Oceania Cruises, the world's leading culinary- and
destination-focused cruise line, is embarking on a new journey, announcing
celebrated Italian-American chef, author, restaurateur and Emmy award-winning
food personality Giada De Laurentiis as its Brand and Culinary
Ambassador.
De Laurentiis will also co-chair the line's new
Culinary Advisory Board alongside renowned chef Jacques Pépin, a founding
member of Oceania Cruises' culinary team and the line's original Executive
Culinary Director.
The Culinary Advisory Board will focus on guiding,
developing and reinforcing Oceania Cruises' commitment to serving The Finest
Cuisine at Sea®. This role will include inviting acclaimed chefs and artisans
from around the world to join the initiative as Oceania Cruises develops the
next chapter in its culinary legacy.
"Having set sail with Oceania Cruises as
Godmother of Vista, I immediately connected with the line's extraordinary
commitment to food and the entire dining experience," said Giada De
Laurentiis. "The people were so warm and welcoming; the entire onboard
experience was incredibly inviting, and everyone truly starts to feel like
family. Oceania Cruises' mission aligns perfectly with my own. Travel and food
are the ultimate ways of bringing people together – to savor unique flavors,
experience different destinations and create shared memories. I couldn't be
more excited to expand my relationship with Oceania Cruises."
Co-Chairs De Laurentiis and Pépin will work closely
with Oceania Cruises' two Executive Culinary Directors and Master Chefs
of France, Chef Alexis Quaretti and Chef Eric Barale, who
will play key roles in developing the scope of the Culinary Advisory Board.
"Food has forever been a universal language,
transcending boundaries and bringing people, literally, to the table,"
said Frank A. Del Rio, President of Oceania Cruises. "With a legacy
deeply rooted in family and a passion for gastronomy, it seems only fitting
that Oceania Cruises furthers its relationship with Giada. I am thrilled that
she and our culinary patriarch, Jacques, will helm our Culinary Advisory Board
to further evolve and innovate, redefining the boundaries of the onboard dining
experience."
