Oceania Cruises will team up with a selection of “Food & Wine” Best New Chefs alumni who will serve as godparents of its newest ship, Oceania Allura which is to be christened in Miami on November 13, 2025. The ship will be christened not by one godmother, but by a group of “Food & Wine” Best New Chefs alumni, marking the first time this prestigious title has been awarded to a group of chefs. The announcement was heralded by Oceania Cruises and “Food & Wine” executives at the Food & Wine Best New Chefs Gala in New York City.
“The soul of Oceania Cruises has always been deeply rooted in extraordinary cuisine,” said Jason Montague, chief luxury officer of Oceania Cruises. “By naming Food & Wine Best New Chefs alumni as the godparents of Oceania Allura, we’re paying homage to the future of food and the creative forces driving it forward. It’s a celebration of passion, talent and the global language of gastronomy.”
