The following images of the
Riviera’s
public spaces, dining areas and accommodation
MV Riviera’s midships pool and sun deck, located between the Canyon Ranch Spa
and the Library/Baristas.
A Few Select Interior Public Spaces
MV Riviera - Canyon Ranch Spa Club.
The Canyon Ranch Spa Club is on forward Deck 14. It will offer a suite of
therapy rooms providing massages, skin care and beauty treatments. Adjoining the
fitness center, it will also feature a thalassotherapy whirlpool, sauna, steam
room, aerobics, spinning classes, yoga, pilates, wellness lectures, Canyon Ranch
Spa cuisine and cooking demos, a fitness track and a beauty salon as well as a
sheltered private relaxation terrace overlooking the bow.
MV Riviera - Baristas Coffee Bar
Baristas Coffee Bar is located on Deck 14, just aft of the pool area at the base
of the Riviera’s funnel. It adjoins the Library and provides all the necessary
caffeinated beverages one could ask for, free of charge and with a spectacular
view, to boot.
MV Riviera - Martinis.
The comfortable and stylish furnishings on the Riviera are by such renowned
manufacturers as Baker, Maguire and Sutherland. No expense was spared and it is
apparent in the rich, clubby digs of Martinis, just aft of the soaring lobby on
Deck Six.
MV Riviera - Lalique Grand Staircase.
Designers Yran and Storbraaten may have outdone themselves with the Riviera’s
Grand Staircase lobby, the Art Deco-inspired equivalent to the REGATTA class’
Edwardian trappings. And the banister is infused with Lalique glass medallions.
This will be the first thing guests see when they embark the ship on Deck 5 or
6.
Dining Venues
MV Riviera - Toscana Restaurant.
The Toscana Restaurant is located atop the ship on the port/aft portion of Deck
14. To begin each meal, there is a selection of 30 olive oils and balsamic
vinegars to go with the artisan breads, made with Viron flour, grown in the
Beauce region of France. Many of the menu items are family recipes shared by the
ship’s Italian staff members.
MV Riviera - Polo Restaurant.
Just as with the REGATTA Class, the Polo Grill is atop the starboard/aft portion
of the ship, adjacent to the Toscana Restaurant on Deck 14. Among other
delectable's, the Polo Grill will offer dry-aged and USDA Prime cuts.
MV Riviera - Jacques.
Named for Oceania’s Master Chef Jacques Pepin, Jacques is located on starboard
Deck 5. This will be an entirely new eatery for Oceania, introducing a
Parisian-bistro inspired menu, created by Pepin. Even the decor will bear his
exclusive touch, with art from his private collection. Another new venue, Red
Ginger, is adjacent to Jacques on the port side of Deck 5. It will feature
pan-Asian cuisine.
MV Riviera Grand Dining Room.
As with the REGATTA class ships, the Riviera boasts a Grand Dining Room in the
aft portion of the ship (on Deck 6). It is the largest of the ship’s six dining
venues and will feature Murano glass chandeliers. The cuisine is Continental and
this is where I should add that Riviera has a higher galley space ratio than any
other cruise ship.
Accommodation
MV Riviera Inside Stateroom.
The Riviera will offer seven basic accommodation floor plans, beginning with
eighteen comfortable 174 square foot insides. Located on Decks 10, 9 and 8, they
will feature a choice of twin or queen sized Tranquility Beds, flat-panel
monitor, wireless internet access, refrigerated mini bar, security safe, writing
desk and stationary, plush cotton robes and slippers, direct-dial satellite
phone, nightly turn-down service and oversize marble bathroom with handheld
hairdryer and French-milled toiletries. Accommodation decoration is provided by
Dakota Jackson (except for the Owner’s Suites, which feature Ralph Lauren
furnishings).
MV Riviera Oceanview Stateroom.
On midships Deck 7, there will be 20 Oceanview Staterooms measuring 242 square
feet and featuring floor to ceiling windows, a sitting area and breakfast table
in addition to all the other amenities listed above.
MV Riviera Verandah Stateroom.
There will also be 244 Verandah Staterooms on Decks 7 and 8 and 200 similar
Concierge Level Verandah Staterooms on Decks 9, 10 and 12. These rooms will
measure 282 square feet and Concierge Level rooms will feature access to the
private Concierge Lounge and priority reservations for Polo Grill, Toscana,
Jacques and Red Ginger.

Additional features include a full walk-in closet and full tub in addition to

measure 1,200 to 1,500 square feet, 42 inch flat screen TV with Bose
Surround sound, laptop computer, king sized Tranquility Bed and wraparound teak
verandah.
MV Riviera Owner’s Suite Entry.
Three 2,000 square foot Owners’ Suites occupy aft Decks 8, 9, and 10. Decorated
with Ralph Lauren Home furnishings, they span the entire 105 foot beam of the
ship and have a centrally-situated entry foyer and bar.
MV Riviera Owner’s Suite Living Room.
On the port side of the suite is the Living Room with its private dining alcove.
And that is platinum leaf in the ceiling recess....
MV Riviera Owner’s Suite Bedroom.
On the starboard side, there is a master bedroom, master bath and exercise room.
MV RivieraOwner’s Suite Bathroom.
The bathrooms are designed to not only rival the best on any ship but those at
any land-based resort or hotel, as well.
