For those with a taste for adventure and gourmet experiences, Oceania Cruises® is poised to delight travelers with its newest indulgence: the Gérard Bertrand Food and Wine Pairing lunch. Launching aboard the Oceania Allura™ during its inaugural voyage on July 18, 2025, this signature culinary journey promises to take food lovers on a unique voyage through the vineyards of the South of France, ensuring that each dish served is paired with hand-picked Gérard Bertrand wines.

A Deep Dive into Culinary Artistry

The six-course lunch pairs exquisite dishes with premium wines to showcase the artistry and sustainability that Gérard Bertrand wines represent. Guests can expect a curated menu filled with unique flavor profiles designed to illuminate the beauty of food and wine pairing. The event will be hosted in the intimate confines of the acclaimed Jacques French restaurant on board, providing an up-close experience with Oceania Cruises’ expert chefs and sommeliers.

For Everyone: From Connoisseurs to Novices

Oceania’s new dining experience caters to a broad audience, ensuring that culinary enthusiasts and curious novices alike can appreciate the artistry behind each dish and wine selection. With only 40 seats available, priced at $175 per person (excluding gratuities) on selected voyage days, this exclusive meal offers not just delicious food, but also education and personal engagement that enhances the overall travel experience.

Building Connections Through Food

Oceania Cruises understands that modern travelers are looking for more than just a vacation; they crave immersive experiences that create lasting memories. "At Oceania Cruises, we always seek unique ways to inspire curiosity and create deeper connections through our onboard offerings," explains Jason Montague, the Chief Luxury Officer. The Gérard Bertrand Food and Wine Pairing experience is the perfect illustration of this philosophy, blending cultural exploration with culinary excellence.

The Perfect Family Holiday

Traveling with family can feel overwhelming, especially when balancing various interests. However, this culinary offering is not just for the adults! Teaching children about different cultures through the lens of food can create enriching experiences. Kids can witness firsthand how flavors come together and even participate in cooking classes that Oceania is famous for, making the cruise a wholesome educational trip for families who value experiences above all.

Emphasizing Sustainable Practices

The collaboration with Gérard Bertrand highlights a commitment to organic and biodynamic practices. By choosing wines made with sustainable methods, Oceania Cruises sets an example for responsible travel, ensuring that guests can enjoy their meals wholeheartedly, knowing they are supporting eco-friendly practices. This modern approach is vital for families who wish to raise environmentally conscious children and enjoy travel that honors sustainability.

What to Look Forward to During the Voyage

The launch of the Gérard Bertrand experience promises to be just the beginning. Oceania Cruises plans to implement this offering aboard the Oceania Vista® in September and also on Oceania Marina™ and Oceania Riviera™ by 2026. As these vessels set sail, guests can anticipate more unique culinary classes, immersive tastings, and perhaps even expert-led excursions to regional wine areas as part of their cruise package.
