Oceania Cruises to Add Expanded Dining Options Fleetwide

Oceania Cruises has announced new additions to its culinary programs aboard the dining venues of its eight small luxury ships. Among the highlights include new sushi and Indian cuisine offerings at Terrace Café, as well as a revamped poolside lunch menu at Waves Grill.

"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, said Frank A. Del Rio, President of Oceania Cruises. "This does not always mean a white linen tablecloth and starched napkins at one of our award-winning specialty restaurants – finest does not always mean the fanciest. It's also a perfectly prepared pizza or an enticing burrata dish enjoyed al fresco with a crisp glass of white wine as you set sail."

The new daily sushi station at all Terrace Cafés will offer 45 recipes, created by Oceania Cruises' Executive Culinary Directors, Chefs Alex Quaretti and Eric Barale, and their team. Two times of sashimi will be served each day, as well as two types of uramaki, three kinds of nigiri, and a daily vegetarian option. Terrace Café is the center of the line's relaxed dining options, open at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. 

The new Indian Corner will operate once every cruise at Terrace Café during dinner and will feature 15 authentic Indian recipes.

"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,” said Bernhard Klotz, Vice President of Food and Beverage. "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."

Waves Grill, Oceania Cruises' relaxed poolside lunch venue, will now served a revamped menu of new dishes and signature favorites. 

The menu will feature more than 20 revised options, including a new selection of sandwiches and burgers. These include the signature Surf & Turf Wagyu burger (a wagyu beef patty with lobster medallions and truffle mayonnaise) and a new Philly Cheesesteak  (comprising shredded sirloin steak, provolone, sautéed onion, bell peppers, and mushrooms). 

Oceania Cruises Executive Chefs Alex and Eric and their team will have more surprises to share before the end of the year as they take a thorough review of all menus across all ships.

"We have so much going on ahead of the launch of Allura in just over a year. But there are exciting plans afoot for all our ships. We have new dishes to unveil in Red Ginger, our signature pan-Asian venue; there will be an expansion of Oceania Cruises' exclusive wine pairing luncheon options; and a fresh look at the menus for the grande dame of the line's dining venues, The Grand Dining Room," said Chef Alex.
