Thomas Keller partners with Seabourn for ultimate on-sea dining

Dining is about to reach new heights in the cruise industry with Seabourn announcing its partnership with world-renowned American chef and restaurateur Thomas Keller.

The culinary genius behind a trio of Michelin-starred restaurants – The French Laundry, Per Se, and Bouchon – Keller will bring his award-winning French and American cuisine to the ultra-luxury cruise line in 2015, adding new flavours and flair to complement Seabourn’s already celebrated cuisine.

Chef Keller will develop an array of dishes, ranging from appetisers to desserts for multiple dining venues aboard Seabourn Odyssey, Seabourn Sojourn, and Seabourn Quest beginning later this year. The culinary creations will be prepared with high quality ingredients and to exact specifications, resulting in an unrivalled dining experience like no other at sea.

In addition, Seabourn will partner with Keller to introduce a new signature restaurant that will be revealed early in 2016 on Seabourn Quest before being expanded to the entire fleet, including the line’s two new ships designed by Adam D. Tihany – Seabourn Encore launching in late 2016 and Seabourn Ovation launching in early 2018. Keller will also advise on various aspects of the line’s culinary operations, sharing his expertise and vision.
