One of France's most decorated chefs is taking his cooking offshore. Christian Le Squer, the executive chef behind Le Cinq at Four Seasons Hotel George V in Paris, has signed on as culinary ambassador for Sedna, the signature restaurant aboard the Four Seasons I, for all of 2027.
Le Squer holds three Michelin stars at Le Cinq and previously ran the kitchen at Pavillon Ledoyen before joining the George V in 2014. His new role goes beyond a name on a menu: he'll help shape Sedna's overall culinary direction and develop the yacht's Chef-in-Residence programme, while Sedna's own cooks will train with his team at Le Cinq in Paris.
The most tangible part for guests is the food itself. Sedna will offer a signature tasting menu plus an à la carte line-up of French gastronomic classics, with dishes leaning on the seasons and the ports the yacht calls at — French technique meeting Caribbean and Aegean ingredients, in theory.
If you want the chef himself at the pass, two sailings are the ones to book. The first is "Lesser Antilles featuring Guadeloupe & Anguilla," running 21–28 February 2027 in the Caribbean; the second is "Greek Isles featuring Mykonos & Göcek," 12–19 September 2027. On both, Le Squer is on board as Chef-in-Residence.
Four Seasons Yachts positions itself at the top end of the cruise market, and this collaboration is clearly aimed at keeping that promise — the line's CEO, Ben Trodd, described Sedna as the centrepiece of the ship's culinary programme. For anyone who books hotels based on the restaurant as much as the room, this is a rare chance to eat three-star-calibre French food while island-hopping. Outside the two host voyages, the tasting menu and the trained kitchen team remain, but the chef-in-person dates are the ones with a story attached.
Watch for booking details on the two 2027 sailings if a Michelin-starred cruise dinner is on your bucket list.
