Cunard Reunites with Michelin-Starred Chef Michel Roux
Cunard has announced that renowned chef Michel Roux will return to the Norwegian fjords in 2025 for another series of exclusive culinary experiences aboard its ships, Queen Anne and Queen Mary 2. Roux will oversee four Le Gavroche at Sea residencies, offering guests the opportunity to savor his Michelin-starred cuisine while cruising through stunning Norwegian scenery. Reservations for these exclusive dining experiences will be available at an additional charge.
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.”
