CHEFS ON TOUR

FRANCK GARANGER, OCEANIA CRUISES’ CORPORATE EXECUTIVE CHEF, ASKS YOU TO JOIN HIM ON A PALATE-PIQUING CELEBRATION OF CHAMPAGNE WITH THE EXCLUSIVE DOM PÉRIGNON EXPERIENCE. Do you enjoy the finer things in life? What about an indulgent, decadent fine dining experience exquisitely paired with a glass of premium vintage champagne? Or cruising the world aboard a small, luxurious ship renowned for serving The Finest Cuisine at Sea®?

A one-of-a-kind culinary affair, the event is a perfect marriage of six exquisite courses with a different expression and vintage of Dom Pérignon’s acclaimed champagne. Only offered on the

Riviera and Marina, for a maximum of 24 guests, the Dom Pérignon Experience tasting menu has been designed by Oceania Cruises’ culinary team, alongside the team at La Maison Dom Pérignon.

Each champagne vintage pairs effortlessly with two indulgent dishes, specially crafted to highlight the nuances of the blends. Take the Brittany blue lobster and black truffle risotto, which

Franck considers the perfect complement to the understated yet rich palate of Dom Pérignon 2006. Or the scallops “Rossini” and “Geisha flower” ice cream, both of which he mentions pair perfectly with the fresh citrus notes running through the Dom Pérignon 2009 vintage.

As for the subtle toastiness of the Dom Pérignon 2004, Franck notes that pairing it with the seared wagyu beef sashimi and a French AOC cheese plate will make for a memorable culinary experience.

Franck invites discerning guests to savour these rare vintages, from subtle and effervescent on the nose to a lively and satisfying finish, while celebrating the finest, freshest ingredients onboard Oceania Cruises. After all, celebration is what champagne is all about. Cheers to that!
