Oceania Cruises Announces First Annual ‘Culinary Masters’ Cruise’ in October 2024

 Sailing to Be Hosted by the Line’s Two Master Chefs of France, to Include Special Events, Guest Chefs and Signature Gala Seafood Brunch

MIAMI, FL, November 27, 2023 – Oceania Cruises, the world’s leading culinary- and destination- focused cruise line, has announced it will host its first annual ‘Culinary Masters’ Cruise’ aboard Marina in October 2024. The ultimate cruise for food lovers, this exclusive sailing will be hosted by Oceania Cruises’ two Master Chefs of France, Alexis Quaretti and Eric Barale, and offers the perfect opportunity to learn, to taste, and be immersed in the culinary arts.

The 1,250-guest ship will sail from Valletta, Malta, to Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy, on October 16, 2024, calling at ports in Croatia, Greece and Italy, giving guests the chance to explore local cuisines ashore as well as on board.  

“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.”

Marina and her sister Riviera were the very first true foodie ships in the world and are now joined by Vista, which was launched to global acclaim in May this year, and Allura, set to join the fleet in spring 2025. Marina and Riviera have more galley space and more fresh food storage than any other ship, and Oceania Cruises has the highest percentage of culinary personnel devoted to the dining experience than any other cruise company. To ensure the impeccable quality of each dish, the line has one chef for every ten guests; half of the crew on board is dedicated to the cooking or serving of food.

Marina, and her sister ship Riviera, were also the first ships ever to have an onboard cooking school. Due to the immense success of the onboard Culinary Centers, the line has doubled the space of this on board its newest ships, Vista and Allura. 

The first Culinary Masters’ Cruise is designed so guests can immerse themselves in true foodie heaven, whilst learning about Oceania Cruises’ gourmet heritage and future from the talented culinary team. There will be the opportunity to hear expert insights in onstage panel discussions and enjoy live cooking demonstrations from Chef Alex, Oceania Cruises’ Senior Culinary Director, and Chef Eric, Vice President of Culinary, and their special guests. 

All guests will be invited to attend Oceania Cruises’ legendary signature gala seafood brunch, usually only reserved for ship launches, and enjoy themed Chef’s Market Dinners in The Terrace Café, which will use ingredients bought from local markets by the onboard culinary team, inspired by the destinations visited. 

Plus, there will be the chance to purchase bespoke experiences available only aboard this sailing; including culinary tours in local ports and hand-on cooking classes, led by Oceania Cruises’ esteemed culinary team; expert-led wine tastings on board; or an exclusive private dinner event. 

“Oceania Cruises is already a proven leader in the culinary field, and we are excited to expand our already astounding offering with this exclusive cruise, which focuses on some of the finest destinations and cuisines in the world, to make this the ultimate cruise for food lovers,” commented Chef Alex.

The itinerary of the Culinary Masters’ Cruise is as tantalizing as the cuisine which will be served on board. Sailing from Valletta, Malta’s historic capital, which has myriad international connections through London, Frankfurt, Munich and Paris among others, Marina will have a day at sea before launching into a spectacular menu of Mediterranean and Adriatic ports of call: beautiful Kotor, Montenegro; Croatian gems Dubrovnik and Split; charming Bari, Italy; the Greek ports of Corfu and Katakolon; and then onto Italy, for the final day in foodie-heaven Naples, before finishing Rome (Civitavecchia).

simply MORE™
Oceania Cruises offers travellers simply MORE, with virtually everything included in the voyage fare: free roundtrip airfare; free airport transfers; a generous shore excursion credit of $800 per stateroom to be spent on tours of their choice; and a comprehensive beverage package available during lunch and dinner at onboard restaurants featuring dozens of vintage Champagnes, premium wines and international beers.

Tahiti Destination Highlights

Enjoy observing the surfers on their longboards as well as local highlights including Faarumai Waterfalls, the Arahoho Blowhole and the Maraa Fern Grottos.

Wander the black-sand beaches, marvel at the giant tiki at Piki Vehini or get adventurous on an all-terrain vehicle excursion around the craggy island.

Oceania Cruises Takes Delivery of and Announces Leadership Team for Newest Ship Vista

MIAMI, FL, May 1, 2023 – Oceania Cruises, the world’s leading culinary- and destination-focused cruise line, has welcomed its newest ship – Vista. Delivered at Fincantieri’s shipyard in Genoa, Italy, Oceania Cruises’ initial Allura Class ship features several firsts in the realms of dining, accommodation and guest experience. 

This 67,000-ton, 791-foot-long ship is one of the most anticipated new ships to join the global cruise fleet in 2023. The 1,200-guest Vista boasts the most spacious standard staterooms at sea, three brand-new dining concepts and operates with a market-leading service ratio of two staff members for every three guests. She is highly anticipated by brand loyal and new guests alike, with only a few select staterooms available for her inaugural summer season in the Mediterranean. 

Vista builds on Oceania Cruises’ exemplary reputation of destination-rich itineraries with world-class service and The Finest Cuisine at Sea® by offering 11 culinary venues, three of which are new concepts – Ember, a signature restaurant featuring elevated American cuisine; Aquamar Kitchen, which brings wellness offerings to a new level; and The Bakery at Baristas, an expansion of popular coffee bar Baristas, serving freshly baked French and Italian pastries. In addition to an elevated mixology program with innovative specialty cocktails, Vista’s new Broadway-caliber productions feature recognizable songs by some of the world’s most beloved artists and contemporary dance numbers led by “Dancing with the Stars” choreographer Britt Stewart.

“Today we usher in a new era for Oceania Cruises with the delivery of Vista,” said Frank A. Del Rio, President of Oceania Cruises. “We could not have built such an exceptional ship without the close partnership enjoyed with Fincantieri. We thank each and every person who had a hand in bringing her to life. From the smallest of design details to the largest per capita galley at sea, Vista is a marvel that will be enjoyed by guests for decades to come.”

When constructing Vista, Fincantieri’s key intention was to embody Oceania Cruises’ commitment to luxury and top-of-the-line guest experiences. The innovative ship is a reflection of Fincantieri’s extensive abilities and commitment to quality. 

Vista will be christened on May 8, 2023, in an exclusive glittering ceremony in Valletta, Malta, by her godmother, celebrated Italian-American chef, author, restaurateur and Emmy Award-winning food personality Giada De Laurentiis. The christening is due to begin at 9 PM CEST, and the event will be livestreamed at 12 PM PDT/3 PM EDT/8 PM BST/9 PM CEST/5 AM AEST (next day) for anyone who wishes to join.

TOKYO: THE GREAT METROPOLIS

3 Nights | Pre- or Post-Cruise Tokyo, Japan

Only icons can truly encapsulate a metropolis as big and bold as Tokyo, especially ones that represent the capital’s extraordinary diversity. For a historical perspective, the 7th-century Sensoji Temple and the National Museum of Nature and Science speak volumes. The Imperial Palace bridges the past and present, as samurai warriors lived in the castle that once stood where Japan’s imperial family now resides. The ultimate view of the city and Mount Fuji in the distance is from atop Tokyo Tower, a symbol of Japan’s rebirth as an economic powerhouse.

This in-depth Tokyo program is available as part of Oceania Cruises’ Free Land Tour Program as a pre-cruise or post-cruise offering on board Riviera’s Japanese Awakening Cruise departing March 9, 2024, 11-day voyage from Seoul to Tokyo; Land of The Rising Sun Cruise departing March 20, 2024, and April 1, 2024, 12-day voyage from Tokyo to Tokyo; and Exalted East Asia Cruise departing April 13, 2024, 15-day voyage from Tokyo to Singapore.

RIO: A CIDADE MARAVILHOSA

3 Nights | Pre- or Post-Cruise Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

It’s hard not to fall in love with Rio, especially when this irrepressible city is presented so beautifully. What better introduction than seeing the highlights from every conceivable angle, including from atop Sugarloaf Mountain, which you reach via cable car. Rio is synonymous with the uber-exuberant festival Carnival, and a behind-the-scenes look divulges exactly how the outlandish floats and lavish costumes are made. Even a taste of Rio leaves you wanting more, so an entire day is devoted to independent exploration.

The Rio: A Cidade Maravilhosa program is available as part of Oceania Cruises’ Free Land Tour Program as a pre-cruise or post-cruise offering on board Marina’s Cape Horn Mariner Cruise departing January 21, 2024, 24-day voyage from Rio de Janeiro to Santiago de Chile; Bountiful Brazil Cruise departing March 5, 2024, 10-day voyage from Buenos Aires to Rio de Janeiro; and Incandescent Amazon Cruise departing March 15, 2024, 21-day voyage from Rio de Janeiro to Miami.

AUTHENTIC BUENOS AIRES

3 Nights | Pre- or Post-Cruise Buenos Aires, Argentina

Live like a local porteño through experiences that genuinely characterize the lifestyle. The capital’s architectural diversity becomes apparent in the boldly colored El Caminito neighborhood and in Casa Rosado, where President Juan Perón and his wife, Evita, famously delivered speeches from the balcony. You may pass her mausoleum in Recoleta Cemetery. The cultural importance of the tango emerges during a sultry dance performance over dinner. Porteños often spend weekends at country ranches much like the estancia where you can watch gauchos while savoring grilled asado and signature Argentine wines.

The Authentic Buenos Aires program is available as part of Oceania Cruises’ Free Land Tour Program as a pre-cruise or post-cruise offering on board Marina’s Legendary Latin America Cruise departing December 18, 2023, 24- day voyage from Lima to Buenos Aires, and Bountiful Brazil Cruise departing March 5, 2024, 10-day voyage from Buenos Aires to Rio de Janeiro. 

CHILEAN WONDERS & WINE 

3 Nights | Post-Cruise Santiago de Chile (San Antonio), Chile

Savor characteristic Chilean wines and drink in the country’s wondrous natural beauty. The foothills on the outskirts of Santiago contribute to an inland terroir that produces enviable wines, as a tasting at Viña Santa Rita confirms. With the towering Andes as a backdrop, the sky-high ski resort Portillo offers spectacular views. The watershed Battle of Chacabuco was fought nearby, leading to Chile’s independence. Colonial architecture clings to the steep hills of Valparaiso, a lovely seaport that earned a UNESCO World Heritage designation for its 19th-century urban landscape.

The Chilean Wonders & Wine program is available as part of Oceania Cruises’ Free Land Tour Program as a post-cruise offering on board Marina’s Cape Horn Mariner Cruise departing January 21, 2024, 24-day voyage from Rio de Janeiro to Santiago de Chile.

LIMA MOSAIC

3 Nights | Pre- or Post-Cruise Lima (Callao), Peru

Delve into the history, heritage and traditions of Peru as you visit top Lima landmarks, discover the ruins of a pre-Columbian city and enjoy a demonstration by Peruvian Paso horses. The archaeological complex of Pachacámac, spanning more than 1,400 acres, happens to be one of Peru’s unsung treasures, and you’ll have the opportunity to stroll the site’s adobe and stone palaces and temple pyramids. Explorations of Lima’s atmospheric main square, lined with stately palaces and ornate churches, and Callao’s colorful and creative epicenter round out this cultural mosaic.

The Lima Mosaic program is available as part of Oceania Cruises’ Free Land Tour Program as a pre-cruise or post-cruise offering on board Marina’s Maya & Inca Origins Cruise departing December 3, 2023, 15-day voyage from Miami to Lima, and Legendary Latin America Cruise departing December 18, 2023, 24-day voyage from Lima to Buenos Aires.

NEW ZEALAND’S NATURAL WONDERS

3 Nights | Pre- or Post-Cruise Auckland, New Zealand

Life is noticeably different beyond Auckland’s city limits. The pace is slower, the air exudes an aura of joy and nature isn’t shy about flaunting her wonders. It won’t take long to embrace the beauty, especially in the fertile farmlands, the ideal setting to savor a flight of wines at a boutique vineyard. It’s easy to lose yourself in natural environments such as Muriwai Beach, where colonies of seabirds ride the offshore updrafts. And what a rare treat to cruise across a deep cavern lake eerily illuminated by thousands of glowworms.

The New Zealand’s Natural Wonders program is available as part of Oceania Cruises’ Free Land Tour Program as a pre-cruise or post-cruise offering on board Regatta’s Maori Heritage Cruise departing February 8, 2024, 16-day voyage Sydney to Auckland, and Dazzling Oceania Cruise departing February 24, 2024, 15-day voyage Auckland to Sydney.

Take the ferry to Goat Island and discover its significance to the Aboriginal people, who own it once again.

Deepen your insight even further by browsing Aboriginal artwork and listening to elders tell spiritual Dreamtime stories.

Make this a holiday to remember while exploring Singapore’s most alluring highlights. A ride on the famous Singapore Flyer complete with Champagne and canapés serves as a memorable prelude, followed by an evening visit to see the holiday light display at Gardens by the Bay, a vast, lush waterfront garden and nature park, which you’ll also have the opportunity to tour by day. Relax on a sightseeing trip along the Singapore River, admire top landmarks, discover Chinatown and walk through several historical districts. Toast to the occasion with a Singapore Sling at Raffles Hotel, an icon of storied elegance dating to 1887.

MAJESTIC EMIRATES

3 Nights | Pre-Cruise Dubai, UAE

See the United Arab Emirates through landmarks that best express its richly layered history and audacious vision for the future. The Emirates’ cultural heritage is engagingly displayed within the waterfront Museum of Islamic Civilization in Sharjah, while the capital of Abu Dhabi showcases more modern attractions, including its Grand Mosque, which holds 40,000 worshipers. The Louvre Abu Dhabi reflects the country’s deep devotion to the arts. Still, the desert dominates most aspects of life, which is why a Bedouin-style dinner amid the sand dunes seems so appropriate.

The Majestic Emirates program is available as part of Oceania Cruises’ Free Land Tour Program as a pre-cruise offering on board Riviera’s Sheiks & Pharaohs Cruise departing May 14, 2024, 15-day voyage Dubai to Jerusalem.

JERUSALEM: A HOLY SANCTUARY

3 Nights | Post-Cruise Jerusalem (Haifa), Israel

The Holy Land becomes all the more meaningful upon viewing its most hallowed destinations. Jerusalem is especially moving, as it holds great symbolic significance for Jews, Christians and Muslims. Consequently, UNESCO deemed the Old City worthy of a World Heritage site designation. The fortress-like Church of Nativity in Bethlehem is another sacred Christian landmark, as it is believed to mark the birthplace of Jesus. The ruins in Caesarea attest to the former grandeur of the seaport that Herod the Great built to honor Emperor Augustus Caesar.

The Jerusalem: A Holy Sanctuary program is available as part of Oceania Cruises’ Free Land Tour Program as a post-cruise offering on board Riviera’s Sheiks & Pharaohs Cruise departing May 14, 2024, 15-day voyage Dubai to Jerusalem.

DUBAI DISCOVERY

3 Nights | Pre-Cruise Dubai, UAE

Marvel at Dubai’s iconic architecture as a prelude to experiencing the city like a local. Photo stops at Jumeirah Mosque and the instantly recognizable Burj Al Arab hotel serve to pique your interest in Dubai. Still, the ultimate view awaits you from the 124th floor of the Burj Khalifa skyscraper. Prepare to be awed. Browsing the souks offers a far more intimate exploration, as does cruising the lagoon in a traditional dhow. A day in Abu Dhabi presents the capital’s charms, including the Louvre Abu Dhabi and Grand Mosque.

The Dubai Discovery program is available as part of Oceania Cruises’ Free Land Tour Program as a pre-cruise offering on board Nautica’s Exotic Eastern Spices Cruise departing December 8, 2023, 20-day voyage Dubai to Singapore.

EXPLORE SINGAPORE

3 Nights | Pre- or Post-Cruise Singapore, Singapore

Prepare to be captivated by the wonders of Singapore, a city-state that rapidly transitioned from a British trading post into an ultra-modern destination. Its multicultural past comes to life in the traditional temples and synagogues on Waterloo Street and in Chinatown’s bewitching maze of narrow roads. Cruising the Singapore River presents yet another perspective of the metropolis while sustainably powered Gardens by the Bay celebrates the bullish future. What better wrap-up than toasting the experience with a Singapore Sling in the legendary Raffles Hotel.

INDIA’S CROWN JEWEL

3 Nights | Pre- or Post-Cruise Mumbai, India

Although watching a radiant sunrise and sunset at the Taj Mahal may well be the highlight of this exploration, it is by no means the only attraction that will leave an indelible impression. The time between these two spectacles can be spent at the UNESCO World Heritage site Agra Fort or at the tomb of Itmad-ud-Daulah, a marble mausoleum known as the “Baby Taj” as it is considered to be the model for the Taj Mahal. Delhi also delights through architecture such as the triumphant arch India Gate.

Come away with a genuine feel for Thailand’s capital after becoming immersed in the captivating culture. Zip through the old city in a 3-wheeled tuk-tuk. Observe vibrant canal life by cruising the meandering Chao Phraya River and stroll the fragrant Pak Khlong Talat flower market. No stone is left unturned as you explore Buddhist temples, Bangkok’s 200-year-old Chinatown and browse lavish longboats in the Royal Barge Museum. The Jim Thompson House reveals the life of the American that revitalized the Thai silk industry before mysteriously disappearing.

The Essence of Bangkok program is available as part of Oceania Cruises’ Free Land Tour Program as a pre-cruise or post-cruise offering on board Riviera’s Islands to Indochina Cruise departing January 28, 2024, 15-day voyage Singapore to Bangkok, and Asian Gulfs & Deltas Cruise departing February 12, 2024, 14-day voyage Bangkok to Hong Kong. 

THE JEWELS OF HONG KONG

3 Nights | Pre- or Post-Cruise Hong Kong, China

Hong Kong dazzles, especially when you see it from the most captivating vantage points. Ride the funicular to soaring Victoria Peak, a sampan boat past Chinese junks in Aberdeen Harbour and a cable car up to Ngong Ping village, home to the once-remote Buddhist monastery Po Lin. Every cherry-picked highlight reveals another fascinating facet of Hong Kong, a metropolis equally proud of its soaring skyscrapers and traditional neighborhoods. Exploring vibrant Stanley Market and watching craftsmen turn gemstones into finished jewelry add cultural nuance.

OCEANIA CRUISES REVEALS EXOTIC EXPLORATIONS IN ASIA WITH NEWLY RE-INSPIRED RIVIERA

Luxury, Cuisine and Cultural Immersion Star in Expanded 2023-2024 Asia & South Pacific Season

Miami, FL, January 24, 2023 – Oceania Cruises, the world’s leading culinary- and destination-focused cruise line, announces that the newly re-inspired Riviera will sail in Asia for the first time due to unprecedented guest demand this 2023-2024 season. The 1,238-guest ship will offer travelers the most stylish way to explore some of the world’s most breathtaking locales across Asia, putting cultural immersion and culinary excellence at the heart of the travel experience.

Better than new, Riviera will stun in Asia by charting her inaugural season in the region, sailing through Arabia, India, Myanmar, Vietnam, China, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and the Philippines. Her new season brings 25 unique voyages ranging from 10 to 82 days. Additionally, Regatta and Nautica will greatly expand the line’s offerings in the exotic South Pacific, with more opportunities to explore sought-after destinations like New Zealand, Australia and French Polynesia than ever before. 

The new sailings have nearly doubled the seasonal availability with 121 itineraries available for bookings across Riviera, Regatta, Insignia and Nautica, cementing Oceania Cruises’ position as the leading destination- and culinary-focused cruise line sailing in Asia.

The announcement of Riviera comes after an unprecedented year in luxury cruising with sales exceeding expectations, breaking numerous records.

“Riviera’s re-inspiration has brought our luxurious product to new heights and the expansion of our Exotics 2023-2024 season means even more of our guests have the opportunity to explore one of the most intriguing corners of the globe,” said Frank A. Del Rio, President of Oceania Cruises. 

“The decision to move Riviera to Asia was easy; demand for our Exotics collection is very strong with our well-traveled guests longing to visit remote, wondrous destinations for off-the-beaten-path experiences. Having Riviera sail this corner of the world, showcasing her new stem-to-stern, better-than-new interiors, is the most stylish, luxurious and relaxing way to explore multiple fascinating cultures while enjoying The Finest Cuisine at Sea on one voyage.”

Riviera’s Asia cruises bring imaginative cultural encounters, ancient treasures and so much more. From the Great Wall and Bangkok’s Grand Palace to the ethereal seascape of Ha Long Bay and Kyoto’s temples and gardens, the sights and landscapes of Asia fill with wonder. The futuristic neon-lit buzzing streets of Hong Kong and Tokyo beguile, along with sacred pagodas and temples, highlighting the Far East’s intriguing blend of the ancient and modern. 

Guests will also have the chance to explore once-forbidden corners of Asia such as Yangon and more off-the-beaten-path locations like the remote island of Ishigaki in Japan and Hue, a former Imperial city situated on Vietnam’s Perfume River. These captivating voyages immerse guests in the best of the iconic attractions of this vast continent but also leave room for the discovery of the unexpected. 

Riviera, Re-inspired

Riviera has had a sweeping rejuvenation with all staterooms and suites debuting reimagined, lavish residential comfort with custom furnishings, wood finishes and designer accents radiating Oceania Cruises’ signature essence of elegance. Some notable highlights of the reimagined vessel include: 

• Concierge Level Veranda Staterooms and Veranda Staterooms are the largest standard staterooms afloat at 291 square feet 

• All staterooms bring a chic, warm and comforting sense of home with sleek restyled bathrooms and novel furnishings

• All stateroom bathrooms feature illustrious Italian marble, bespoke fabrics in harmonious tones evocative of painted deserts and tranquil skies, and each shimmer with the modernity of a Milanese townhouse

• Riviera’s public spaces have all been elevated with plush new carpets and leather-covered armchairs

• All the convivial lounges, tony bars and decadent dining venues have been elegantly restyled, elevating social and epicurean experiences while maintaining the home-away-from-home ambiance

• The Grand Dining Room reflects a renewed sense of grandeur that radiates from the glistening chandelier, plush carpets and butter-soft leather armchairs

• Dining alfresco has been completely revamped with a delightful new trattoria, featuring an array of wood-fired pizzas, succulently grilled Italian specialties, tantalizing salads and indulgent desserts every evening

Incredible Itineraries

Riviera will sail 25 voyages, ranging from 10 to 82 days, offering a raft of destination-rich experiences in ports such as Cochin, India; Yangon, Myanmar; Busan, South Korea; and Phuket and Bangkok in Thailand.

For the first time in Oceania Cruises’ history, Regatta and Nautica boast impressive itineraries across the South Pacific and French Polynesia, with more than 20 voyages highlighting some of the most sought-after ports in the region, including Tahiti, Bora Bora, Moorea, Rangiroa and Raiatea. These South Pacific sailings offer a selection of captivating sojourns for travelers, with voyages ranging from 10 to 41 days, including a return to Australia and New Zealand for Regatta; and Nautica sailing through Arabia, India and Southeast Asia. 

Del Rio commented: “Thanks to these spectacular itineraries, our guests can discover some of the most beautiful and remote destinations in the world, such as little-known islands in Polynesia, in the most luxurious and immersive way possible – by sea. They can also enjoy world-famous city sights in Toyko, Hong Kong, Ho Chi Minh City and Bangkok, to name a few. The breadth of travel experiences on offer across the voyages of our beautifully appointed, elegant small ships is simply unparalleled.”
