More Chef’s Tables At-Sea

Among the notables, check out these showstoppers:

Scenic Eclipse – Top suites receive priority access to an invitation- only complimentary evening at Chef’s Table @ Elements. Keep the camera handy if you make the list; too many plates must be immortalized. The beyond-creative, up-to-14-course menu pays homage to Scenic Eclipse’s backstory, from inception to sailing. What to marvel over more, “cigar” burritos with vegetable “ash” served in glass ashtrays? Or the grand finale, a giant chocolate ball that the chef smashes onto the tabletop, the broken pieces revealing hidden candies that spill delectably around the table? Oceania Cruises’ Marina and Riviera – Traveling with a group? Book Privée, a private room seating 10 guests with quite the audacious décor. Count oversized white baby crocodile throne chairs, red carpets, and onyx walls among the accoutrements. Beforehand, meet with the executive chef to custom-design a seven-course menu with suggestions provided by the top toque. Princess Cruises – An enhanced version of the chef’s table, the widely applauded Chef’s Table Lumiere, beckons on Regal, Royal, Majestic, Sky, and the upcoming Enchanted Princess. Passengers sit at a custom-made glass table, surrounded by a curtain of light that creates an illuminated aura of privacy. Among the highlights is an exclusive galley tour with the chefs fast at work while you sip bubbly and nibble hors d’oeuvres. The executive chef creates and hosts this multi-course dinner.
