VALENCIA, Calif., Aug. 13,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cunard has announced that
two Michelin-starred chef Michel
Roux will return to Norway
in 2025 for another exclusive series of Le Gavroche at Sea
residencies.
Chef Roux said: "I am so excited to get
back on board and showcase the beauty of Norwegian seafood to
Cunard guests."
The esteemed chef will oversee four Le Gavroche residencies
across four exciting Fjords voyages next year – two apiece aboard
new ship Queen Anne and flagship
Queen Mary 2 between April and
August.
Queen Mary 2 will host the first
five-night takeover with Le Gavroche at The Verandah aboard the
world's only ocean liner for her seven-night roundtrip Fjords
sailing on April 6. Guests will be
treated to a five-course tasting menu infused with all the flavours
of the sea, elegantly finessed using the very best produce –
designed by one of the world's most decorated chefs.
Roux will then host a residency aboard Queen Anne – Le Gavroche at Sir Samuels – for
her Fjords voyage on May 11, where
guests can also expect a beautiful variety of Roux's signature
seafood specialties and elevated culinary classics.
On August 15, Roux will return to
Queen Mary 2 for another intimate
takeover of The Verandah, before completing his quartet of Le
Gavroche residencies on board Queen
Anne from August 31.
Le Gavroche at Sea reservations will be an additional charge for
guests, with venue takeovers catering for up to 60 diners in The
Verandah and up to 50 diners in Sir Samuels each evening.
Elevated experience
As well as hosting these exclusive residencies, Roux will be
launching another elevated seafood concept.
Oysters at The Champagne Bar (Queen
Mary 2) and Oysters at Carinthia Lounge (Queen Anne) will be serving exquisite Norwegian
seafood every night of their respective voyages, available by
walk-in only.
During each voyage, Roux will also host a live cooking
demonstration in the Royal Court Theatre, as well as appear as
an Insight Speaker – regaling guests with stories from his
distinguished 40-plus-year career in the hospitality industry. Book
signing opportunities will also be scheduled.
Katie McAlister, President of
Cunard, said: "We're thrilled to continue our successful Le
Gavroche at Sea residencies. Our guests expect exceptional
experiences, and having one of the world's most celebrated chefs on
board to create special menus and host exclusive events is truly
special."
Michel Roux added: "It is always
a privilege to revive the essence of Le Gavroche and I am thrilled
to be collaborating with Cunard for a second series of takeovers
next year. This project is incredibly rewarding and allows me to
craft signature menus that capture the spirit of adventure as well
as the art of accessible fine dining. I am hugely excited to get
back on board and showcase the beauty of Norwegian seafood to
Cunard guests."
