Sky Princess and Enchanted Princess to get French speciality restaurant La Mer

Princess Cruises two newest ships, the 3,660-guest Sky Princess and Enchanted Princess will launch with the French speciality restaurant ‘La Mer’, which first debuted aboard Royal-class Majestic Princess in 2017.

La Mer was created by three Michelin-starred chef, Emmanuel Renaut, the owner and executive chef of the Flocons de Sel restaurant, located in the French Alps village of Megève.

The French bistro-style eatery will be located in the atrium aboard the new ships and will offer dishes such as beef filet mignon, sweet onions sauté, red wine jus, with hand cut chips and red snapper & scallop mousseline, lobster morsels and lemon grass lobster sauce.

Deserts are extravagant creations such as the Mont Blanc ‘Marron-Myrtilles’ with sweet chestnut, blueberry gel and vanilla cream bavarois (a dessert containing gelatin and whipped cream).

“I’m delighted to introduce La Mer to more Princess Cruises guests. My dishes are designed to satisfy every palate by bringing retro French classics and blending favourite ingredients with fresh and unique touches to make each dish memorable,” said Chef Renaut.

A cover charge of US $35 per person will apply.

Sky Princess will launch in October this year and will sail a short season in the Mediterranean before heading to the Caribbean.

Enchanted Princess will launch in Southampton in June 2020 and will similarly sail an inaugural season in the Mediterranean, with further itineraries to be confirmed.
