Azamara Cruises will introduce a new Chef’s Table dining experience to its four ships as part of its Azamara Forward refurbishment programme. The concept will expand on the brand’s popular French, Italian and Signature Chef’s Table experience, but will introduce a rotating series of themed menus inspired by the destinations the ship visits. The experience will debut exclusively onboard Azamara Quest in December 2026.

Additionally, refurbishment projects onboard Windstar Cruises’ Wind Star and Celebrity Cruises’ Celebrity Solstice saw dining venues refreshed with updated furnishings, flooring and wall finishes, as well as updated menus.
