British luxury cruise line Cunard has announced the return of Chef Michel Roux to the Queen Anne with five exclusive Culinary Residences scheduled for 2027 and 2028.

Though Roux’s Le Gavroche has officially closed in the U.K., guests have the rare opportunity to experience the legendary restaurant’s cuisine at sea and spend time with the renowned chef during five exclusive sailings. The Michel Roux Culinary Residencies will take place on seven-night Norway and Norwegian Fjords voyages in May, August and September 2027, with further sailings confirmed on a Norway and Denmark voyage in May 2028 and a Norwegian Fjords voyage in June 2028.

"Working with Cunard on Le Gavroche at Sea has been a wonderful experience, and I'm delighted to continue the partnership, said Michel Roux. “Today, Queen Anne is the only place in the world where guests can experience the spirit of Le Gavroche in this way, bringing together exceptional food, great company and unforgettable travel. Sharing that experience at sea, while sailing through some of the world's most spectacular destinations, makes it truly special. I look forward to welcoming guests on board for another memorable season."

Queen Anne guests can savor intimate dining and a specially curated tasting menu limited to just 50 guests each evening along with a chance to meet twins Ursula and Silvia Perberschlager, known as 'The Sisters', whose warmth and hospitality made them much-loved figures at Le Gavroche for more than 20 years. Residency voyages passengers can also enjoy an exclusive three-course Gala menu in all main dining rooms and Oysters at Carinthia, an enhanced seafood offering available each evening in the elegant surroundings of the Carinthia Lounge.

In addition, a program of exclusive events hosted by Michel Roux will include live cooking demonstrations, Cunard Insights talks, Q&A sessions and booking signings.

"The response to Le Gavroche at Sea has been extraordinary since its launch, and we're delighted to continue our partnership with Michel in 2027 and 2028, said Paul Ludlow, President of Cunard in statement. “Michel's passion for exceptional cuisine and craftsmanship aligns perfectly with Cunard's commitment to creating unforgettable experiences at sea. These residencies bring together outstanding dining, inspiring enrichment and some of Northern Europe's most spectacular scenery, creating voyages that are truly unique to Queen Anne. We know our guests look forward to these sailings each year, and we're delighted to offer another season of memorable culinary experiences."
