A Bon Vivant Exclusive - Sailing on Oceania Cruises' Riviera

It goes without saying that on a cruise one can expect to dine in nice restaurants and enjoy a variety of cuisines. One cruise line,
however, stands head and shoulders above the rest: Oceania Cruises. Launched in 2002 as the world’s only upper-premium cruise
line, the mantra for this relatively new company is to offer the finest cuisine at sea in a variety of stylish and sophisticated open
seating restaurants all at no charge. And, Oceania Cruises provides unparalleled personal service to make every voyage memorable.
ENJOYING THE BON VIVANT LIFE ONBOARD OCEANIA CRUISES RIVIERA
Oceania Cruises Riviera offers food-lovers and gourmands the ultimate
in culinary experiences including six, open-seating gourmet restaurants
with no surcharge. La Reserve is an intimate, private wine cellar-like
space created in collaboration with Wine Spectator Magazine and
offers enlightening wine and food pairings. Also notable is the Bon
Appétit Culinary Center, the only hands-on cooking school at sea.
