Marina of Oceania Cruises - Interior Pictures

Premium-Class Marina Has Elegant, Luxurious Interiors

Oceania Cruises classifies its ships as "upper-premium", but the 1250-passenger Marina looks much like a luxury ship, with its elegant wood paneling and fine interiors.

This photo gallery includes pictures of many of the interior common areas of the Marina, including the Bon Appétit Culinary Center, fitness center, Canyon Ranch SpaClub, library, hallways, and lobby with Lalique Grand Staircase.

The lobby reception area of Oceania Cruises' Marina features a grand stairway, commissioned by Lalique, the fabled French artists of jewelry and crystal.

The stunning Lalique Grand Staircase design is a double curved staircases and balcony with balustrades of crystal medallions and scrolled iron. Six crystal pillars rising from the landing adorn the two-story, glass elevator surround. A brass banister is complemented by a mahogany handrail.

At the base – as a dramatic centerpiece – is Lalique’s highly prestigious Cactus table surrounded by etched crystal screens and flanked by newels capped with prominent crystal finials. An exquisite and striking Lalique vase, with fresh flower display, sits atop the table.

Lalique sculptures and crystal accessories are displayed throughout the ship as part of Marina's multi-million dollar art collection.

The stairwells on the Marina are very stylish, and each has interesting artwork.

Although much of the Marina is classically elegant, small touches of contemporary decor are scattered throughout the ship's common areas.

The library on the Marina is much different than her three smaller sister ships. It has small alcove-like reading areas and dark wood paneling.

The Marina Bon Appétit Culinary Center classroom has 18 fully-equipped work stations. Learn more about the Culinary Center from Oceania Cruises.

The Marina Fitness Center, which is part of the Canyon Ranch SpaClub®, features a full circuit of Technogym strength-training machines, cardiovascular equipment with heart-rate monitoring and individual LCD TV screens, and a free-weight area. The SpaClub also offers a designated area for abdominals and stretching, as well as group and private yoga, aerobics, Pilates, spinning and tai chi classes.

I don't usually take photos of ladies' bathrooms, but this one on the Marina of Oceania Cruises is particularly striking, with its shiny black surfaces.
