Oceania Cruises announces new Crêperie dining venue aboard Allura

Oceania Cruises, recognised for its focus on culinary and destination-driven experiences, has announced details of a new dining venue, the Crêperie, set to debut aboard its latest ship, Allura, in July 2025.

Located adjacent to Baristas, Oceania’s popular coffee bar, the Crêperie will feature an array of French crêpes, Bruxelles waffles, and bubble waffles, alongside Italian ice cream sundaes, serving guests from mid-morning through the afternoon.

The menu for the Crêperie has been crafted by Oceania Cruises’ Executive Culinary Directors and Master Chefs of France, Alex Quaretti and Eric Barale, and will feature more than 20 options, including the traditional crêpe Suzette and Bruxelles waffles topped with banana, salted caramel sauce, and whipped cream.

Guests can also customise their own sweet creations, offering a variety of combinations.

“Allura, our eighth elegant small ship, represents the next step in Oceania Cruises’ evolution and a new way of exploring the world. Food is at the heart of everything we do at Oceania Cruises; The Finest Cuisine at Sea is not just a tagline, it’s a philosophy which drives our whole business,” said Frank A. Del Rio, President of Oceania Cruises.

“However, finest does not always mean the fanciest – and our more relaxed, yet still refined, culinary venues, such as the beautiful new Crêperie aboard Allura, is a perfect example of this,” he added.

Chef Alex Quaretti expressed his enthusiasm for the new venue, noting that the Crêperie will enhance the culinary options onboard Allura, especially with its proximity to other popular spots like Baristas and the Bakery.

The Crêperie will be one of 12 dining venues aboard Allura
