TRUE FOODIE HEAVEN

Learn, taste and immerse yourself in the culinary arts aboard the ultimate holiday adventure for food lovers: the Culinary Luminaries’ Cruise by Oceania Cruises. True foodie heaven sets sail on October 2024, and there’s a seat at the dining table for you. Amongst other gourmands and culinary afficionados, spend 10 days aboard Oceania Cruises’ luxurious and recently refurbished ship,

Marina, as the first ever Culinary Luminaries’ Cruise departs for a gastronomic feast across the Mediterranean.

As guests explore celebrated culinary destinations from Malta to Greece to Italy, Master Chefs of France, Alexis Quaretti and Eric Barale will bring local ingredients onboard to curate a culinary experience like no other. Chefs Alexis and Eric will share their expert insights with panel discussions and live cooking demonstrations, so you won’t simply savour the taste of their French-inspired food – you will experience it from planning to plating.

Rubbing shoulders with other epicurean adventurers at Oceania Cruises’ legendary signature gala seafood brunch – a fine dining experience usually reserved for ship launches

– is a highlight of the cruise, as are the themed Chef’s Market Dinners in The Terrace Cafe, inspired by fresh seasonal ingredients from local markets. And not just any local market from any average city – but Mediterranean and Adriatic delights such as Naples, Italy, the birthplace of pizza; Katakolon, Greece, with wafts of moussaka; and Split, Croatia, where fresh seafood is served alongside spectacular scenery.

The shore excursions within these ports are tantalising in both taste and experience, but you can also enjoy a lesson at the ship’s state-ofthe-art cooking school, the Culinary Center, sip away at an expert-led wine tasting, or even host an exclusive private dinner event. With half the entire crew on board dedicated to the cooking or serving of The Finest Cuisine at Sea®, you are in the finest culinary hands at sea.
