Sarah Bretz, ContributorOceania Cruises has announced details on its new culinary venue, the Crêperie, which will be debuting on its newest ship Allura.
The Crêperie, located next to the coffee bar Baristas, will offer a selection of French crêpes, Bruxelles waffles, bubble waffles, and Italian ice cream sundaes from mid-morning throughout the afternoon.
Oceania’s Executive Culinary Directors and resident Master Chefs of France, Alex Quaretti and Eric Barale, have developed more than 20 recipes for the new venue. The menu includes options such as French classic crêpe Suzette and Bruxelles waffles with fresh banana, salted caramel sauce, and whipped cream. Guests also have the opportunity to customize and create their own sweet treat.
“Allura, our eighth elegant small ship, represents the next step in Oceania Cruises’ evolution and a new way of exploring the world. Food is at the heart of everything we do at Oceania Cruises; The Finest Cuisine at Sea is not just a tagline, it’s a philosophy which drives our whole business,” said Frank A. Del Rio, President of Oceania Cruises.
“However, finest does not always mean the fanciest – and our more relaxed, yet still refined, culinary venues, such as the beautiful new Crêperie aboard Allura, is a perfect example of this. With this addition on board Allura, our guests have never had more choice in what to eat and when – and of course all our dining venues on board are included for all guests free of charge.”
Chefs Alex and Eric are working to finalize other menu developments specifically for Allura, plus other culinary initiatives rolling out across the fleet next year.
Like all of the other dining venues on Oceania, the Crêperie will be included in the cruise fare.
Allura is the eighth vessel in Oceania Cruises’ fleet and is the second Allura-class ship following Vista, which launched in spring 2023.
