Seabourn on TravelandLeisure.com
Foodies are always hungry for news of Thomas Keller, and we’re happy to satiate them. With news about to be announced of the partnership that will take culinary offerings to new heights on the ultra-luxury cruise line Seabourn, we secured Travel + Leisure’s Travel + Food Editor Brooke Porter Katz to conduct a pre-announcement interview with the world-renowned chef and Seabourn President Rick Meadows. The result was an exclusive: “How Chef Thomas Keller Will Raise the Standards of Cruise Dining,” which appeared online on June 10. Among gems in the piece were two photos and Keller’s reminiscence that he knew he would be interested in partnering with the line after seeing Seabourn Quest in Miami several years ago. The article also mentioned Adam D. Tihany’s contribution to the design of the line’s newest vessels, Seabourn Encore and Seabourn Ovation. Travel + Leisure online is a big score, with VPM of 1.2 million.
