Oceania Riviera will make her debut in Sydney on Wednesday 10 December, marking her first Australia, New Zealand and South Pacific season of voyages.
The ship arrived in Fremantle on 29 November before travelling to Busselton, Albany, Kangaroo Island, Adelaide, Melbourne, Tasmania and finally Sydney.
She will now spend the 2026 season, which runs until March, with 14 to 35-day itineraries across Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific.
Last month, the luxury cruise line marked two major ship milestones, celebrating Allura’s naming ceremony in Miami and sharing a sneak peek of Sonata, due to set sail in August 2027 – the first of four 1,390-guest ships in the new Sonata Class.
The new vessel will be the “most spacious and amenity-rich” to date, with two new suite categories, plus reimagined Owner’s Suites, and all staterooms will have a “spacious veranda”.
She will also have 10 culinary experiences, including the Grand Dining Room, as well as signature specialty dining venues such as Jacques, the line’s refined French restaurant; pan-Asian Red Ginger; Polo Grill steakhouse; and Toscana, serving Italian specialties.
