Oceania Cruises' next ship to feature Tuscan steak house

Oceania Cruises is planning two new eateries for the ship it's taking over from Princess Cruises in April.

The 684-passenger Sirena will feature a new-for-the-line Italian restaurant called Tuscan Steak that will serve steaks and seafood with a Tuscan flair. The line says it'll be inspired by the the traditional steak house Polo Grill and Italian eatery Toscana that are found on other Oceania ships.

Also new on Sirena will be a version of the contemporary Asian-inspired restaurant Red Ginger that's found on Oceania's two newest ships, Marina and Riviera.

In addition, Oceania plans to transform the Sirena's Grand Dining Room into a Jacques Bistro for lunch. The French eatery created by famed chef and Oceania executive culinary director Jacques Pépin also is found on Marina and Riviera.

The additions are part of a massive, $40 million makeover of the 15-year-old ship that Oceania plans before putting it into service. The 35-day overhaul also will include a revamp of the ship's top decks, lounges and 342 cabins.

Sirena is a sister ship to three vessels already in the Oceania fleet -- Regatta, Insignia and Nautica -- and will offer a similar array of amenities including a fitness center and spa; six lounges and bars; and a casino.

Sirena is scheduled to enter service on April 27, 2016 with a 14-night cruise from Barcelona to Venice.
