Oceania Cruises has announced the second phase of culinary enhancements rolling out across its small-ship fleet as part of the OceaniaNEXT program. According to a press release, this next phase brings new wine tasting programs, expanded in-room dining offerings and a souffl\u00e9 of the day in The Grand Dining Room.<\/p>\n

The enhancements follow the May introduction of new dining experiences, menus and elevated service levels. The new updates have already launched onboard the Marina and Riviera and will debut on the Insignia, Nautica, Regatta, and Sirena as each vessel returns to sailing, the cruise line said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe OceaniaNEXT enhancements continue to elevate\u00a0The Finest Cuisine at Sea<\/em>\u00a0to be even better than ever,\u201d said Bob Binder, president and CEO of Oceania Cruises. \u201cNever resting on our laurels, we continue to challenge ourselves to raise the bar to continually delight our guests. Across all six of our ships, the creativity and dedication of the Oceania Cruises culinary team continue to create memorable experiences for our guests.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dining in can be as enjoyable as dining out, Oceania Cruises said in the press announcement. The cruise line\u2019s culinary team has thus revitalized the in-room dining menu to include more options for every meal. New appetizers include Plant-Based California Rolls, an Antipasti Plate, and Shrimp Cocktail, with new soups and salads including Grilled Salmon Salad and Miso Ramen Soup. The new burger menu brings an Alaskan Salmon Burger and an Impossible Burger to the in-room dining experience, while new entr\u00e9es include a Petite Beef Filet, Thai Coconut Red Curry, a Hawaiian Poke Bowl, and a Mezze Platter. For those with a sweet tooth at any hour, new dessert options include Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream, \u201cPure Energy\u201d Smoothies, and a Chocolate Mousse Cake.<\/p>\n

The option of ordering a full hot breakfast has been added to all staterooms and suites. Guests can choose from an array of options including eggs prepared to one\u2019s liking (scrambled, over easy, hard-boiled, etc.), omelets, avocado toast, pancakes or French toast along with sides including bacon, sausage, and hash browns. The in-room dining remains complimentary to all guests.<\/p>\n

Oceania Cruises’ culinary team has also added the\u00a0Souffl\u00e9 of the Day<\/em>\u00a0in The Grand Dining Room. According to the press release, this dessert is a favorite onboard, so the culinary team developed a rotating menu of it, which also features some “reimagined spins on the classic.” These include:<\/p>\n
