Champagne and culinary masterpieces—here’s the luxe life at its finest. By Gayatri Moodliar
Pairing your alcohol with your food is a tale as old as time—it’s also a task that requires being able to recognise how flavours merge and take each other to a higher level. If the pairing is done well, the dining experience is heightened, and that’s what Oceania Cruises is planning to do with its Dom Perignon Experience at La Reserve. Each of the six courses will be paired with a different vintage of Dom Perignon’s line, and the whole experience is available to a maximum of 24 guests at a time.
“We created this dinner to be sophisticated, memorable, a little bit decadent, but also a lot of fun. After all, champagne is all about celebration,” stated Bob Binder, President and Chief Executive Officer of Oceania Cruises.
Oceania Cruises offers some of the most luxurious experiences you can imagine when you think about setting sail. The luxe ride caters to about 450 ports all across the world, and even offers a 180-day Around-The-World Voyage.
Currently, the Dom Perignon Experience is available for all Riviera voyages and will be introduced aboard Marina beginning January 31, 2019. Of course, reservations are required, and the cost is $295 per guest.
Here’s a look at the menu to get you thinking about your next cruise.
