Luxury ocean line, Oceania
Cruises, has announced the industry’s first entirely gluten-free onboard
culinary experience.
Guests sailing aboard Oceania Vista in 2028 can take
advantage of the line’s renowned culinary
program without the need to navigate menus, question preparation practices
or worry about cross-contact.
Every onboard dining venue aboard Oceania Vista will offer
entirely gluten-free menus from signature specialty restaurants Toscana, Polo
Grill, Red Ginger and Jacques to more casual venues such as Aquamar Kitchen and
Waves Grill. Guests can also indulge in afternoon tea, in-suite dining and
enjoy freshly baked pastries from The Bakery without having to limit their
choices or plan each meal around their dietary needs.
"As a brand with food at its heart, we believe every
guest should be able to experience the joy and discovery that define dining
with Oceania Cruises," said Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer of
Oceania Cruises in a statement.
He added, "This voyage gives our culinary team an extraordinary
opportunity to reimagine our acclaimed onboard dining experiences through an
entirely gluten-free lens while remaining true to the creativity, quality and
abundance at the heart of our philosophy to serve The Finest Cuisine at Sea.
Most importantly, it will allow guests to relax into their vacation knowing the
entire culinary experience has been created with them in mind."
Celiac Cruise, a leader in gluten-free travel with extensive
experience creating safe, worry-free vacation experiences for the celiac and
gluten-free communities will provide its expertise and insight into the needs
of gluten-free travelers and serve as an official booking partner for the
voyage.
"For travelers with celiac disease, food is something
that has to be considered at virtually every stage of a journey – where to eat,
what to order, how something has been prepared and the potential for
cross-contact," said Maureen Basye, founder of Celiac Cruise.
In addition, Basye said, "The opportunity to board a
ship knowing the culinary experience has been designed to be entirely
gluten-free fundamentally changes what travel can feel like for so many.
Instead of planning their vacation around food, guests on this sailing can focus
on the destinations they are exploring, the people they are traveling with, and
the simple joy of traveling well."
Departing May 31, 2028 from Southampton, the 12-night
roundtrip voyage will call on historic cities of England, Ireland and Scotland
to include Cork (Cobh), Dublin (Dún Laoghaire), Glasgow (Greenock), Stornoway
in the Hebrides and Edinburgh (Newhaven).
