Narrative:
Preflighted aircraft at gate in sea during light drizzle and 4C OAT. I inspected the wing for possible clear ice after fueling. I did not detect any ice; and passengers were boarded. Take off and climb out were normal with anti-ice on. In flight; cabin crew called us to inform us that they saw ice formations on the top of the right wing. The formations were streaked in the slipstream like rivers of ice. There were no unusual airframe or aerodynamic vibrations. Flight was continued with no further problem.
