Riviera Cruise Ship of Oceania Cruises

The Riviera is a gorgeous mid-sized cruise ship, and its 1,250 guests will love the elegant furnishings and fascinating decor. The artwork is especially interesting, and the company has about $10 million worth of art displayed on the Riviera and its sister ship the Marina.

Join me on a tour of the Riviera, and then check out these other photo galleries of the ship.

• Dining and Cuisine
• Cabins and Suites
• Outdoor Deck Areas

The Riviera library is a series of small reading rooms, connected by this nice passageway. The ship has an excellent selection of reading materials.

The Library on the Oceania Cruises' Riviera is comfortable and quiet--a perfect place to read a good book or surf the Internet on your computer.

The Library on the Riviera of Oceania Cruises even has a fireplace, but it's not real (for safety reasons).

The Riviera has ship-wide WiFi, but also has this large computer/Internet center next to the library.

Baristas is a hot spot for coffee lovers on the Riviera cruise ship. 

Baristas offers takeaway coffee but also has a seating area for those who like to linger over their hot drink.

The Concierge Lounge on deck 9 is accessible to Concierge category cabins on the Oceania Riviera cruise ship.

The Concierge Lounge on the Oceania Riviera features fresh coffee and light snacks all day (and most of the night) long. It is only accessible to guests in Concierge category cabins.

The Casino Bar on the Riviera is a good spot to take a break from the slot machines or gaming tables.  

Even those who don't enjoy gambling can appreciate the fun (or misery) others are having at the tables or slots while watching from the comfortable seats in the Casino Bar on the Riviera.

 The Casino on the Riviera is small but offers gaming tables and slot machines.

The Grand Bar on deck 6 connects Martinis Bar with the Casino and Grand Dining Room.

Martinis on the Oceania Riviera is a great bar with comfortable seating and icy cold drinks. 

Everyone who visits Martinis Bar on the Oceania Riviera cruise ship raves about the fabulous decor. 

The Martini Tasting event on the Oceania Riviera cruise ship is fun and educational.  

The Horizon Lounge on the Oceania Riviera offers great views of the sea, and this classic bar is perfect for a drink to enjoy along with the view.

Tea time at sea is a favorite activity of many cruise lovers and the one on the Riviera of Oceania Cruises features some delectable treats to go along with the tea.

The Horizon Lounge is quiet in the daytime but the dance floor is often busy in the evening.

The Spa on the Riviera of Oceania Cruises is operated by Canyon Ranch Spas. 

The food is amazing on the Oceania Riviera cruise ship, which means that the fitness center stays busy with guests trying to burn off a few calories between meals. 

Isn't this a great view of the sea from the Riviera's fitness center?

Taking a cooking class in the Oceania Riviera Culinary Center is both fun and educational.

That's me showing off the delicious frittata I made in a cooking class on the Riviera at the Bon Appetit Culinary Center.

Cooking may be an art, but those who enjoy other artistic pursuits will love the Artist Loft on the Riviera. 

The interior of the Riviera is filled with interesting artwork like this large piece made of colorful glass.

This sculpture in the Riviera Concierge Lounge is a reminder of how a guest might look after eating all the good food on the ship!
