Oceania Cruises Dining
Every specialty restaurant. Every meal. Every flavour — always included in your fare. Discover why Oceania Cruises is renowned as the world's greatest culinary cruise line.
Culinary Philosophy
For Oceania Cruises, food is not simply an amenity — it is the very heart of the experience. Since the line's founding, exceptional cuisine has been the cornerstone of every voyage, with menus inspired by the destinations Oceania visits and crafted by some of the world's most celebrated culinary talents.
Unlike other cruise lines, where specialty dining often attracts surcharges, Oceania includes every specialty restaurant in every fare through the Your World Included™ programme. From the first breakfast to the final evening, every meal is a destination in itself.

Specialty Restaurants — All Included
Every Oceania ship features a carefully curated collection of specialty restaurants, each with its own distinct culinary identity. Restaurant availability varies by ship — the Allura Class ships, Marina & Riviera, and the Regatta Class each have their own tailored dining line-up, all fully included in your fare.
All Ships · Open for All Meals
The heart of every Oceania ship, the Grand Dining Room offers refined open-seating dining for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Menus change daily and feature dishes inspired by the destinations on your itinerary, prepared with the same level of care and craftsmanship as any specialty restaurant.
All Ships · Dinner
Oceania's signature steakhouse delivers the ultimate classic dining experience. USDA Prime dry-aged beef, fresh lobster thermidor, jumbo shrimp cocktail and flambéed desserts are served in a warm, traditional atmosphere reminiscent of the world's great steakhouse restaurants.
All Ships · Dinner
An ode to Northern Italian culinary tradition, Toscana celebrates the finest ingredients and time-honoured recipes. Handmade pastas, house-cured meats, a thoughtful selection of imported olive oils and balsamic vinegars, and classic Italian dishes crafted with genuine artisan care make every visit an occasion.
All Ships · Dinner
Red Ginger presents modern Asian cuisine at its most refined — bold contemporary interpretations of classic dishes from across Asia, including miso-glazed sea bass, artfully prepared sushi and sashimi, aromatic curries and wok-fired specialities, served in a strikingly beautiful, jewel-toned setting.
Allura Class Ships · Dinner
Exclusive to the new Allura Class, Ember celebrates the very best of contemporary American cuisine. Elevated comfort classics — braised short ribs, crab cakes, signature burgers, perfectly grilled fish and indulgent desserts — are presented with sophistication in a warm, modern setting that invites relaxed, convivial dining.
Marina & Riviera · Dinner
Named in honour of the legendary chef Jacques Pépin, this beloved French brasserie transports guests to the convivial warmth of a classic Parisian bistro. Authentic French technique, exceptional regional produce and time-honoured recipes — from duck confit to profiteroles — make Jacques a highlight of any voyage aboard Marina or Riviera.
Allura Class Ships · Breakfast & Lunch
First introduced on Oceania Vista, Aquamar Kitchen brings a wellness-inspired approach to onboard dining. Wholesome, beautifully prepared dishes celebrate fresh, seasonal ingredients — offering nourishing, flavour-forward options for breakfast and lunch that prove healthy eating is never a compromise on taste.
Marina & Riviera · Wine Pairing Dinners
A collaboration between Oceania Cruises and the prestigious Wine Spectator magazine, La Reserve is an intimate wine-pairing dining experience for a maximum of 24 guests. Curated menus are designed to complement hand-selected, cellar-worthy wines from the world's most celebrated regions. Reservation required; wine surcharge applies.
Marina & Riviera · Private Dining
The ultimate expression of private dining at sea, Privée accommodates a single party of up to eight guests in an entirely exclusive setting. A personalised menu is crafted to your exact preferences — an unforgettable setting for celebrations, anniversaries or any occasion that deserves something truly extraordinary.
Restaurant availability, menus and opening times vary by ship and sailing. Confirm specific venue availability for your chosen itinerary with KBN Travel before booking.
New for 2027 — Oceania Sonata
When Oceania Sonata launches in August 2027, she will introduce two entirely new dining concepts to the fleet — raising the bar for what culinary excellence at sea can mean.
Oceania Sonata · From August 2027
A prestigious and exclusive French chef's table experience created in collaboration with the Maîtres Cuisiniers de France — the most distinguished association of French culinary masters. An intimate, theatrical dining event for a small number of guests, celebrating the very finest traditions of French haute cuisine.
Oceania Sonata · From August 2027
Nikkei cuisine — the vibrant culinary marriage of Peruvian and Japanese traditions — takes centre stage at this groundbreaking new restaurant. Expect bold, inventive dishes that blend South American vitality with Japanese precision: tiraditos, ceviches reimagined with Japanese technique, and umami-rich dishes that reflect the remarkable cross-cultural story of Nikkei cooking.
Beyond the Restaurants
Oceania's commitment to cuisine goes far beyond the restaurant table. From immersive cooking classes to casual all-day dining, every aspect of the onboard food experience is designed to inspire and delight.
A state-of-the-art teaching kitchen where hands-on cooking classes are led by professional chefs. Classes are destination-inspired — learn to prepare Moroccan tagines, Japanese sushi or Provençal classics.
An al fresco buffet restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner with beautiful views of the sea. In the evenings, the Terrace Café transforms into an open-air grill featuring premium cuts and fresh seafood.
For casual poolside dining with a gourmet twist — hand-crafted burgers, grilled fish tacos, fresh salads and made-to-order smoothies. The relaxed, open-air atmosphere makes Waves Grill a favourite for sunny sea days.
An artisan coffee bar serving expertly crafted espresso drinks alongside freshly baked French and Italian pastries from The Bakery at Baristas — the perfect morning ritual before a day of exploring.
