Cruise line Seabourn is introducing a regionally inspired culinary program created specifically for the line's Alaska season. The program builds on Seabourn's tradition of local cuisine and features Alaska's culinary traditions and coastal influences throughout each voyage.

"Seabourn Encore's Alaska season gave us the opportunity to bring the destination into focus in a more intentional way," said Mark Tamis, president of Seabourn. "From the first evening on board through the final days of the voyage, the culinary program is designed to reflect where guests are and deepen their connection to the experience."

The new offerings comprise a series of dining experiences featuring locally sourced seafood, foraged ingredients and partnerships with Alaskan artists shape a dining experience that evolves throughout each sailing.

• Surf & Sear Sailaway - A sailaway dinner exclusive to Alaska itineraries, served buffet-style on the first evening of each voyage departing Vancouver or Juneau. The menu pairs seafood and steak with dishes including Weathervane Scallops, Chilled Alaskan Crab and more.
• Alaskan Seafood Boil - An immersive three-course experience centered on an individual pot of King crab legs, Alaskan salmon, mussels, bacon wrapped scallops and shrimp. Tables are dressed with paper tablecloths, guests are offered Seabourn-branded bibs, and team members wear lumberjack shirts and jeans, complete with crackers and seafood picks.
• Fisherman's Table - An intimate, shared tableside dining experience spotlighting salmon and halibut, served mid-cruise and timed to scenic sailing near Sitka on one itinerary and Misty Fjords on another.
• Midnight Sun Dinner - An elevated Alaska-inspired dinner that brings the region's wild spirit to the table. The menu features dishes such as Wild Mushroom Consommé, Alaska King Crab Salad, Olive Oil Poached Black Cod and Baked Alaska. Custom menu artwork is created in partnership with Alaskan Native artist Crystal Worl.
