Oceania Allura, described as a floating kitchen with guest rooms. Photo by Tab Hauser If you are a cruiser and a foodie, or just enjoy good food, take your appetite aboard Oceania Allura from Oceania Cruises. To show how serious Oceania and Allura are about cuisine, the ship was christened by Food & Wine’s Best New Chefs program, the first time a culinary brand christened a ship. I spent 12 relaxing days eating my way through this ship. Allura took its maiden voyage on July 18, 2025.
