Oceania Cruises Allura: An Unrivaled Culinary Experience at Sea in 2025

Oceania Cruises is preparing for a landmark culinary moment with the launch of its new ship, Allura, in July 2025. Accommodating 1,200 guests, this luxury vessel will offer not only remarkable destinations but also more than 270 new recipes across its menus — making gastronomy one of the most memorable experiences on board. With an unwavering focus on quality and creativity, the new dishes will be available across all three dining occasions: breakfast, lunch, and dinner, delivering an unmatched culinary experience to every guest.

The Grand Dining Room will serve as the gastronomic heart of the Oceania Cruises experience. Among its most notable innovations is a dedicated section devoted to Eggs Benedict, promising to delight breakfast enthusiasts with both classic and contemporary interpretations. At lunch, the menu draws inspiration from the refined tradition of the French bistro, where authentic flavors and artful presentation converge to create an unforgettable dining experience.

At breakfast, guests will find a selection of more than 30 new recipes to explore. Inventive offerings such as Florentine Eggs Benedict and a Zucchini Waffle with smoked salmon speak to Oceania Cruises‘s commitment to delivering fresh and exciting options. This renewed approach transforms each morning into a celebration of flavor and texture, ensuring guests begin their day with both energy and satisfaction.

At lunch, The Grand Dining Room reinvents itself as La Brasserie, where guests may indulge in the classics of French cuisine — from Coq au Vin to Blanquette de Veau à l’Ancienne. The new menu honors the culinary traditions of France while giving them a modern sensibility, offering everything from vegetarian selections to exquisite charcuterie boards. The breadth of flavors invites guests to explore the full range of French gastronomy without ever leaving the open sea.

Dinner at The Grand Dining Room promises a gala culinary experience, with more than 200 new recipes that embody the innovation and quality defining Oceania Cruises. From Korean BBQ Short Rib to Seafood Vol-au-Vent, each dish has been meticulously crafted to satisfy the most discerning palate. Frank A. del Río, President of the line, has long maintained that gastronomy is the cornerstone of the Oceania experience — and these new menus stand as the most eloquent testament yet to that commitment. Allura is poised to elevate shipboard dining to an entirely new standard, reaffirming the line’s position as the undisputed home of the finest cuisine at sea.
