Oceania Cruises announced details of the largest refurbishment program in the company's history. The award-winning trio of R-Class ships, Regatta, Insignia and Nautica will undergo a combined $50-million transformation during next year’s second quarter.

All public rooms, suites and staterooms will have new furnishings and décor. Many of the amenities and design elements that debuted on the line’s newest ships - including Baristas, Oceania Cruises’ specialty coffee bar and the grill in the Terrace Café - are being added during the refits.

Transformation Highlights

• All staterooms will receive rich new décor, imbuing them with a new sense of style, elegance and flair.
  
• Penthouse suites will be transformed with new furnishings, upholstery and a palette that reflects the sea, sun and sky.
  
• Owner’s and Vista Suites will receive new bathrooms with oversized showers along with new marble and granite vanities.
  
• The addition of the Baristas coffee bar.
  
• The Terrace Café will be transformed with new furnishings, flooring, wall-coverings and lighting. This restaurant will also have a state-of-the-art grill, which prepares cooked-to-order specialties.
  
• The Main Lounges will be completely refurbished with new carpeting, chairs, fabrics and upholstery.
  
• Martinis will receive new furnishings.
  
• The pool deck will sport all new furniture and new tile work.
