Oceania Cruises has announced updates to its culinary offerings across its eight-ship fleet, focusing on what it calls "Relaxed Yet Refined" dining venues. The cruise line is introducing new options at existing restaurants while maintaining its commitment to high-quality cuisine.
Frank A. Del Rio, president of Oceania Cruises, emphasized the importance of food in the cruise experience: "Food is the foundation of what we do on board each of our ships, and globally, in the destinations we visit. We are renowned for serving The Finest Cuisine at Sea, as it is at the very core of our business."
Key changes at Terrace Cafe include the addition of a daily sushi station with 45 new recipes and the introduction of an Indian Corner, operating once per cruise during dinner service. The latter features 15 authentic Indian dishes.
And at Waves Grill, there is a revamped poolside lunch menu with more than 20 revised options, including new cold and hot sandwiches such as a Surf & Turf Wagyu burger and a Philly Cheesesteak sandwich.
Executive culinary directors, chefs Alex Quaretti and Eric Barale, are leading these changes. Quaretti noted the influence of the diverse staff on menu development: "Our staff hails from every corner of the globe and being able to bring their knowledge and their experience to the table, literally, is a wonderful thing."
The cruise line also hinted at future updates to its specialty restaurants, including new dishes for Red Ginger, expanded wine pairing luncheon options and menu revisions for The Grand Dining Room. These changes are expected to be unveiled before the end of the year, ahead of the launch of the new ship Allura in just over a year.
