Riviera was built by Fincantieri in Sestri Ponente, Italy, and was launched in July 2011.[4] The vessel was originally scheduled to be christened in Monte Carlo on 19 April 2012,[5] but in January 2012 it was announced that the ship's maiden voyage would be delayed to May due to shipyard labor strikes.[6] Riviera was christened in Barcelona on 11 May 2012, and embarked on her 10-day maiden voyage from Venice to Athens on 16 May 2012.[7]
In September 2024, Oceania announced that Riviera would be sailing Alaska in 2025, marking the first time the ship sails those waters.[8]
Riviera has tonnage of 66,084 gross tons,[1] with a capacity of 1,250 passengers housed in 625 staterooms.[4]
