The Grand Dining Room
The elegant Grand Dining Room is the star of the Oceania Cruises dining show. It is modeled after the five-star restaurants of Europe's marquee hotels and features a sophisticated yet relaxed ambiance. The menu changes daily to offer an assortment of globally inspired dishes, including gourmet vegetarian selections.

Toscana
A specialty dinner restaurant onboard the Marina, Riviera, Regatta, Insignia, and Nautica, Toscana serves up authentic Italian fare inspired by the family recipes of Oceania's Italian culinary staff. Delight in authentic dishes like octopus carpaccio and minestrone alla Genovese served on beautiful Versace china.
Polo Grill
Polo Grill is a traditional steakhouse with all the classic elements, right down to the crisp linen tablecloths and dark wood furniture. Choose from a selection of quintessential steakhouse dishes, including certified Black Angus USDA Prime, whole Maine lobster gratinée, and the perfect Caesar salad.
Jacques
Don't skip this dinner option onboard the Marina and Riviera. Named for Chef Pépin, Jacques is a fine French restaurant in the style of a Parisian Bistro. The space is filled with antiques and art, and the menu consists of rotisserie chicken, pork, beef, duck, and veal classics.

Red Ginger
Another unforgettable dinner spot on the Marina, Riviera, and Sirena, Red Ginger serves up Asian classics like Thai vegetable curry and Malaysian beef penang. A harmonious setting with a waterfall, Asian artwork, and ebony wood encourages a relaxing dining experience.
Tuscan Steak
Tuscan Steak combines the best elements of Toscana and Polo Grill onboard the Sirena. This modern spin on a traditional steakhouse offers rustic Italian favorites along with classic steakhouse seafood. Glossy wood paneling and elegant decor set the stage for the meal.
La Reserve by Wine Spectator

Waves Grill
Dine alfresco and enjoy the ocean breeze at the laid-back yet classy Waves Grill located right by the swimming pool. Sample some All-American favorites like burgers, sandwiches, hand-cut fries, and decadent homemade sorbet. On the Marina and Riviera, Waves Grill also has the new Raw Juice & Smoothie Bar for cold-pressed vegan breakfast smoothies.

Baristas
Coffee lovers can get their fix all day until the early evening at Baristas, the coffee bar on every ship. Master baristas are ready to craft your favorite espresso drinks and serve them up with pastries and sandwiches.
Horizons
Every day at 4 pm, Horizons hosts a traditional teatime complete with artisanal teas, a pastry cart, finger sandwiches, scones, petit fours, and sweet desserts, all to the melody of a classic string quartet.
Not only does Oceania Cruises offer so many incredible restaurants, but each one features an extensive menu to choose from. Colleen McDaniel from Cruise Critic suggests asking servers for recommendations if you have a hard time deciding from the numerous mouth-watering options. She also advises that reservations fill up quickly, especially on sea days or port days with a pre-dinner departure, so make sure you book well in advance. Some travelers may also be happy to know that vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and Kosher dining requests can be accommodated.
