Taste the world: Where gourmet cuisine meets luxury travel

If you love to cruise, you know that a ship’s dining experiences can take a voyage to the next level. So, imagine a travel experience where every meal is a celebration of the finest culinary traditions, served on board a small, luxurious ship designed for lovers of culinary excellence and exploration against the backdrop of some of the world’s most breathtaking destinations. This is Oceania Cruises’ commitment to its guests.

With a fleet of designer-inspired ships – and the recent unveiling of Allura, which sets sail on its inaugural season in 2025 – Oceania Cruises has a strong emphasis on gourmet cuisine and has firmly positioned itself in the ultra-premium segment of the cruise industry, where luxury and comfort take precedence over size. With Oceania Cruises’ simply MORE™ value inclusions you can unlock Free Gratuities, Free Shore Excursions, Free Champagne, Wine and More, and Free Gourmet Speciality Dining.

The next chapter in Oceania Cruises culinary excellence

Gourmet and relaxed dining can go hand in hand. Oceania Cruises has introduced the next chapter in its culinary story, highlighting new “relaxed yet refined” dining venues across its fleet of eight small, luxurious ships. The spotlight is on new sushi and Indian cuisine offerings at Terrace Café and a revamped poolside lunch menu at Waves Grill.

Bernhard Klotz, Vice President of Food and Beverage, says: “Beauty lies in the simplicity of how we create The Finest Cuisine at Sea®; the perfect combination of the most innovative culinary team, the freshest ingredients, and the best food-centric ships, this is where the magic lies. Food brings people together, food brings joy; we are here to ensure that every bite of every meal makes our guests smile – from a decadent ice cream sundae by the pool to an exquisite soufflé – The Finest Cuisine at Sea® is everywhere on board our ships.”

A world of flavours

At the heart of this culinary journey is Terrace Café, which features a daily sushi station and an Indian Corner, expanding its impressive array of international cuisines.

Terrace Café features a daily sushi station.

The sushi station boasts 45 brand-new recipes created by Oceania Cruises’ newly appointed Executive Culinary Directors, Chefs Alex Quaretti and Eric Barale. Offerings include two types of sashimi per day, two types of uramaki, three kinds of nigiri and a daily vegetarian option. The Indian Corner, available once every cruise during dinner service, features 15 Indian recipes.

Poolside perfection

For a relaxed lunch, Waves Grill, Oceania Cruises’ poolside venue, allows guests to experience the acclaimed culinary reputation of the cruise line without leaving their lounge chairs.

“At each of our relaxed yet refined venues, our guests can still savour the ritual and theatre of a dining experience. You can linger, relax and enjoy. Guests are not rushed through, these are absolutely not ‘fast’ food options; it’s simply a different ambiance and setting,” explains Chef Quaretti.
