Starting this fall, travelers can experience a meal
by celebrity chef Alain Ducasse on an all-new ship along Paris' Seine
River.
The 200-passenger, all-electric Ducasse Sur Seine launches in September, offering either lunch or dinner onboard,
ranging from a $115 three-course lunch to a $570 five-course dinner
paired with wine and champagne. There is also a $40 option for an
afternoon sweet and savory tea time on the rooftop with a view of the
Eiffel Tower.
The three-course lunch includes items such as sea bream
gravlax, guinea fowl and duck foie gras and line-caught Pollock with
shellfish "a la mariniere," followed by hazelnut and citrus shortbread,
oven-baked figs with fig tree ice cream or a Parisian chocolate
composition. The five-course dinner menu also features chilled lobster,
pan-seared fillet of beef au jus and the Parisian chocolate composition
for dessert, served with a crispy praline.
The vessel is a collaborative project
between Ducasse Paris, Citysurfing and the Caisse des Dpts. Passengers
will embark at Port Debilly near the Tracadero metro stop across the
river from the Eiffel Tower for a 90-minute cruise along the Seine that
will sail past some of Paris' iconic landmarks, including the Louvre and
Notre Dame.
All cruises are open for booking.
