Oceania Cruises has announced the unveiling of a new culinary venue, the Crêperie, which will be featured on its newest ship, Allura, set to launch in July 2025. The Crêperie will be located next to Baristas, the cruise line’s signature coffee bar, and will serve a variety of French crêpes, Bruxelles waffles, and bubble waffles, as well as Italian ice cream sundaes from mid-morning throughout the afternoon.
Executive Culinary Directors Alex Quaretti and Eric Barale have created over 20 unique recipes for the Crêperie, including options like the classic crêpe Suzette and Bruxelles waffles with banana, salted caramel sauce, and whipped cream. Guests will also have the opportunity to customize their sweet treats, providing endless combinations to choose from.
Frank A. Del Rio, President of Oceania Cruises, emphasized the importance of food in the cruise line’s offerings, stating that “The Finest Cuisine at Sea®” is not just a tagline but a philosophy that drives their business. The addition of the Crêperie on board Allura will provide guests with even more culinary choices, all included in their cruise experience.
Chef Alex Quaretti expressed excitement about the new Crêperie concept, highlighting the range of delicious options available to guests. The Crêperie will join an array of dining venues on Allura, including the Grand Dining Room, Terrace Café, Polo Grill, and more.
Allura will be the eighth vessel for Oceania Cruises and will feature one chef for every 10 guests, ensuring a focus on culinary experiences. The ship will also offer spacious staterooms, immersive shore excursions, onboard enrichment activities, and a variety of dining options, including Ember and Aquamar Kitchen.
In addition to the Crêperie, guests on Oceania Cruises will enjoy a range of amenities included in their cruise experience, such as dining at gourmet specialty restaurants, unlimited WiFi, and gratuities for staff.
