About Marina
Marina was the first purpose-built Oceania-class ship, delivered in 2011 and still a fleet favorite for food lovers. She was designed around the idea of country-club elegance at sea, with a grand staircase, a wide range of included specialty restaurants and spacious suites, including Owner’s Suites furnished in Ralph Lauren Home style. Marina introduced the Bon Appétit Culinary Center, one of the first hands-on cooking schools at sea. She has been refreshed with the fleet’s newer furnishings and touches, while keeping her residential, low-key feel. Itineraries range widely, with Europe, the Caribbean, South America and longer Grand Voyages all featuring.
Best for: Travelers who rank dining above all else and want an elegant, mid-sized ship with plenty of specialty restaurants at no extra charge.
