The new program focuses on authentic Pacific Northwest and Alaskan cuisine, featuring high-quality ingredients such as wild-caught salmon, halibut, and succulent king crab. To create these dishes, the ship’s culinary team collaborates directly with local Alaskan fishermen and suppliers, ensuring that the bounty of the sea and land is showcased at its peak. Beyond the main dining venues like The Restaurant and The Colonnade, guests can enjoy unique, atmospheric experiences such as the Midnight Sun Dinner, the communal Fisherman’s Table, and the festive Alaskan Seafood Boil.

The immersion continues with a refreshed beverage menu, offering specialty cocktails crafted with pristine Alaska glacial ice and curated local spirits or regional beers. Even the dining ambiance is elevated through thoughtful partnerships, such as the Midnight Sun Dinner’s menu artwork designed by Alaska Native artist Crystal Worl. These dining moments are further enhanced by “Alaska, Al Fresco” experiences, where guests can enjoy outdoor culinary treats like warm chowder or caviar events while taking in the stunning backdrop of glaciers and fjords. By combining fine dining with deep local roots, Seabourn offers a sophisticated way to experience the wild beauty of Alaska.
