Del Rio, the President of Oceania Cruises, emphasized the company’s commitment to luxury dining, stating, "Dining is the cornerstone of the Oceania experience, and these new menus exemplify the culinary artistry of our talented team, led by esteemed chefs like Alexis Quaretti and Eric Barale." Chef Quaretti notes that his inspirations for these recipes come from his rich culinary background and cherished family traditions, including a dessert crafted from his grandmother’s cherished chocolate mousse recipe.
Breakfasts and Lunches Reinvented
Mornings at The Grand Dining Room will come alive with over 30 new breakfast dishes.
