Oceania Cruises is launching an immersive new signature dining experience aboard Oceania Allura.
When the new ship sets sail on its maiden voyage on July 18, it will offer a new Gérard Bertrand Food and Wine Pairing lunch, an indulgent, six-course meal featuring premium hand-picked Gérard Bertrand wines. It will be available for up to 40 guests, for $175 per person (plus gratuities), on select days during each voyage.
The new offering will be expanded to Oceania Vista in September, followed by Oceania Marina and Oceania Riviera by 2026.
"At Oceania Cruises, we are always looking for unique ways to inspire curiosity and create deeper connections through our onboard offerings,” says Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer at Oceania Cruises. "Our guests aren't simply looking to enjoy exceptional food and wine. They want to explore, learn and personalize their luxury cruise vacation in meaningful ways. The new Gérard Bertrand experience is a perfect example of how we continue to expand our diverse collection of discovery-led offerings, allowing guests to connect with place, people and culture from a fresh perspective."
