Cunard has announced that Le Gavroche at Sea, the culinary collaboration with Michel Roux, will return for a third season aboard the Queen Anne in 2026.

The renowned two Michelin-starred chef will host four exclusive onboard dining events throughout the year. Three of these will coincide with seven-night Norwegian Fjords cruises in May, August, and November, while the fourth will take place during an Iceland and British Isles voyage in July.

Katie McAlister, president of Cunard, expressed her enthusiasm: “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.”

She added: “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 also shared his thoughts on the upcoming season: “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.”

Since debuting in 2024, the Le Gavroche at Sea concept has gained popularity among Cunard guests. Each residency includes an elegant five-course tasting menu, served in Sir Samuels, with guest numbers limited to just 50 diners per evening to ensure an intimate experience.

Roux will also participate in several special events during the sailings, including a live cooking demonstration at the Royal Court Theatre, where he will showcase his culinary techniques and philosophy. Additionally, guests will have the chance to attend insight talks and book signings, offering a more personal connection with the celebrated chef.
