Oceania Cruises

Dining
 
Boldly claiming to serve cuisine renowned as the finest at sea might seem to be an overstatement. But Oceania Cruises wouldn't make such an immodest assertion if not for the tremendous contribution of the legendary Master Chef Jacques Pépin. As cruise line’s Executive Culinary Director, he inspires the onboard chefs to perform feats of gastronomic wizardry. Memorable dining begins with open-seating, as it allows you to dine when you are ready and with whomever you choose. Regardless of which of the restaurants you select, there are no dining surcharges. Enjoy Toscana's authentic Italian dishes, Polo Grill's steakhouse fare, Red Ginger's bold Asian flavors and the best of French country cuisine at Jacques. Meanwhile, you can savor Continental cuisine, Canyon Ranch Spa Cuisine and gourmet vegan dishes in The Grand Dining Room, and made-to-order American favorites in Terrace Café. To explore epicurean delights in a more private setting, try Marina and Riviera's La Reserve by Wine Spectator, where a maximum of 24 bons vivants may indulge in private vintage wine and gourmet fare pairings.

In-Suite/In-room Dining - From breakfast in bed to dinner on your verandah, complimentary 24-hour in-stateroom dining is available.
 
Entertainment, Bars, Lounges and Gaming
 
The immense variety of entertainment options on board the ships ensures that your interests will be constantly piqued.

Unforgettable evenings at energetic, show-stopping performances are just steps from your stateroom. Afterward, stop at the sleek Monte Carlo-style casino for a game of blackjack or roulette.

Each ship features a unique lineup of onboard shows and entertainers, where no two voyages are ever entirely alike.

From the famous Big “O” Martini to exquisite vintages by the glass, the tempting array of cocktails, spirits, wine and beer invite you to savor those perfect vacation moments while you relax on board the luxurious ships and enjoy lively entertainment.
