Renowned two Michelin-starred chef Michel Roux will partner with Cunard for another series of Le Gavroche at Sea residencies in 2025

The chef will oversee four Le Gavroche residencies over the course of four Norway-bound sailings next year on Queen Anne and Queen Mary 2, respectively.

The four residencies will take place between April and August 2025, with each ship hosting two of the exclusive dining experiences each.

Queen Mary 2 will host the first five-night takeover with Le Gavroche at The Verandah during a seven-night roundtrip Fjords sailing, departing on 6 April, where guests will experience a five-course seafood-focused tasting menu.

Roux will then host a residency aboard Queen Anne’s onboard restaurant Le Gavroche at Sir Samuels for its Fjords voyage on 11 May, where guests can expect signature seafood specialities and culinary classics.

On 15 August, Roux will return to Queen Mary 2 for another intimate takeover of The Verandah, before completing his quartet of Le Gavroche residencies on board Queen Anne from 31 August.

Le Gavroche at Sea reservations will be an additional charge for guests, with venue takeovers catering for up to 60 diners in The Verandah and up to 50 diners in Sir Samuels each evening.

Roux “thrilled” to be collaborating with Cunard once again

Katie McAlister, president of Cunard, said: “We’re thrilled to continue our successful Le Gavroche at Sea residencies. Our guests expect exceptional experiences, and having one of the world’s most celebrated chefs on board to create special menus and host exclusive events is truly special.”

In addition to the exclusive residencies, Roux will also be hosting a series of live cooking demonstrations in the ships’ Royal Court Theatre, as well as appearing as a guest speaker where he will share stories from his distinguished 40+ year career. Book signing opportunities will also be available.

Michel Roux added: “It is always a privilege to revive the essence of Le Gavroche and I am thrilled to be collaborating with Cunard for a second series of takeovers next year.

“This project is incredibly rewarding and allows me to craft signature menus that capture the spirit of adventure as well as the art of accessible fine dining. I am hugely excited to get back on board and showcase the beauty of Norwegian seafood to Cunard guests.”

Cunard recently reported a record-breaking booking period following the launch of Queen Anne in May, where an estimated 50,000 people attended the naming ceremony in Liverpool.
