This exclusive gastronomic sail will be limited to just 3 sailings per chef starting from the 2nd of September 2024, featuring a special meet and greet during each of their premiere sails.

Each chef will bring their own interpretation of fine dining aboard the Royal Albatross tall ship, blending traditional techniques with innovative culinary approaches. This will be the first time that the Royal Albatross opens its onboard kitchen to external chefs, marking a significant milestone in the ship's culinary offerings. "Most people underestimate the challenges that our onboard chefs face when preparing food in the ship’s galley, which is why we chose to invite a group of Singapore’s best chefs to pit their skills and bring their innovation and techniques to this special collaboration," said Pete L. Pela, CEO and Owner of the Royal Albatross.

This unique experience promises to marry the elegance and grandeur of a luxury

sailing experience with the exceptional culinary prowess of Singapore’s top chefs.

Guests will have the opportunity to enjoy meticulously crafted dishes, each embodying the chef's distinctive style, set against the backdrop of Singapore's stunning coastline. This exclusive event not only celebrates the art of fine dining but also highlights the spirit of collaboration and innovation within Singapore’s vibrant, world-class culinary scene.

Chef Petrina's culinary vision is rooted in her Singaporean heritage and enriched by her worldwide explorations. The menu at Morsels, predominantly Asian Fusion, is a testament to her creative and avant-garde approach to food. As an award-winning celebrity chef and owner, she actively collaborates with winemakers, farmers, and sauce makers, seamlessly integrating their artisanal products into her dishes. This commitment to collaboration and locality is palpable in every bite, with the restaurant's offerings constantly evolving every 2-3 weeks to keep the dining experience refreshing and relaxed. Since 2018, Chef Petrina has also been incorporating her own fermented sauces and ingredients, further distinguishing Morsels from other dining establishments.

Prior to joining Marina Mandarin, he was the Master Chinese Chef at Majestic Restaurant. We had the pleasure of sampling the wonderful 5-course meal prepared by Chef Edward.

We love the gastronomic sunset cruise experience, the live music on-board, the special and unique ambience and especially the food from Peach Blossoms from Chef Edward - we love Cantonese food so it resonated well, and that lovely cat on the lower deck, Willy is just so adorable.. The atmosphere was lively, up-tempo, and mesmerizing as we sailed past various landmarks across in Singapore and also Sentosa! What a brilliant experience and the service staff and captains on board were so friendly and hospitable!

We are pretty delighted that they have a plethora of different packages to cater to various visitor segments, with differing motivations and inspirations.. these range from
