Seabourn plans to debut Solis, a fine dining venue offering light, modern Mediterranean cuisine, which will replace The Grill by Thomas Keller.

The line is ending its eight-year culinary partnership with Keller by spring 2024. 

Solis was developed in collaboration with long-time Seabourn partners, Master Chef and Culinary Partner Chef Anton Egger, and Senior Corporate Chef Franck Salein.

Debuting on Seabourn Quest

The new restaurant will launch on board Seabourn Quest in January, and will be rolled out across Seabourn Encore, Seabourn Ovation and Seabourn Sojourn by the spring.

Solis, whose dishes will be handcrafted and prepared fresh daily, is designed to transport diners to the Mediterranean through a number of surprise-and-delight culinary moments. Highlights include whimsical cocktails, vibrant plating and flavor combinations that are both familiar and elevated, all served within a redesigned dining space Seabourn described as reminiscent of the sun's afterglow.

Years of Michelin-level experience

Egger and Salein's years of Michelin-level experience, passion for travel and deep knowledge of Seabourn passengers have contributed to the brand's culinary success. Egger has opened restaurants in Singapore and Bangkok and has appeared worldwide in culinary events alongside Michelin-starred chefs. Salein's background includes roles as executive chef at several two- and three-star Michelin restaurants.

'Solis will showcase a vibrant, chic atmosphere with feel-good background music and a menu reminiscent of our favorite travel memories. With each dish, guests are transported to the sun-kissed shores of the Mediterranean,' Seabourn President Natalya Leahy said.

Featured dishes

The menus will include colorful dishes inspired from the Rivieras to the central Mediterranean to the Greek flavors in the eastern Mediterranean. Featured dishes include Piquillos De La Mama (Basque piquillo peppers with fresh Murcia goat milk cheese served on country bread crostini), branzino (whole sea bass baked in a sea salt and fresh thyme crust served with artichokes and tomatoes), Bistecca Alla Fiorentina (Tuscan-style grilled beef porterhouse steak) and Spiced Lamb Shank (with chargrilled smoked eggplant with tahini, pomegranate, roasted pine nuts and labneh).

Vegetarian and vegan options will also be incorporated throughout the menu.

Refined cocktail menu

In addition, Seabourn’s newly presented, refined vintage cocktail menu will feature classics such as the Kir Royale and Negroni along with the popular Aperol Spritz.
