proven, Riviera is where it gets exercised.

Oceania Riviera Highlights
Alaska With a Serious Kitchen
Few ships in Alaska treat dinner as the day's second act worth staging; Riviera's specialty dining range turns glacier days into two-part events.
Asia-Capable Scale
At 1,250 guests she has the sea-day amenities long Asian itineraries demand — enrichment, deck space, dining variety — without tipping into mega-ship crowds.
The Marina Formula, 2022 Fresh
Same purpose-built culinary architecture as her sister, updated by a 2022 refit that reset the interiors to the fleet's current standard.
Where Oceania Riviera Typically Sails
Oceania Riviera: FAQs
Marina or Riviera — how do I choose?
By map, not by ship. The two are near-identical culinary flagships, so let the deployments decide: Riviera for Alaska, Asia and the Mediterranean, Marina for the Mediterranean, Northern Europe and the Caribbean.
What changed in Riviera's 2022 refit?
Oceania re-dressed staterooms and public areas to match the fleet's current design language. The layout and the restaurant architecture — the reason to book her — stayed as originally engineered.
Is Riviera a good Alaska ship?
Yes, with a caveat worth knowing: she is mid-sized for the region, larger than the boutique expedition ships but far below the mainstream giants. You trade a little port intimacy for a dining program few ships in the region attempt.
