Oceania Cruises has created the most extensive plant-based menus at sea as part of their latest innovations in the OceaniaNEXT program to revitalize their fleet.
The cruise line is featuring more than 200 new meatless menu selections in addition to its current gourmet offerings. Vegan plant-based options will be available at breakfast, lunch, and dinner in The Grand Dining Room and Terrace Café and there will also be vegetarian dishes available upon request during dinner service in each of the specialty restaurants.
The new menu offerings are in addition to the line’s vegetarian and Canyon Ranch Healthy Living selections and were developed by Oceania Cruises’ culinary leadership team in concert with master chef, culinary instructor, and author Christophe Berg.
The range of cuisines includes Italian, Greek, Middle Eastern, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Mexican, Italian and Malaysian. There are healthy Power Bowls and Poke Bowls, hearty pastas and pad Thai, refreshing salads and soups and even a variety of what Oceania calls surprisingly decadent items to choose from. They include an Impossible Cheeseburger, truffle mac and cheese, and an apple-oatmeal crumble with plant-based vanilla ice cream and coco-vanilla cashew crème brûlée.
“These new plant-based options are flavorful, colorful, bold, and creative. Our hallmark finest cuisine at sea now provides an innovative and appealing menu of choices that reflect our guests’ evolving palates and heightened focus on wellness while balancing our more decadent and extravagant dishes,” stated Bob Binder, president & CEO of Oceania Cruises.
