Le Gavroche Sets Sail Aboard Cunard’s Queen Anne in 2026: A Culinary Journey Awaits!

Cunard has announced the return of its popular culinary residency, Le Gavroche at Sea, aboard the Queen Anne in 2026. This well-regarded program features the renowned two-Michelin-star chef Michel Roux and will include four exclusive evenings, incorporating three 7-night voyages through the dazzling Norwegian Fjords in May, August, and November, along with an additional voyage covering Iceland and the British Isles in July.

Since its inception in 2024, Le Gavroche at Sea has garnered significant interest, with the 2025 season already fully booked. Cunard’s initiative emphasizes elevated dining experiences and aligns with the increasing traveler demand for authentic, destination-inspired cuisine.

During each evening at Le Gavroche at Sea, guests will enjoy a 5-course tasting menu in Sir Samuels restaurant, featuring premium, sea-themed ingredients. To maintain intimacy, seating is limited to fifty guests per evening. In addition to the dining experience, Chef Roux will conduct live cooking demonstrations, offer insightful talks in the Royal Court Theatre, and hold book signings, enriching the experience for attendees.

Additionally, the Carinthia Lounge on Queen Anne will host "Oysters at Carinthia," a nightly seafood offering inspired by Norwegian traditions, during the Le Gavroche voyages.

Katie McAlister, Cunard’s President, emphasized that this residency has become a standout feature of the Queen Anne’s voyages. She noted that the partnership between Roux’s dedication to culinary excellence and Cunard’s goal of providing exceptional guest experiences promises to attract even more interest in 2026.
