Seabourn Dining and Restaurants Guide
April 2026
All-inclusive restaurants and culinary excellence
Dining on a Seabourn cruise is not merely about sustenance; it is a central pillar of the onboard experience. Unlike many other luxury lines that charge premiums for specialty venues, Seabourn operates on a strictly all-inclusive basis. Whether you are enjoying a five-course tasting menu in the main restaurant or a casual bento box at lunch, there is never a supplemental charge. The culinary culture on board is defined by "a la minute" preparation. This means your dish is started only when your order is placed, ensuring a level of freshness and quality that rivals the finest land-based Michelin-starred establishments.Main dining venues across the fleet
Seabourn offers a variety of environments, ranging from grand, formal rooms to relaxed poolside grills.
The Restaurant
The Restaurant is the ship’s primary dining room, designed by Adam D. Tihany with a dramatic, high-ceilinged aesthetic. It operates on an open-seating basis, meaning you can dine whenever you choose between 7pm and 9pm and with whoever you wish. The menu is a blend of classic international cuisine and contemporary dishes, always accompanied by complimentary fine wines and champagne.
Solis: The new Mediterranean flagship
Replacing “The Grill by Thomas Keller” across the fleet throughout 2024 and 2025, Solis is Seabourn’s latest fine-dining concept. Developed by Master Chef Anton Egger, it focuses on coastal cuisine from the Mediterranean. Expect vibrant, healthy dishes such as Bistecca alla Fiorentina and fresh tomato tarts. While it is complimentary, the intimate nature of the venue means reservations are essential.
The Colonnade
For those seeking a more casual atmosphere, The Colonnade offers indoor and outdoor seating with a lavish buffet for breakfast and lunch. In the evening, it transforms into a themed bistro with table service. These themes often reflect the region the ship is currently visiting, such as a French Brasserie night in the Mediterranean or a fresh Clam Bake in New England.
Specialty and alternative dining
Seabourn provides several smaller, highly specialised venues for guests looking for variety.
Sushi: Available as a dedicated restaurant on Seabourn Encore and Seabourn Ovation, and as “Sushi at The Club” on the rest of the fleet. The fish is shipped directly from Japan, ensuring an authentic experience that is consistently rated as some of the best sushi at sea.
Earth & Ocean at The Patio: This is arguably the most romantic spot on the ship. Located poolside, it offers a sophisticated menu of global flavours served under the stars. The menu changes nightly, focusing on creative, inventive dishes that push beyond standard grill fare.
Seabourn Square: While primarily a social hub, the coffee bar here serves high-quality artisanal gelato, freshly baked pastries, and light bites throughout the day.
Dietary requirements and 24-hour service
Seabourn is exceptionally adept at handling complex dietary needs, from gluten-free and vegan requirements to specific allergies.
Personalised dietary care
We recommend notifying us of any dietary requirements at least six weeks before you sail. Once on board, the Maitre d’ will typically meet with you to review the daily menus and ensure your meals are prepared safely. The chefs are more than happy to customise dishes to suit your preferences, often preparing off-menu items with 24 hours’ notice.
24-hour in-suite dining
If you prefer a quiet evening on your veranda, the in-suite dining service is available 24 hours a day. During dinner hours, you can even order from the full menu of The Restaurant, and your suite steward will serve it to you course-by-course, complete with white linen and silver service.
