If you're a foodie, perhaps your idea of experiential cruising is incredible dining experience... in which case, you'll love Seabourn's partnership with renowned chef Thomas Keller. His vision comes to life brilliantly at The Grill, a chophouse featuring Keller's farm-to-table approach to cuisine. It's tough to get into the chef's restaurants on land, which include three-Michelin-star French Laundry and Per Se, but every passenger sailing on Seabourn's ships can dine at The Grill by Thomas Keller.
