The Oceania Riviera Veranda Stateroom and the near identical Concierge Stateroom are both stylish and spacious. Indeed, they are the biggest in their class. What’s more, they also have a large and very private veranda.

The decor in the Riviera Veranda and Concierge Staterooms is smart and modern. There are subtle tones of blue, charcoal and grey, with gleaming chrome highlights and ebony accents. It’s luxurious, but also understated making it the perfect home away from home.

A delightful living space

The living space is roomy and elegant, with some clever design features that are sure to appeal to luxury cruisers.

The Oceania Riviera Veranda and Concierge Staterooms have a combined sleeping and sitting area. The sitting area has a petit sofa and a good sized coffee table.

There is a marble-topped writing desk which is large enough for a laptop and accessories. It has USB-A and C fast-charging outlets ensure your devices never lose power. Also, there is a single European and two US power points. In addition, the writing desk has deep drawers which are handy for storing mobile devices as well as bulky clothing.

There is a custom-designed Tranquility bed which can be configured as a queen or twin set up. It has a soft-medium feel. Attractive night stands sit on either side of the bed. These were handy for storing personal items like spectacles and reading material. Modern cruisers are sure to appreciate the bedside USB A + C bedside charging points, as well as the multidirectional reading lights.

The Oceania Riviera Veranda and Concierge Staterooms have a wall mounted interactive TV. It shows movies on-demand as well as your itinerary and shipboard account.

The living space also has a small bar area with refrigerator and reusable Vero water bottles.

Your own private veranda

The veranda could well be the best part of this Riviera stateroom. It’s a tranquil haven at sea, especially at sunset.

There is room for two padded deck chairs and a cocktail table. I enjoyed relaxing on the veranda with a good book as the ocean drifted by.

A luxurious bathroom

The marble-clad bathroom in the Oceania Riviera Veranda Stateroom is luxurious. What’s more, clever design makes it feel even bigger than it really is.

The bathroom was entirely remodelled in 2022. It has a large walk-in shower as well as a stone vanity with a Hollywood style mirror. There is also a set of drawers and a storage cupboard, something rarely seen in a stateroom in this category. 

The bathroom also comes stocked with quality Bulgari products. Your room attendant will replenish these as needed.

Storage space

The Oceania Riviera Veranda Stateroom has just-enough storage.

There is a decent sized closet, as well as drawers and cupboards. Although some cruisers might find storage is limited. That said, the closet has enough space to take the contents of two large cases full of clothing.

Incidentally, it’s also worth noting that there is plenty of room underneath the bed to store empty luggage. Although large hardshell cases may need to be opened up in order to fit underneath.

Veranda and Concierge categories

Riviera Veranda and Concierge Staterooms all share the same internal space and layout. Only the size of the veranda and/or the stateroom positions vary; some are forward or aft, while others have favorable midship positions. Riviera’s staterooms span decks 7 to 12.

Veranda Stateroom categories include B1, B2, B3 and B4. It’s worth noting that B4 categories have larger verandas with forward and aft locations on deck 7.

Concierge Level Stateroom categories include A1, A2, A3 and A4. There are a handful of A1 category rooms scattered among the exclusive suites on decks 11 and 12. 

Insider’s tip: If you are prone to seasickness we recommend a room with a midship location. On the other hand, if you prefer a big veranda then a B3 category room is best.
