Oceania unveils Paris-inspired wine-pairing dinner – Travel Weekly

Oceania Cruises has started offering a seven-course French dinner with wine pairings on two of its ships.

The La Cuisine Bourgeoise menu is served on Oceania's two larger ships, the Marina and Riviera, in an intimate dining venue called La Reserve by Wine Spectator.

The menu, priced at $112 per person including gratuity, was created by Oceania executive culinary director Jacques Pepin as a tribute to the Hotel Plaza Athenee and other legendary Parisian dining venues of the mid-20th century.

Starting with a Kir Royal, the dinner offers lobster and cheese souffle, a filet de sole or filet de boeuf, soup, cheeses, pink praline cream puffs and baked Alaska for dessert.

"This is an experience you can't have anywhere else and one that will create memories for a lifetime," said Oceania president Bob Binder. "It is the epitome of special."

Seating for the dinner will be limited to 24 guests. Reservations are required.
