Oceania Cruises Unveils 12 Exquisite Nikkei Dishes at Pan-Asian Red Ginger Restaurant

Oceania Cruises has recently introduced twelve innovative Nikkei dishes at its premier Pan-Asian restaurant, Red Ginger. This cuisine is a unique blend of Peruvian flavors and Japanese culinary techniques, a tradition that dates back to late 19th-century Peru when Japanese immigrants adapted local ingredients to their cooking styles.

One of the first ships to feature these new dishes is the Oceania Vista, and the menu will roll out across the entire Oceania fleet by early 2026. The culinary direction of this initiative is led by Chef Gustavo Sugay, who brings over two decades of experience in this dynamic cuisine.

Highlight dishes from the menu include the Ceviche Nikkei, which presents tuna exquisitely dressed with leche de tigre, cilantro, sesame oil, and red chili. Another notable entry is the Peruvian-Style Beef Short Rib, accompanied by lomo saltado sauce and miso sweet-potato mousseline—a delightful fusion of flavors.

Additional offerings feature a rice casserole topped with miso-glazed scallops, soft-shell crab bao buns seasoned with Nikkei zarza, and a dessert of yuzu cheesecake garnished with mango, passion fruit, and fresh basil.

Oceania’s Chief Luxury Officer emphasized that the introduction of these Nikkei dishes marks a significant advancement towards fulfilling the brand’s commitment to providing ‘The Finest Cuisine at Sea.’ The Executive Culinary Director noted that this menu is a testament to the creative fusion that occurs when different culinary heritages blend, designed to cater to the discerning palates of guests.

This initiative further cements Oceania’s status as a preferred choice for food-loving travelers. The cruise line boasts exemplary features such as a dual Master Chefs of France program, a policy for artisan-quality ingredients, a one-chef-for-every-ten-guest ratio, and complimentary open-seating gourmet dining throughout its venues.

By incorporating Nikkei cuisine into Red Ginger, Oceania Cruises continues its journey of culinary exploration, offering guests a refined dining experience that connects diverse cultural traditions on the open seas.
