Oceania Cruises®, the world's leading culinary- and destination-focused luxury cruise line, shared new details of La Table par Maîtres Cuisiniers de France, its highly anticipated new dining venue debuting aboard the brand's next-generation ship, Oceania Sonata.

A landmark culinary collaboration, La Table is the first and only restaurant at sea to be launched with the prestigious approval of the Maîtres Cuisiniers de France, an internationally revered institution dedicated to preserving and advancing the heritage of French gastronomy. This endorsement reflects the integrity behind Oceania Cruises' longstanding dedication to culinary excellence.

Intimate by design, La Table will be the most exclusive fine dining venue at sea, welcoming just 18 guests and offering a refined, reservation-only dining experience that embraces classic French techniques and innovative pairings.

As the only cruise line with two Master Chefs of France leading its culinary program - Executive Culinary Directors Chef Alexis Quaretti and Chef Eric Barale - Oceania Cruises continues to set the gold standard for dining at sea. The rotating menu will showcase an array of meticulously crafted dishes, created in close collaboration with a selection of invited Master Chefs of France from across the globe.

The menus will spotlight exquisite expressions of French culinary artistry, from delicate Granny Smith apple and langoustine tartlets to escargot‑stuffed Dover sole topped with rosace vegetables and a white wine sauce. Signature creations such as a spider crab potato roll crowned with Sturia Oscietra caviar display the precision and contemporary flair that define La Table. Chefs Quaretti and Barale and their talented teams will continually refine and evolve the menu, ensuring an ever‑changing celebration of French culinary excellence.

The introduction of La Table reaffirms and augments the philosophy which has been at the heart of Oceania Cruises since its inception: to serve The Finest Cuisine at Sea®. The venue will also host Oceania Cruises' acclaimed Dom Pérignon Experience, featuring a six-course tasting menu paired with three exceptional Champagne vintages.

In addition to La Table and the newly introduced Nikkei Kitchen, Oceania Sonata will present ten best-in-class culinary venues, including the iconic Grand Dining Room and Oceania Cruises' signature specialty restaurants: Jacques, the line's refined French venue; pan-Asian Red Ginger; classic steakhouse Polo Grill; and Toscana, renowned for its authentic Italian cuisine.
