Insights
The expansion of Jacques restaurant to Oceania Cruises' new ships Allura and Vista represents a strategic move for Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCLH) in the luxury cruise segment. While restaurant additions typically don't move stock prices, this development has broader implications for NCLH's premium positioning and revenue strategy.
The Your World Included™ program, which bundles premium dining, WiFi and other amenities at no additional charge, indicates a shift toward an all-inclusive luxury model. This approach typically commands higher base fares and attracts affluent travelers who spend more on-board. Historical data shows luxury cruise lines maintain higher profit margins than mass-market operators.
With four 1,200+ guest ships featuring signature restaurants, Oceania is positioning itself to capture a larger share of the high-end cruise market, which has shown remarkable resilience and faster recovery post-pandemic compared to budget segments.
The culinary strategy behind this expansion reveals sophisticated brand positioning. Partnering with Jacques Pépin, a legendary figure in French cuisine and having two Master Chefs of France (Quaretti and Barale) signals a commitment to authentic, high-end dining experiences that differentiate Oceania from competitors.
The addition of experiential elements like tableside service for dishes such as beef tartare and the emphasis on "l'art de la table" aligns with current luxury dining trends where experience and presentation are as valued as the food itself. These elements typically drive higher customer satisfaction scores and repeat bookings in the cruise industry.
The balance between maintaining signature dishes while introducing new menu items shows a calculated approach to innovation that preserves brand equity while refreshing the offering. This strategy typically results in stronger customer retention while attracting new premium customers.
Jacques to be added to sister ship, Vista™, in late 2025
Named after renowned chef Jacques Pépin, the founding father of Oceania Cruises' culinary philosophy and the line's first-ever Executive Culinary Director, this sophisticated restaurant is already a crowd favorite with Oceania Cruises guests sailing on Marina™ and Riviera™.
In addition, Jacques will make its debut aboard Vista™, Allura's sister ship, in October 2025, joining the Polo Grill steakhouse, Italian restaurant Toscana, and pan-Asian Red Ginger on all four of the line's 1,200+ guest ships.
Frank A. Del Rio, President of Oceania Cruises, said: "Jacques is our culinary patriarch, having been a member of the culinary team since day one. His creativity and expertise form the very heart of our philosophy, The Finest Cuisine at Sea, which drives everything we do. Bringing this fabulous restaurant to Allura as she launches this summer, and to Vista later in the year, means the world to me, and the entire Oceania Cruises family."
Oceania Cruises' two Executive Culinary Directors and Master Chefs of
Chef Pépin commented: "I am so excited to be writing the next chapter of Jacques with my friends and colleagues, Chefs Alexis Quaretti and Eric Barale. This is the perfect opportunity to experiment with some delicious new dishes and to explore unique ways to serve some of the classics that our guests have come to know and love. We have lots of exciting plans for this latest iteration of Jacques. I cannot wait to share them."
Chef Quaretti added: "It is wonderful to bring Jacques to our two newest ships, and I am thrilled to be working alongside the man himself to create this latest version of our signature French restaurant. When considering this new generation of Jacques, it was very important for me to introduce recipes from personal childhood memories and to share my vision of French family food as well as honoring the classic French bistro experience."
Oceania Cruises' most-loved dishes from Jacques on board Marina and Riviera will remain on the menu, alongside a selection of new options. These include duck with a Grand Marnier-infused orange sauce, and a veal medallion with a morel sauce, in addition to new vegetarian dishes. For those with a sweet tooth, classic French desserts Crêpes Suzette and profiteroles will join other indulgent choices on the dessert trolley.
Guests can look forward to more experiential dining in Jacques through the introduction of tableside service for a range of new dishes, including beef tartare. This, plus new, carefully chosen crockery, glassware, and silverware to reinforce the importance of "l'art de la table," augments the authentic Parisian bistro experience.
Del Rio commented: "Our beautiful new ship, Allura, represents Oceania Cruises' dazzling future but also honors our history. The addition of Jacques to her and her sister, Vista, is a wonderful tangible example of this - celebrating our heritage, our heartfelt passion for food, while always looking ahead to what's on the horizon."
