Oceania Cruises has published The Oceania Cruises Art Collection, a comprehensive catalogue of the art and artists featured in its world-class collection onboard Marinaand Riviera. More than 2,000 works adorn the line’s award-winning mid-size ships.

Chefs for Humanity, a nonprofit founded by Celebrity Chef Cat Cora, today announced a $50,000 donation from Oceania Cruises, a upper-premium cruise line with four ships sailing to more than 330 destinations worldwide. Chefs for Humanity was founded by Cat Cora to galvanize culinary enthusiasts worldwide around a shared goal of reducing hunger and improving nutrition.

Cat Cora, the restaurateur, humanitarian, author, and co-host of Bravo’s new ‘Around the World in 80 Plates,’ named the ship, joined by Deacon Ricardo Rodriguez-Martos of the Barcelona’s Apostleship of the Sea, who bestowed the traditional blessings.

When she sets sail on her maiden voyage in May 2012, Riviera, Oceania Cruises’ newest entry in the upper-premium category, will further confirm the line’s status among art lovers and epicureans. Riviera will showcase a museum-worthy collection of fine art focusing on the works of some of Latin America’s most accomplished and admired contemporary artists. More than 1000 works will adorn the mid-size ship.

One of America’s most generous, personable and ground-breaking chefs will step into the honored role as godmother to Oceania Cruises ’ newest ship, Riviera. Chef Cat Cora will name the ship in Barcelona at a lavish, invitation-only christening ceremony on May 11, which will culminate with a 15-liter Nebuchadnezzar of champagne, custom-made by Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin, commemoratively breaking against the hull of the 1,250-guest ship.

Oceania Cruises has teamed with Royal Theatrical Productions to feature “Now and Forever — The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber” on board its new 1,250-guest Riviera, which debuts in May 2012.
