Princess Cruises is to open the new The Salty Dog Gastropub onboard three ships.
Located in the Wheelhouse Bar, the dining venue has launched on Crown Princess this October, and will open onboard Emerald Princess and Ruby Princess in mid-December. Guests dining at the venue will be able to pair small gourmet dishes inspired by pub favourites with craft beers, cocktails and wines.
“The Salty Dog Gastropub is an enticing addition to our onboard culinary offerings and brings yet another unique dining option to our guests,” said Rai Caluori, executive vice president of guest experience for Princess Cruises.
The menu was developed in collaboration with chef Ernesto Uchimura.
“A gastropub at sea is an innovative concept and it inspired me to get creative in the galley,” said Chef Uchimura. “The Salty Dog Gastropub’s menu will not only satisfy comfort food cravings, but also offer guests new pub food flavours and tastes perfectly paired with a craft beer or fine whisky.”
The Wheelhouse Bar is also offering an expansive new international whisky bar menu, featuring some of the best American bourbons and whisky from Scotland, Japan, Ireland and Australia. The menu offers daily specialised whisky flights, allowing guests the opportunity to taste and compare selections around the world.
Dawn Princess, Sea Princess, Sun Princess, Diamond Princess and Golden Princess will also offer the whisky menu in the Wheelhouse Bar by the end of 2015. It will then be rolled out to all ships, except Pacific Princess, by summer 2016.
