Dining Aboard Regatta

Regatta has four restaurants, ranging from poolside casual Waves Grill to the Grand Dining Room. All have open seating. There are also addtional meal spots, such as the deck cafe. Wines have been selected by the staff of Wine Spectator, matched to the menus of the restaurants on board. However, Oceania understands that many of their guests have an interest in wine, and like to try local varieties. To this end Oceania generously allows you to purchase wine in a port of call and bring it onboard, limited to three bottles per stateroom. As you are in a port each day, this should be ample. You are welcome to enjoy their wine in the comfort and privacy of your stateroom, or, if you prefer, enjoy your wine in one of the dining rooms. Any wine consumed in the dining room or a public area will be subject to a corkage fee of $20 per bottle.

Come straight from lounging about in the sun, or for a quick meal between tours, and dine from an outstanding menu of gourmet burgers, tangy barbecue and succulent seafood. It's an open galley, so you can watch the chefs grill each delectable item to order, while you select side dishes such as healthy, garden-fresh salads and crispy, hand-cut fries. For a grand finale, savor a cup of creamy gelato, a bowl of homemade ice cream, or a hand-dipped, made-to-order milkshake. Sample menu (pdf 2MB)

A triumph of elegance, the restaurant possesses a gracious, traditional atmosphere, courtesy of its crisp, white linen tablecloths, dark-wood furnishings and supple, high-back leather chairs.

It is that classic, especially on evenings when the moonlight can be seen dappling the sea through the restaurant's expansive windows. Each course is a consummate expression of perfection, a time-honored favorite. Sample menu (pdf 2MB)
