Oceania Cruises adds the Crêperie to Allura, launching July 2025

Oceania Cruises has unveiled details of its new culinary venue, the Crêperie, debuting on Allura, its newest ship launching in July 2025.

The Crêperie, located next to Baristas, the line’s signature coffee bar, will offer a selection of tempting French crêpes, Bruxelles waffles and bubble waffles, alongside Italian ice cream sundaes, from mid-morning throughout the afternoon.

Oceania Cruises’ executive culinary directors and resident master chefs of France, Alex Quaretti and Eric Barale, have developed more than 20 recipes for the new venue.

The menu options, including the French classic crêpe Suzette as well as Bruxelles waffles with fresh banana, salted caramel sauce, and whipped cream, sit alongside the opportunity for guests to customize and create their own perfect sweet treat, opening the door to seemingly endless possible combinations.

“I know our guests will be delighted by the range of delicious fluffy waffles, delicate crêpes, and myriad flavours of Italian ice cream served in a bubble waffle wrap, cone or bowl – the challenge will be choosing which toppings,” chef Quaretti said. “Among my personal favourites is the French crêpe with Nutella and whipped cream – it reminds me of being taught how to cook the perfect crêpe by my grandmother when I was growing up.”

Chefs Alex and Eric are hard at work finalizing other menu developments specifically for Allura, plus other new culinary initiatives to be rolled out across the eight-ship fleet next year. More announcements are to come in the next few months.
