How Oceania Cruises is Raising the Bar at Bartending

It’s not enough to just have a well-stocked bar — mixology demands forging ahead, breaking ground on fresh ideas while still paying homage to the tried-and-true staples. Experiential offerings cover both the former and the latter: It’s not every day that you can construct your own perfect brunch accompaniment at the Ultimate Bloody Mary Bar. Or savor a cocktail topped with a vapor-filled bubble at the Casino Mixology Bar. Or sample signature martinis comprised of a what’s-what of top-shelf spirits and named after a who’s-who of cool Hollywood icons. No matter what you choose to sip (or where), the result is the same: It’s one of the best drinks of your lifetime.

No matter what you order, you're sure to discover why they call it the Finest Cuisine at Sea®

Fine Dining to Match

As anyone who’s savored libations could tell you: It’s a good idea to not drink on an empty stomach. The next (lesser-known) nugget of wisdom is: The quality of food and drink should match. The Vista’s offerings do not disappoint, as after all, this is the Finest Cuisine at Sea®. Maybe you’re hoping to start your day with a mocktail and avocado toast seated in the Aquamar Kitchen. Or maybe you’d like to sip fine rye or bourbon with braised short ribs in the ever-fashionable Ember. No matter what your palate is craving, Vista has a venue to deliver your dream meal, as well as the drink to match.
