Regent
Seven Seas Cruises said it will debut a new pan-Asian restaurant on the Seven Seas
Explorer when it is launched next summer.
Pacific Rim will feature Asian
fusion dishes such as tempura battered Canadian lobster with shiso leaf
finished with an orange ponzu sauce and spicy mayo, and a miso-spiced black cod
wrapped in hoba leaf accompanied by pickled daikon and spicy den miso.
The restaurant, the third to be
unveiled for Explorer, will be decorated by design firm RTKL Associates. Guests will have
ocean views through windows designed in an abstract lotus shape, a universal
Asian motif. Smoky mirrors between the windows will add volume to the
room by reflecting muted light throughout the space and illuminating intricate
architectural details, Regent said.
The maiden
voyage of the 750-passenger Explorer is set for July 20, 2016.
