Oceania Cruises, the
world's leading culinary- and destination-focused cruise line, is proud to
announce that Chef Alexis Quaretti, Senior Culinary Director, has been
inducted into the prestigious echelons of the Maîtres Cuisiniers de France.
Quaretti joins Oceania Cruises' Vice President of Culinary Eric Barale,
who served as Quaretti's godfather into the program. As such, Oceania Cruises
is the only major cruise line to boast two Master Chefs of France.
The association of
Master Chefs of France was established in 1951. Its goal is to
support and promote French culinary arts around the world. This mission is
embodied by the chef members, as they are ambassadors of French cuisine and
culture and are responsible for relaying this heritage to their apprentices.
"It's truly
remarkable to have two Master Chefs of France leading our culinary
team," said Frank A. Del Rio, President of Oceania Cruises.
"Chef Eric and Chef Alexis are both long-standing members of the culinary
team, Eric being one of the first members of Oceania Cruises' culinary family
and Alexis joining us shortly after in 2004. The palpable kinship and passion
throughout the culinary team prove that Oceania Cruises not only serves The
Finest Cuisine at Sea® but also has the finest culinary team at sea."
"Being inducted
into the Master Chefs of France is truly one of the biggest honors of
my career, and I sincerely look forward to being part of this prestigious
organization," said Alexis Quaretti, Senior Culinary Director at Oceania
Cruises. "I have always been proud to represent French culinary ideals and
am lucky to be able to bring the best of the best to Oceania Cruises. I would
like to thank my friend and colleague Chef Eric Barale for being my
godfather throughout the process and providing me with constant guidance and
advice throughout my career."
Driven by the desire
to make Oceania Cruises a destination for pleasure-seekers in search of
one-of-a-kind experiences, Quaretti has created a menu of universal world
flavors with his own French expertise and unique fondness for diverse products.
His ever-changing menus celebrate the freshest ingredients and are inspired by
his home country of France as well as his world travels. As the
line's recipe development manager, Quaretti has designed, made and tested every
dish served on an Oceania Cruises' ship. He and his talented team create
approximately 300 new recipes each year to constantly revitalize and
reinvigorate the onboard menus.
