New dining experience Solis opens aboard Seabourn Quest ahead of fleetwide rollout

Seabourn has celebrated the launch of its new dining experience Solis aboard Seabourn Quest, with plans to roll out the concept across Seabourn Encore, Seabourn Ovation and Seabourn Sojourn by Spring 2024.

Solis launched aboard Seaborun Quest on Saturday, offering guests a new fine dining venue that celebrates Mediterranean cuisine inspired by the places visited by the line’s ultra-luxury ships.

The new restaurant features light, modern dishes prepared daily, developed in collaboration with long-time Seabourn partners, Master Chef and Culinary Partner Chef Anton Egger, and Senior Corporate Chef Franck Salein.

“There’s no better way to start a new year than by unveiling a new fine dining experience, and the debut of Solis is a milestone that guests of Seabourn Quest are going to enjoy and remember,” said Natalya Leahy, President of Seabourn. 

“Every dish and drink at Solis have been carefully created to reflect the inspirations from the places we visit, while the design and ambiance of the dining room set the perfect Mediterranean atmosphere combined with Seabourn style for guests to enjoy during their dining experience,” she added.

The menus will include dishes inspired by different regions, from the Rivieras to the Greek flavours in the Eastern Mediterranean, with an assortment of vegetarian and vegan options.

Featured dishes include Piquillos De La Mama – Basque piquillo peppers with fresh Murcia goat milk cheese served on country bread crostini; Branzino – Whole Sea Bass baked in a sea salt and fresh thyme crust served with artichokes and tomatoes; Bistecca Alla Fiorentina – Tuscan-style grilled beef porterhouse steak; and Spiced Lamb Shank – Chargrilled smoked eggplant with tahini, pomegranate, roasted pine nuts, and labneh.

“Over the years, Franck and I have been keen to discover what Seabourn guests enjoy about onboard dining,” said Egger. “What we’ve found all comes together at Solis, where we’re telling a story of culinary richness and presenting pure enjoyment on the plate and in the glass.”

Beyond the culinary, guests will also be able to indulge in a sophisticated experience with Seabourn’s newly presented, refined vintage cocktail menu, featuring an allure of classic cocktails expertly crafted to perfection. 

From classics such as the Kir Royale or Negroni to the always-popular Aperol Spritz, the team of talented mixologists have meticulously curated this menu to ensure that every drink is a masterpiece of flavours and aesthetics.
