Savour the seas with Oceania’s culinary excellence

Key to the experience is the perfect combination of an innovative culinary team and the freshest ingredients. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, Terrace Café at the centre of Oceania’s laidback dining sees its impressive array of global cuisines expand even further with the addition of an expansive daily sushi station embracing 45 brand-new recipes created by Oceania Cruises’ newly appointed Executive Culinary Directors, chefs Alex Quaretti and Eric Barale, and their talented team.

Meanwhile, Waves Grill, Oceania’s poolside lunch venue, allows you to savour well-loved signature dishes and new favourites from their revamped menu – served straight to your loungers if you desire. Its more than 20 reinvented options include the signature Surf & Turf Wagyu burger with lobster medallions and truffle mayonnaise and the new Philly Cheesesteak hot sandwich with shredded sirloin and provolone. These venues are all relaxed yet refined, with ritual and theatre of their own – there are no ‘fast’ food options where you’ll feel rushed.

Foodie sister ships Marina and Riviera, joined by Vista in 2023 and soon by Allura in 2025, were the ever first ships to have an onboard cooking school. Built around the galleys in the shipyard, they have more galley space and more fresh food storage than any other ship. Oceania Cruises also has the highest percentage of culinary staff devoted to the dining experience than any other cruise company – one chef for every ten guests, with half of the crew dedicated to the cooking or serving of food.
