The 1,250-guest ship is scheduled to enter dry dock for a "stem-to-stern" reinspiration—a comprehensive overhaul that aims to align the vessel with the residential luxury found on the line’s newest ships, Vista and Allura.

As part of the fleetwide OceaniaNEXT™ initiative, this isn't just a simple refresh; it is a total reimagining of the guest experience, spanning everything from stateroom design to culinary enrichment.

Redesigned Staterooms: A Sanctuary at Sea

The most significant part of the transformation will take place behind the stateroom doors. Oceania Cruises is redesigning every single cabin on the ship to create a more modern, spa-like environment.

  • Sophisticated Layouts: The staterooms will feature entirely new layouts and furnishings, moving towards a contemporary, "residential" style that prioritises comfort and understated elegance.

  • Suite Refreshes: While the Penthouse, Oceania, Vista, and Owner’s Suites have seen recent upgrades, they will receive further refreshes to ensure total consistency across the ship’s top-tier accommodation.

The Bakery at Baristas

If you’ve ever wished your morning coffee came with a side of Parisian flair, you’re in luck. The Bakery is being added to the chic Baristas coffee house.

Throughout the day, guests can enjoy freshly baked French and Italian pastries—the perfect accompaniment to a signature cappuccino.
