A decade of charting magnificent waters, redefining luxury travel, and creating unforgettable memories at sea deserves a celebration of truly epicurean proportions. To honor its momentous 10th Anniversary, Dream Cruises is thrilled to launch a highly anticipated series of exclusive onboard events. Setting sail into this celebratory year, the festivities kick off with a spectacular, limited-edition culinary cruise featuring the brilliant dae-dan-han (magnificent) culinary maestro Chef Tommie Lee.
Affectionately known to global audiences as “French Papa,” Chef Tommie Lee captured the hearts and taste buds of epicureans as a standout contestant on the hit Netflix original variety show, Culinary Class Wars Season 2. Renowned for his meticulous, heartfelt, and deeply soul-stirring approach to classical French bistro cuisine, the chef de cuisine behind Seoul’s acclaimed Bistrot de Yountville brings his culinary theater directly to the open ocean for an exclusive, highly anticipated partnership.
Complementing this world-class gastronomie is the ultimate onboard sanctuary—a beautifully appointed balcony room designed for deep healing and relaxation. Bathed in warm, ambient lighting, the stateroom seamlessly blends contemporary élégance with maritime charm, featuring a plush coral-toned sofa, a spacious layout, and a large vanity mirror that opens up the living space.
The true pièce de résistance of the room, however, is the private balcony. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors offer uninterrupted, majestic views of the open ocean, allowing guests to witness breathtaking sea horizons right from the comfort of their pristine queen bed. It is the perfect, serene backdrop to unwind after an evening of indulgence.
Onboard guests will be treated to a masterfully curated menu that beautifully displays Chef Tommie’s technical savoir-faire and his jeong (deep passion and affection) for fine dining. The exclusive anniversary menu shines a brilliant gwang-chae (brilliant radiance) on a sequence of other show-stopping French delicacies:
The culinary journey begins with a magnificent display of pastry precision. The Escargot Vol-au-Vent reimagines a beloved French classic with meticulous execution. It features an ethereal, cylindrical casing of puff pastry that rises flawlessly into dozens of paper-thin, buttery layers. Chef Tommie packs this light-as-air pastry crown with a rich, savory, and velvety ragout filling featuring tender escargot, ensuring an explosion of luxurious texture and deep pung-mi (rich flavor) with every single crisp bite.
Providing a refreshing and beautifully balanced intermède is the Prosciutto Ham with Mesclun Salad. This dish highlights the premium ingredients to “sing” with harmony. Delicate, ribbon-thin shavings of savory prosciutto ham are draped over a crisp bed of fresh mesclun greens. The salad is artfully tossed with nutty, shaved Parmesan cheese and rich Kalamata olives, all tied together by a bright, vibrant lemon dressing that masterfully cuts through the richness of the ham with a clean, satisfying finish.
The grand crescendo of the savory courses arrives in the form of a decadent Slow Roast Veal Tenderloin, Foie Gras and Truffle Roulade. A dish requiring immense technical skill and patience, the tender veal is rolled with buttery foie gras and earthy truffle, then slow-roasted to absolute, melt-in-your-mouth perfection. It is served alongside a vibrant green pea mash and a velvety, naturally sweet roasted carrot purée, all elevated by an unctuous, deeply savory Port wine sauce that offers the ultimate comfort.
Rounding out the celebratory culinary theater is a dessert that balances whimsy with classic technique: the Chocolate Mousse with Dulce de Leche Espuma. This grand finale features a remarkably smooth, intensely decadent chocolate mousse. To prevent the dish from feeling heavy, Chef Tommie tops it with a light, airy, and cloud-like dulce de leche espuma—delivering a perfectly balanced sweet, salty-caramel, and creamy finish that delights the palate.
Beyond the exceptional culinary theater, your evenings at sea will be illuminated by world-class entertainment at the magnificent Zodiac Theatre. Guests can look forward to a curation of spectacular, not-to-be-missed nightly performances that push the boundaries of human artistry and raw creativity. Prepare to be edge-of-your-seat spellbound by Trust Fall, a thrilling showcase of gravity-defying balance, jaw-dropping acrobatics, and deep emotional trust. For a completely different sensory escape, Colour My World invites the audience into a vibrant, high-energy kaleidoscope of dazzling choreography, rich visual artistry, and stunning musical orchestrations—offering the ultimate cultural crescendo to a perfect night on the ocean.
Framed by the boundless ocean and an exclusive menu curated to perfection, Dream Cruises elevates the art of dining at sea to unprecedented heights. To celebrate a decade of magnificence, there is no finer tribute than raising a glass beneath the stars, embraced by the waves, and savoring the culinary brilliance of Netflix’s breakout gastronomic luminary. Bon Voyage, Mas-it-ge deuseyo! It is this very spirit that has earned Dream Cruises a coveted shortlist for Best Cruise In The World 2026 by Savour BlackBookAsia lead by Founder, Gabriel Tan. This potential accolade gleams with prestige, adding yet another jewel to the Genting Group’s illustrious crown of luxury hospitality.
