Taste the world's flavours with Seabourn Cruises

A taste of local ingredients

Seabourn’s chefs are passionate about bringing the essence of each destination to your table. From sustainably sourced wild Alaskan salmon to boutique wines handpicked in Sicily, their menus are designed to reflect the unique flavours of the regions you explore.

Fresh seafood, every day

Seafood takes centre stage across all dining venues on Seabourn’s ships. The Restaurant features rotating ‘Chef’s Specials’, while The Patio hosts casual grill events showcasing the day’s freshest catch. For those who want to dive deeper, culinary shore excursions offer hands-on experiences like oyster shucking in New England or lobster tastings in Canada, making the connection between sea and plate even more personal.

New menus to try

The Restaurant is unveiling 24 new dishes that highlight local cuisines and fresh ingredients. Start your meal with marinated diver scallops or smoked trout carpaccio, move on to seared seabass with wild forest mushrooms, and finish with a decadent peanut butter mousse paired with salty caramel gelato.

Shopping with the Chef

For a truly immersive experience, join one of Seabourn’s ‘Shopping with the Chef’ tours. These small-group excursions, led by the ship’s Executive Chef, take you to busy local markets where you’ll pick out fresh ingredients like spices, cheeses, and seafood. Back on board, you might spot those very ingredients in the evening’s menu. New destinations for this experience include Ho Chi Minh City, Penang, and Quebec City, as well as late-night market tours in Bangkok and Kanazawa.

Dine with locals, connect with culture

Seabourn’s new ‘Dine with a Local’ experiences offer a unique opportunity to share a meal with a local family in their home. Whether you’re enjoying Italian delicacies at a Tuscan farmhouse or sampling rare wines at a family-run estate in Greece, these intimate meals provide a window into the traditions and culture of the region. It’s a chance to connect on a deeper level and create memories that go far beyond the table.
