First Look at the Crêperie Coming to Oceania Cruises New Ship Allura

Oceania Cruises has shared details of its new culinary venue Crêperie coming to Allura. Guests can experience the eatery when the ship makes its debut in July 2025. 

The Crêperie will be located on Allura next to Baristas, the line's signature coffee bar. Guest sailing on the ship will be able to enjoy the Crêperie’s selection of tempting French crêpes, Bruxelles waffles, bubble waffles, and Italian ice cream sundaes. 

"Allura, our eighth elegant small ship, represents the next step in Oceania Cruises' evolution and a new way of exploring the world. Food is at the heart of everything we do at Oceania Cruises; The Finest Cuisine at Sea is not just a tagline, it's a philosophy which drives our whole business," said Frank A. Del Rio, President of Oceania Cruises. "However, finest does not always mean the fanciest – and our more relaxed, yet still refined, culinary venues, such as the beautiful new Crêperie aboard Allura, is a perfect example of this. With this addition on board Allura, our guests have never had more choice in what to eat and when – and of course all our dining venues on board are included for all guests free of charge."

Oceania Cruises Executive Culinary Directors Alex Quaretti and Eric Barale have developed more than 20 recipes for Crêperie. All menu options can be topped with banana, salted caramel sauce, or whipped cream for guests to customize and create their own perfect sweet treat. 

"We cannot wait for Allura to join the fleet, and the new Crêperie concept is a great addition to our onboard culinary venues. Located next to Baristas, and just around the corner from the very popular Bakery, the new Crêperie completes this sociable and temptingly delicious corner of the ship” said Chef Alex Quaretti. "I know our guests will be delighted by the range of delicious fluffy waffles, delicate crêpes, and myriad flavors of Italian ice cream served in a bubble waffle wrap, cone or bowl – the challenge will be choosing which toppings. Among my personal favorites is the French crêpe with Nutella and whipped cream – it reminds me of being taught how to cook the perfect crêpe by my grandmother when I was growing up."

The Crêperie makes up the 12th dining venue onboard Allura. It joins the following list of ship eateries: 

• The Grand Dining Room – The ‘Grande Dame’ of Oceania’s dining venues, which offers an abundance of menu options every day, including Jacques Pepin's French classics, dishes inspired by global destinations, or a four-course food and wine pairing 
• The Terrace Café - Serves international cuisine on the ship’s seaside terrace
• Polo Grill - The ship’s classic steakhouse
• Toscana – Serves Italian specialties
• Red Ginger – Pan-Asian cuisine
• Ember - American classic menu with a modern twist
• Aquamar Kitchen – Wellness-inspired cuisine 
• Waves Grill – Poolside sandwiches and burgers by day; al fresco pizzeria at night
• The Bakery at Baristas – Serves freshly baked French and Italian pastries
• Afternoon Tea at Horizons – Served at 4 pm daily 
• Privée - The ultimate private dining experience

Allura is the eighth vessel for Oceania Cruises and is the line's second 1,200-guest Allura Class ship. It follows her sister ship Vista which launched in May 2023. The ship will accommodate up to 1,200 guests served by 800 crew members (two crew members for every three guests). Allura offers the most spacious standard staterooms at sea, at 291 square feet. 

Onboard, guests can take part in the Chef's Studio teaching programs at the ship’s expansive Culinary Center. Allura will also offer food and wine pairing experiences, such as Sommelier's Choice and Cellar Master's Classic Wine Pairing Luncheons. 

Allura will make its official debut on July 18, 2025, with a maiden voyage sailing from Triste to Athens. Following a summer season in the Mediterranean, Allura will sail to Canada/ New England for a series of voyages in North America, before its first winter season in the Caribbean homeporting in Miami.
