New Features Coming May 2024 with Marina’s Refurbishment

Exciting new culinary experiences, a beautifully refreshed ambiance, elegantly updated public spaces – it’s all coming May of 2024 aboard Marina when she will undergo an inspiring, all-encompassing ship refurbishment. Following the ship refurbishment, Marina will debut on May 18, 2024, and will add three new dining options, featuring: Aquamar Kitchen, the new wellness-focused dining venue which debuted on Vista this year; an expanded ice cream parlor serving milkshakes and smoothies poolside, plus offering inventive flavors from artisan ice cream company Humphry Slocombe; and a new casual al fresco trattoria serving sumptuous Italian dishes, including freshly-made pizzas.

New Restaurant: Aquamar Kitchen
Our new signature restaurant, Aquamar Kitchen, which presents wellness-inspired menus with a hint of indulgence, is one of the exciting culinary additions to Marina, giving you more opportunities to experience this new and popular venue. At breakfast, the smoothies, cold-pressed juices and energy bowls shine, while at lunch the avocado toast selections and globally inspired salads and wraps are incredibly flavorful and satisfying. Heartier options include an Impossible™ burger, yellowfin tuna tacos and a crunchy chicken sandwich among several others.

To reflect the wellness-inspired dishes, the beverage menu will feature a selection of premium, award-winning non-alcoholic wines, Pierre Zero from France as well as a refreshing collection of mocktails crafted with Lyre’s non-alcoholic spirits. Aquamar Kitchen will be open for breakfast and lunch and does not require reservations, and as with all other onboard restaurants, is complimentary.

With the addition of Aquamar Kitchen, our signature pairing dinners featured in La Reserve will be showcased in Privée, Marina’s exclusive private dining space. This intimate venue will host culinary aficionados for long-standing favorite pairing menus of La Reserve, including the Odyssey Menu and the Dom Pérignon Experience.

A Trattoria Beneath the Stars
In the evening, Waves Grill will transform into a complete al fresco trattoria featuring freshly made pizzas, succulently grilled Italian specialties, spicy dry-rubbed chicken wings, tantalizing salads, rosemary focaccia with lush burrata and indulgent desserts. Pizza creations feature delectable toppings ranging from flora black olives and oaky truffles to fiery chorizo and tart lemon chicken.

All-Day Ice Cream Parlor
For guests with a sweet tooth, an all-day ice cream parlor will be added to the pool deck. Filled with favorite flavors, including options from Humphry Slocombe, plus milkshakes and smoothies, it is sure to entice guests for an afternoon poolside treat.

A Radiant New Look
In addition to the three new dining options, Marina’s private and public spaces will be refreshed to showcase new radiant décor. All upper suites will be reimagined with a revamped look, to become lighter, brighter and seemingly even more spacious thanks to cleverly designed new features. Classic steakhouse Polo Grill will also be enhanced with new carpet, stylish window treatments and a fresh design of the dining chairs.

Penthouse Suites Renovation
The Penthouse Suites will be completely refurbished with custom-crafted furniture as well as the addition of more closets and cabinetry to increase guest storage space, plus new carpets and upholstery, updated modern lighting and thoughtful details such as more outlets and USB ports. Each Penthouse Suite will have a sleek restyled bathroom, with distinctive Italian marble throughout, abundant drawer space, and generous over-sized showers, offering the elegant residential luxury for which Oceania Cruises is renowned.

Upgrades To Public Areas and Lounges
Favorite public spaces including Martinis, Horizons, The Grand Dining Room and Library will be elegantly updated during the ship refurbishment with plush new carpets and refreshed upholstery, reflecting a renewed sense of grandeur while maintaining the home-away-from-home ambiance.

You can rest assured that one aspect will remain constant and unchanged: our trademark warm and personalized service on board. Whether you are sailing for the first time or the fifteenth, you will note the ease with which the staff remembers your name and preferences along with the genuine smiles and enthusiasm that can only come from the heart.
