Oceania Cruises has consistently elevated and innovated in the food and beverage space. The brand’s culinary team is truly the finest at sea, being the only team in the industry helmed by two Master Chefs of France: Alexis Quaretti, Senior Culinary Director, and Eric Barale, Vice President of Culinary. “Oceania Cruises is a cruise line built by foodies, run by foodies, for foodies, so the collaboration with Food & Wine is a natural one,” said Frank A. Del Rio, President of Oceania Cruises. “Both brands are powerhouses in the culinary space and cater to the most discerning clientele. Oceania Cruises has been dedicated to serving The Finest Cuisine at Sea for the past 20 years, so we are thrilled to be joining forces with the incredible team at Food & Wine.” Hunter Lewis, Editor in Chief of Food & Wine, said “This is a one-of-a-kind way to share in Oceania Cruises’ commitment to culinary excellence and bring Food & Wine to life on board for the guests.”
