Celebrity chefs continue to open eateries at sea. Latest to join the prestigious group is Emeril Lagasse, who will have Emeril's Bistro 1396 onboard Carnival's Mardi Gras, set to debut in fall 2020. The restaurant will feature authentic bayou flavors in dishes such as fried oysters duck & sausage gumbo, po-boys, muffaletta sandwiches and jambalaya -- and no doubt a few shouts of "BAM!"
Thomas Keller, arguably America's top chef (with restaurants such as The French Laundry), adds his touches to both fancy and casual menus on Seabourn ships. While dishes at his eponymous shipboard steakhouse and in the main dining room are to die for, you'll not want to miss the Keller casual barbecue night either.
Other well-known ship-going masters of their craft include Nobu Matsuhisa with his eateries for Crystal Cruises, and Guy Fieri with his Guy's Burger Joints and signature barbecues on Carnival ships. MSC Cruises boasts collaborations with chefs including Italy's Carlo Cracco, Spain's Ramon Freixa for HOLA! Tapas Bar and Japanese-American Chef Roy Yamaguchi, known for his Hawaiian-inspired cuisine.
When Ritz-Carlton debuts its first yacht, guests will be able to indulge in a European-inspired tasting menu at specialty restaurant S.E.A., with cuisine by Chef Sven Elverfeld of Aqua, a three Michelin-starred restaurant at The Ritz-Carlton in Wolfsburg, Germany.
