The Grand Dining Room is described as the “grand dame of Oceania Cruises’ culinary world.” This signature dining experience will have new array of options from Chef Jacques Pépin in addition to an all-new tasting menu. Menus change daily with a choice of at least 10 appetizers, soups and salads and 10 entrées.

Polo Grill will feature a classic steakhouse experience. Of the beef dishes, all will be 28-day dry aged certified Black Angus USDA Prime in addition to seafood dishes such as grilled swordfish and whole Maine lobster gratinée.

According to Oceania, Toscana presents an evolution of Tuscan cuisine, listing octopus carpaccio with Champagne vinaigrette, artichoke and parmesan cheese timbale with black truffle sauce, hand-rolled gnocchi with pesto, risotto with lobster medallions and shallots, pan-seared sea bass filet with Sorrento lemon, chardonnay and capers.

Terrace Café will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner informally and alfresco. Oceania said that a varied menu of hot and cold specialties changes daily along with the chef’s market dinners featuring locally inspired specialties from the ports of call.

Waves Grill is the setting for all-American favorites, including burgers and sides of fresh salads, coleslaw and hand-cut fries.
