OCEANIA Cruises’ Oceania Riviera (pictured) has made her debut in Australia, commencing her first season of voyages in the country (CW 03 Dec).
The 1,250-guest ship arrived in Fremantle, Western Australia, late last month, and will immerse guests in the local culinary scene through a broad array of small-group shore excursions including visits to local markets, rice fields, and truffle farms.
The 2026 season will run through to Mar, featuring a diverse selection of itineraries ranging from 14 to 35 days, with departures from multiple ports across the region.
Voyages will also visit hidden gems like Mystery Island in Vanuatu, Dunedin in New Zealand, and Kangaroo Island in SA, as well as iconic ports such as Sydney, where Riviera made her first call yesterday.
The ship welcomed more than 100 trade partners for a tour and lunch in venues such as Jacques and the main dining room.
Chief Luxury Officer Jason Montague said Oceania is excited to have finally brought Riviera Down Under.
“This new chapter reflects our commitment to offering exceptional, immersive experiences that celebrate the region’s diverse cultures and breathtaking landscapes,” Montague said.
“Riviera’s voyages will offer travellers an unmatched opportunity to savour the finest local cuisine while exploring some of the world’s most iconic destinations in unparalleled comfort and style.” MS
