Oceania Cruises Introduces Crêperie on Allura for 2025 Launch

Oceania Cruises has revealed plans for a new culinary venue, the Crêperie, which will debut on the soon-to-be-launched Allura in July 2025, according to a press release.

Positioned next to Baristas, Oceania’s signature coffee bar, the Crêperie will serve a variety of French crêpes, Bruxelles waffles, bubble waffles, and Italian ice cream sundaes, available from late morning through the afternoon.

The menu, developed by Executive Culinary Directors and Master Chefs of France, Alex Quaretti and Eric Barale, will feature more than 20 offerings. Guests can enjoy classic options like crêpe Suzette or create their own customizable treats for a wide range of flavors.

“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. With this addition on board Allura, our guests have never had more choice in what to eat and when – and of course all our dining venues on board are included for all guests free of charge,” he added.

Chef Alex Quaretti shared his excitement, saying: “We cannot wait for Allura to join the fleet, and the new Crêperie concept is a great addition to our onboard culinary venues. Located next to Baristas, and just around the corner from the very popular Bakery, the new Crêperie completes this sociable and temptingly delicious corner of the ship.

“I know our guests will be delighted by the range of delicious fluffy waffles, delicate crêpes, and myriad flavors of Italian ice cream served in a bubble waffle wrap, cone or bowl – the challenge will be choosing which toppings. Among my personal favorites is the French crêpe with Nutella and whipped cream – it reminds me of being taught how to cook the perfect crêpe by my grandmother when I was growing up.”

Chefs Alex and Eric are also developing other exciting menu options for Allura and will introduce additional culinary innovations across Oceania’s eight-ship fleet next year. More announcements are expected in the coming months.
