Narrative:
While cruising at FL250 the flight deck crew as well the passengers and the flight attendant in the cabin noticed a strong burning odor. No smoke was present. The flight crew immediately donned O2 masks and [advised] ATC. ZZZ was the nearest suitable airport and a decision was made to divert there. Crash fire rescue equipment met the aircraft upon landing and did an exterior inspection of the aircraft; no evidence of fire or smoke was visible to them. Aircraft then proceeded to the gate and was deplaned. Maintenance arrived to investigate the cause.
