Bernstein’s culinary creations will debut fleetwide in 2027 and guests will be able to enjoy exclusive signature dishes every evening in the Coastal Dining Room.
“Our guests consistently tell us that cuisine is one of the most memorable parts of their travel experience, and there is no one better than Michelle to further elevate our culinary experience onboard,” said David William Kelly, president and COO of Victory Cruise Lines.
