New Fine Dining Eatery Solis Coming to Seabourn Ships

Luxury cruise operator Seabourn has announced a new fine dining concept coming to four of its vessels. The new eatery, named Solis, will serve Mediterranean cuisine inspired by the destinations visited by the cruise line. 

The new restaurant will launch on Seabourn Quest come January 2024, and will be rolled out across Seabourn Encore, Seabourn Ovation, and Seabourn Sojourn by the Spring. With the addition of Solis, Seabourn will mark the end of its culinary partnership with Chef Thomas Keller. 

Solis will be meticulously designed to bring the elegance and sophistication that guests are accustomed to with Seabourn. Each meal will be a true occasion, with a menu that will evoke all the senses. Highlights are to include whimsical cocktails, vibrant plating, and dishes with familiar and elevated flavor combinations. The restaurant space will be a new design that is according to the line, ‘reminiscent of the afterglow of the sun’. 

The new eatery is being developed in collaboration with longtime Seabourn partners, Master Chef and Culinary Partner Chef Anton Egger, and Senior Corporate Chef Franck Salein. The three’s year’s of Michelin-level dining experience, combined with a passion for travel and knowledge of Seabourn’s guests, will ensure Solis is a world-class dining experience that can rival the finest restaurants anywhere on land. 

“Culinary is an integral part of our ultra-luxury experiences, and we are committed to continuously innovating to delight our guests with unparalleled dining options. The addition of Solis is truly inspired by the voice of our guests and our team has worked hard over the past several months to bring this to life," said Natalya Leahy, President of Seabourn. “Solis will showcase a vibrant, chic atmosphere with feel-good background music and a menu reminiscent of our favorite travel memories. With each dish, guests are transported to the sun-kissed shores of the Mediterranean. An evening at Solis will surely delight our guests and leave them with lasting Seabourn Moments and memories.”
