Luxury cruise line Cunard has confirmed that Le Gavroche at Sea with Michel Roux will return for a third season in 2026. The restaurateur and two Michelin-starred chef will host four dining experiences on Queen Anne in 2026—with three residencies taking place on seven-night Norwegian Fjords voyages in May, August and November, and another Le Gavroche at Sea scheduled for an Iceland and British Isles sailing in July.
Since launching in 2024, Michel Roux’s Le Gavroche at Sea residencies have proven hugely popular with guests—his 2025 season is already sold out. These collaborations reflect Cunard’s dedication to fine dining and immersive culinary experiences, with modern travelers increasingly seeking authentic connections to regional cuisine while at sea.
Each residency features a five-course tasting menu served in Sir Samuels, crafted with the finest ingredients and infused with the flavors of the sea. Guest numbers are limited to just 50 diners per evening, making these events some of the most exclusive and sought-after experiences onboard. Beyond the dining room, guests can enjoy an enhanced seafood offering at Carinthia Lounge, where Oysters at Carinthia will serve exquisite Norwegian seafood every evening during the Le Gavroche voyages.
Michel Roux will also take to the Royal Court Theatre for a live cooking demonstration, sharing insights into his culinary philosophy and techniques. In addition, he will appear as an Insight Speaker, offering guests a more personal opportunity to connect and participate in book signing sessions.
Katie McAlister, President of Cunard, said: “Le Gavroche at Sea has quickly become one of the highlights of our voyages, and we’re thrilled to welcome Michel back to Queen Anne for a third season. His passion for creating memorable dining experiences is a perfect match for Cunard’s commitment to excellence. Our guests often tell us how special these evenings are – and we expect 2026 to be even more unforgettable.”
Michel Roux added: “Bringing Le Gavroche to sea with Cunard has been an absolute joy. The warmth of the guests, the elegance of the ships, and the shared love of fine dining make it something truly unique. I’m delighted to return next year and to once again share the spirit of Le Gavroche in such a spectacular setting. Each residency is a chance to connect, to create, and to celebrate food in a way that’s both refined and relaxed.”
