Unveiling the Remastered Riviera

Unveiling the Remastered Riviera

As Riviera sails the sun-drenched coasts of the Mediterranean this summer, she’s radiant with several exciting new enhancements after her recent dry-dock in Marseille, France. As OceaniaNEXT continues evolving, this dry-dock was the perfect opportunity to enhance her onboard experience, plus add some surprising new elements. Riviera now features a new bar and lounge, next-generation Owner’s Suites, enhanced suites and staterooms and more. Read on for the complete details.

Baristas: New Coffee Bar & Lounge
The most dramatic change is the all-new coffee bar area and addition of a tony new lounge with sweeping sea views on Deck 14. Resplendent in silvery-grey and sea greens punctuated with bold accents of gold and high-gloss ebony and white marble, the new Baristas lounge is the perfect place to relax in quietude or enjoy lively conversation over a bespoke illy coffee creation. There is even a brand new gleaming silver Victoria Arduino espresso machine – the reputed “Rolls Royce of Coffee Machines”.

Stylishly Enhanced Suites & Staterooms

Riviera’s Concierge and Veranda staterooms along with the Penthouse Suites radiate a stylish new air inspired by the better-than-new Insignia and Sirena. Retaining the warmth and charm they’re renowned for, the lustrous wenge walnut paneling and upholstered headboards are now offset with tones of Espresso, Caramel, and Ivory in the new carpeting and fabrics.

Next-Generation Owner’s Suites
The proverbial jewel in the crown of the re-mastering are the three next-generation Owner’s Suites furnished exclusively with the Ralph Lauren Home Collection. You now enter through the breathtaking foyer with a limestone and black cabochon inset floor, walls of inset Georgian wood paneling, and a mahogany and quartzite bar. Spacious and airy, this grand room features dramatic sea views from floor-to-ceiling windows dressed with Ralph Lauren Home Grimaldi-weave sail fabric, along with a self-playing ebony piano that provides the perfect interlude for in-suite entertaining.

The elegant living room is anchored by a new deep-navy sectional accented with saddle-suede and accompanied by a mahogany Lounge Moderne chair upholstered in navy and white Super-Yacht Stripe. The centerpiece of the dining room is the Mayfair dining table with a new Barrett Knurled chandelier overhead.

The master suite, which is an entire retreat unto itself, has taken on an entirely new persona with a new Cote D'Azure king-size bed, elegant Mayfair Bergere side chairs upholstered in Sutton Suede Doe, and dramatic nickel-trimmed lighting accents. Finally, the wraparound teak verandas feature stylish pieces that were custom-crafted by Ralph Lauren Home for Oceania Cruises. Designed by Los Angeles based Trevor R. Howells Interior Design, the Owner’s Suites reflect Ralph Lauren’s appreciation for sailing, Hollywood glamour and timeless, classical beauty.

We’ll be carrying out similar enhancements on Riviera’s sister ship, Marina, in May 2020. 

What’s up next for OceaniaNEXT? Stay tuned for the dramatic re-introduction of Sirena – full of surprises all her own – very soon!
