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

Cunard has announced the return of the famed culinary residency "Le Gavroche at Sea," helmed by the renowned two-Michelin-star chef Michel Roux, for a third season in 2026. This program will feature four unique evenings on the Queen Anne, including three 7-night voyages to the Norwegian Fjords in May, August, and November, along with a special voyage that takes in Iceland and the British Isles in July.

Since its inception in 2024, Le Gavroche at Sea has received overwhelming popularity, with the entire 2025 season already sold out. This collaboration underscores Cunard’s dedication to exceptional dining experiences that resonate with travelers looking for authentic and locally-inspired cuisine.

Guests attending Le Gavroche at Sea will enjoy a luxurious 5-course tasting menu in Sir Samuels restaurant, focusing on premium ingredients sourced from the sea. The experience is designed to be intimate, with only fifty guests per seating. Additionally, Chef Roux will lead live cooking demonstrations and engage guests with insightful talks at the Royal Court Theatre, complemented by book signings to enhance the overall experience.

During these voyages, the Carinthia Lounge on Queen Anne will also host "Oysters at Carinthia," a nightly seafood offering rooted in Norwegian traditions, available exclusively during the Le Gavroche trips.

Cunard’s President, Katie McAlister, remarked that the residency has quickly become a standout feature of voyages aboard Queen Anne. She emphasized the synergy between Roux’s culinary artistry and Cunard’s commitment to outstanding guest experiences and predicted that the 2026 series will garner even greater interest.

Chef Michel Roux expressed his enthusiasm for returning to Queen Anne, highlighting the partnership as a rare opportunity to showcase the essence of Le Gavroche at sea. He described the program as a tribute to elegance and a shared passion for fine dining, excited to reconnect with guests through creativity and culinary excellence.

By reaffirming this culinary partnership, Cunard is set to elevate maritime dining further, providing travelers with a unique blend of Michelin-quality cuisine, thoughtfully curated events, and regional flavors, all within the elegant environment of a themed culinary shipping experience.
