The Ultimate Foodie's Guide to Luxury Cruising
Dining al fresco at The Marquee on the Silversea Silver Nova
Forget everything you thought you knew about cruise dining. Today's luxury cruise ships aren't just floating resorts – they're floating epicurean empires where Michelin-starred chefs create magic, cooking classes unlock culinary secrets, and every port brings new flavors to your plate.
A Star-Studded Culinary Journey
Imagine dining at a different world-class restaurant every night without leaving your hotel. That's the reality aboard today's luxury cruise ships. Take Oceania Cruises' Marina, where legendary chef Jacques Pépin's signature restaurant "Jacques" serves up impeccable French cuisine with a modern twist. Picture yourself savoring his perfectly executed Dover sole meunière while gliding through the Mediterranean.
Jaques, true french cuisine
Each dish is a classic, ingeniously reinterpreted by Master Chef Pépin at Jaques, on Oceania Cruise
