Your floating resort

The Marina, and her sister Riviera, which debuted in May 2012, are the most beautiful, elegant and sophisticated ships to debut in the past 50 years. Designer touches are everywhere, from the magnificent Lalique Grand Staircase and stunning Owner's Suites furnished in Ralph Lauren Home, they are showcases of the finest residential design and furnishings. More than anything, Marina and Riviera personify the Oceania Cruises experience.

Comfortably mid-size, Marina and Riviera retain the same warmth and charm of their acclaimed consorts Regatta, Insignia and Nautica. While the country club casual ambiance and level of personalized service remain the same, they offer even more choice and some enticing new amenities. As the first ships designed for lovers of fine dining and travel experiences, Marina and Riviera offer guests multiple dining venues, of which six are open-seating gourmet restaurants with no surcharge. La Reserve by Wine Spectator offers enlightening wine and food pairings. The new Bon Appetit Culinary Centre is one of few hands-on cooking schools at sea. Similarly, artists-in-residence teach fine arts in Artists Loft, a new enrichment centre. For speciality coffees and snacks, there is Baristas Coffee Bar. Accommodations in every category are incredibly spacious, especially with regard to the lavish bathrooms.

Yet remarkably, with so many additions, the onboard ambiance and experience remains comfortably familiar. Oceania have retained everything guests adore about the ships and raised the bar ever higher.

Polo Grill

Polo Grill embodies the essence of a classic steakhouse with timeless reverence, expressing its elements mindful of tradition. The decor features crisp, white linen tablecloths, dark wood furnishings, and supple, high-back, burgundy leather chairs. Each course represents the epitome of time-honoured favourites, particularly the beef dishes, all of which are certified Black Angus USDA Prime and dry-aged for enhanced tenderness and flavour. Succulent seafood dishes, such as grilled swordfish and whole Maine lobster gratinee, are also classics in their own right. Even the classic Caesar salad is prepared according to tradition, tableside and with gusto, ensuring a dining experience that pays homage to culinary heritage.

Toscana

Toscana, meaning Tuscan, pays homage to the rich family traditions of Tuscan cuisine, with many recipes tracing their origins to the mothers and grandmothers of their Italian culinary staff. Presented on elegant, custom-designed Versace china, the masterfully prepared dishes epitomize the essence of Tuscany, celebrating Italy's culinary passion. Perhaps your evening begins with the octopus carpaccio with Champagne vinaigrette or the artichoke and Parmesan cheese timbale with black truffle sauce.

Jacques

Exuding exquisite decor with heirloom antiques, pickled wood furnishings, and art from Jacques Pepin's personal collection, Jacques is a masterpiece modelled after a Parisian bistro. The ambiance, comfortable and eclectic, encapsulates pure French flair, mirroring the cosmopolitan yet wonderfully embraceable cuisine. Luscious aromas emanate from the gleaming show rotisserie, where chicken, duck, pork, beef, and veal slowly turn. Each dish is a classic, ingeniously reinterpreted by Master Chef Pepin. The rotisserie roasted chicken falls off the bone, bursting with flavour, while the sea bass fillet pairs exquisitely with beurre blanc, delivering a dining experience that reflects the essence of French culinary artistry.

Embark on a culinary journey with a salad of spicy roast duck and watermelon featuring cashews, mint, and Thai basil. Delight in the flavours of a Malaysian beef penaeng with coconut rice and paratha roti or savour the Thai vegetable curry with sweet potatoes, aubergine, mushrooms, and basil in green curry sauce. In Red Ginger, the gustatory pleasures mirror the visual ones, creating a dining experience where every aspect is a celebration of Asian culinary excellence.
