Vista Ship Dining

Vista serves up a fresh perspective on The Finest Cuisine at Sea and reaches new pinnacles of creativity and diversity with an astounding array of dining options that range from informal to extravagant. In addition to the tried and true favorites that guests adore, Vista offers three new indulgent venues. Never content to rest on laurels, even the expected has become the unexpected through a dramatic re-inspiration of every dining space from decor to table setting to menu offerings.

  • The Grand Dining Room: The Grand Dining Room is the luxurious grand dame of Oceania Cruises' culinary world. Here, guests will savor a leisurely dining experience in a truly magnificent and inspired room whose ambiance soars to equally lofty heights as the cuisine. This signature dining experience has always offered a bevy of delicious Continental dishes, and now a fresh and new array of options brings even more exciting possibilities. Every day presents a realm of choices, from signature Jacques Pepin classics to an incredible spectrum of global flavors and an all-new Executive Chef's Tasting Menu. Menus change daily with an expansive choice of at least 10 appetizers, soups, and salads, and 10 dinner entrees, along with healthy options such as Aquamar Vitality Cuisine.
  • Ember: When the fuel of classic American dishes meets the fire of culinary masters in a sophisticated setting reminiscent of a Napa or Sonoma tasting room, Ember is the glorious result. A celebration of influences from the world's great chefs such as its own Executive Culinary Director, Jacques Pepin, Ember is heartland innovation in relentless pursuit of a Michelin star rating. Begin with the sweet heat of a blackened crab cake with fresh corn salsa and acidic roasted tomato sauce or dive into the salty delights of a roasted beetroot salad with tangy goat cheese, delicate shallots, seared green beans, and toasted hazelnuts. Savor a succulent steak prepared to your liking, relishing the umami of a porcini-dusted bone-in ribeye with an unctuous foie gras-truffle demi-glace and the seasoned crunch of breadcrumb-crusted tomato Provencale. For dessert, a roasted apple tart with nutty notes served with Humphry Slocombe sweet summer corn ice cream is a novel nod to the evolving complexity of American farm-to-table cuisine.
  • Polo Grill: Polo Grill delights diners with the ultimate classic steakhouse experience presented with timeless reverence. Richly layered decor and an abundance of custom millwork create an imaginative rendition of tradition set against crisp white linen tablecloths while a cadre of black-jacketed servers set the tone for an evening of gracious dining. Each course stands as the very definition of time-honored favorites, most notably the beef dishes, all of which are 28-day dry-aged certified Black Angus USDA Prime, while succulent seafood dishes such as grilled swordfish and whole Maine lobster gratinee are also classics in their own right.
  • Toscana: Toscana presents an evolution of Tuscan cuisine in a truly Italian setting of rich Chianina leather, hand-blown Venetian glass, and Carrara marble. Evolved from generational family traditions, many of the recipes originated with the mothers and grandmothers of their Italian culinary staff. Presented on elegant, custom-designed Versace china, masterfully prepared dishes exemplify the essence of Tuscany and celebrate Italy's culinary passion. Perhaps the evening begins with the octopus carpaccio with Champagne vinaigrette or the artichoke and parmesan cheese timbale with black truffle sauce, followed by classic dishes such as the hand-rolled gnocchi with pesto, a rich risotto with lobster medallions and shallots, or a pan-seared sea bass filet finished with Sorrento lemon, chardonnay and capers.
  • Red Ginger: Red Ginger radiates harmony and tranquility while evoking the boldness and subtleties of the extraordinary Pan-Asian dishes talented chefs have created. Much like the room itself, the Thai, Korean, Japanese, and Malaysian-rooted specialties are a melange of spicy and soothing, savory and sweet to please virtually every palate. Begin with a Spicy Duck & Watermelon Salad with cashews, mint, and Thai basil. Savor Chicken Shio Ramen Noodles with tofu, shiitake mushroom, and bok choy, or opt for a Seven Spices Crusted Lamb Rack with fresh wasabi lamb jus. To complement the bold and multifaceted flavors of the Pan-Asian dishes here, the cocktail and beverage menu includes a premium sake selection, Asian beers, and Asian-inspired cocktails that call on spices such as lemongrass, ginger, and turmeric as well as exotic fruits such as lychees. In Red Ginger, the gustatory pleasures are as striking as the visual ones.
  • Terrace Cafe: Informal and carefree, the Terrace Cafe is wonderfully inviting any time of day. During breakfast, the room is infused with natural sunlight from the floor-to-ceiling windows, stimulating the appetite for the sumptuous selections. Come lunch, the expansive menu of international-inspired dishes changes entirely, complemented by a flavorful roast and the magic of the pizzeria's oven. Dine inside or alfresco at one of the shaded teak tables on the terrace. During the evenings, the cuisine takes on a more sophisticated flair, with lobster tails, chops, and fresh fish prepared to order, and freshly made hand-cut sushi and sashimi. In addition, a diverse selection of bold and flavorful plant-based dishes is available.
  • Aquamar Kitchen: Aquamar Kitchen presents a decidedly fresh perspective on dining and the pursuit of wellness. Whether you are a dedicated flexitarian or a die-hard foodie, Aquamar Kitchen offers an abundance of indulgence with none of the guilt. At breakfast, the smoothies, cold-pressed juices, and energy bowls shine, while at lunch the avocado toast selections and globally inspired salads and wraps are incredibly flavorful and satisfying. Heartier options include an Impossible burger, yellowfin tuna tacos, and a crunchy chicken sandwich among several others. To reflect the wellness-inspired dishes, the beverage menu will feature a selection of premium, award-winning non-alcoholic wines, Pierre Zero from France as well as a refreshing collection of mocktails crafted with Lyre's non-alcoholic spirits.
  • Waves Grill: Waves Grill is a casual, colorful, and perhaps a bit playful setting for dining on all-American favorites. Located in a spacious, shaded area steps from the swimming pool and Terrace Cafe, Waves Grill offers an extensive and mouthwatering menu during lunch and late into the afternoon for that much-desired snack or meal after an adventurous day of touring ashore. Watch the chefs grill gourmet burgers, succulent seafood, and sandwiches to order in the open galley, accompanying them with sides like fresh salads, coleslaw, and crispy, hand-cut fries. There is always room for dessert and the selection here is too good to pass up. Try a homemade sorbet, a made-to-order hot fudge sundae or a thick, hand-dipped milkshake.
  • Afternoon Tea: Teatime is a celebratory daily event at four o'clock. As a classical string quartet plays softly, staff presents bountiful four-tiered pastry carts filled with freshly made finger sandwiches, petits fours, scones, and sinful desserts. Of course, a selection of traditional and artisanal teas is the centerpiece of this splendid afternoon pastime.
  • Room Service: After a day of enriching shore excursions ashore or various activities on board, you may dine in the privacy of your suite or stateroom with compliments. An extensive Room Service menu is available around the clock. Enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner on your private veranda, as you take in spectacular seascapes.
