Seabourn and Carnival revamp room service and dining room menus 

Seabourn and Carnival Cruise Line have announced new dining menus debuting this week on select ships, with plans for further roll out across the fleet.

Seabourn will offer a new 24-hour in-suite dining menu with an array of gourmet dishes prepared by the cruise line’s chefs, while Carnival Cruise Line has revamped its main dining room menus.

Seabourn says its new room service menu will reflect the world travel experiences and inspiration of its executive chefs, while Carnival will be offering dishes from its specialty restaurants in the main dining room.

The new in-suite dining menu will debut aboard Seabourn Venture on its June 18th, 2023 voyage, and will extend to the rest of the fleet by October 2023.

The new in-suite dining menus were developed in partnership with Master Chef and Culinary Consultant Chef Anton Egger, and Senior Corporate Chef Franck Salein.

“At Seabourn…our culinary offerings have long been celebrated for their superb quality, and we take great pride in offering world-class gourmet dining on our ships,” said Natalya Leahy, President of Seabourn.

“The new in-suite dining menus will further elevate our onboard culinary experience, allowing our guests to savor the exceptional taste and sophistication of our cuisine right in the comfort of their own suites,” she added.

“We work with the best professionals in the world, such as Chef Tony and Chef Franck, to deliver unforgettable culinary moments. Not only do they bring Michelin level skills, but they also have a passion for travel that comes through in our dishes and menus,” said Leahy. “I am very excited to support them as they continue to unleash their creativity through this new menu and other exciting culinary projects.”

Thyme Roasted Jidori Chicken Breast

The new menu includes lighter and fresher vegetarian and vegan dishes, such as Rustic Garden Vegetable Minestrone a la Genovese, Franck’s Riviera Style Vegetable Tartine, and “Fregola con Melanzane” Sardinian Tomato Fregola Pasta & Oven Roasted Purple Eggplant Confit.

There will also be classic and traditional dishes with a twist, including Crispy Skin Fresh Alaskan Salmon Fillet, Thyme Roasted Jidori Chicken Breast, and Oven Roasted Free Range Chicken Sausage Casserole.

There will also be delicious dessert options to satisfy the sweet tooth, such as Tony’s Childhood Banana Split and Black Forest Sundae.

Carnival Cruise Line new dining room menus

Carnival Cruise Line will be enhancing its main dining rooms offerings over the next several months to bring more variety, with nearly 60 new entree presentations on rotation, fleetwide.

The enhancements will debut on Carnival Dream beginning June 17th, with a fleetwide rollout by October.

In consultation with Chief Culinary Officer Emeril Lagasse, the culinary team has been evaluating every aspect of the fleet’s main dining room offerings and planning new options.

New main dining room menus will also include offerings from Carnival’s popular specialty dining restaurants, so more guests can experience the wide variety of great food offered across the fleet.
