The Best Cruise Ships in the World: The Gold List 2026
"With a May 2024 glow-up, the 1,250-passenger Oceania Marina (a 2011 debut) now vibes as glam and polished as Oceania Cruises' other culinary-driven vessels. Elegant, updated furnishings add extra sparkle to buzzy bars like Horizons and Martinis, the Grand Dining Room, the Polo Grill steakhouse, and the Library. Redone Penthouse Suites now exude warm grey and creamy hues in new custom furnishings, while splashy Italian-marble bathrooms emphasise oversized showers made for lingering."
"While on one of the world's most eco-friendly ships, French line Ponant's one-of-a-kind icebreaker Le Commandant Charcot, I am obsessed with three things: the mesmerising sight of our ship cutting through winter ice on Quebec's St. Lawrence River, copious complimentary pours from magnums of Henriot Champagne, and black truffles available on every menu. A heavenly indulgence, it turns out, to be, is a bowl of truffle cheese fondue, served"
Oceania Marina underwent a May 2024 refurbishment that updated furnishings throughout public spaces including Horizons, Martinis, the Grand Dining Room, the Polo Grill, and the Library. Penthouse Suites received warm grey and creamy custom furnishings and Italian-marble bathrooms with oversized showers. New dining venues include the wellness-focused Aquamar Kitchen offering superfood salads and immunity juices, Pizzeria at Waves with Neapolitan pies, an expanded all-day ice cream parlour, and Nikkei dishes at Red Ginger such as chicken anticuchos with huancaina sauce. Marina will sail during the 2026 total solar eclipse, with seven-day fares from £1,870.
