Oceania serves up ‘Culinary Masters’

Oceania Cruises has announced its inaugural ‘Culinary Masters’ Cruise’ aboard the brand’s Marina ship in October 2024!

The exclusive sailing will allow guests to immerse themselves in the culinary world, guided by the expertise of Oceania Cruises’ renowned Master Chefs of France, Alexis Quaretti and Eric Barale.

“Oceania Cruises is a cruise line built by foodies, run by foodies, for foodies,” commented Frank A. Del Rio, President of Oceania Cruises. “Since our launch 20 years ago, we have put food at the heart of everything we do, so hosting our first-ever Culinary Masters’ Cruise is a natural evolution for us. This special sailing gives us the chance to show our immense pride in being the only cruise line to have two of its chefs inducted into the prestigious echelons of the Maîtres Cuisiniers de France and the opportunity to share their wisdom, creative talent and fantastic culinary connections with our guests.”
