Princess Cruises launches 'The Catch by Rudi' Dining Concept onboard Enchanted Princess
Luxury Cruise Guide
18 April, 2023
Princess Cruises has unveiled a new specialty seafood restaurant, The Catch by Rudi, a joint partnership with culinary icon Chef Rudi Sodamin, head of culinary arts for Princess.
Debuting on Enchanted Princess as it emerged from dry dock on April 15 and coming soon to three more of the line’s newest ships, The Catch by Rudi is the first Princess restaurant primarily devoted to seafood and offers a fresh take on seafood with the chef’s contemporary interpretations of classic dishes, international fusion influences, highly-creative presentations and an engaging dining experience.
The Catch by Rudi replaces Bistro Sur la Mer and is expected to make a splash given the menu that will appeal to both seafood aficionados and guests who simply prefer some great “surf and turf.” Guests will notice as soon as they pick up their menus that they are experiencing something unexpected and novel, as they read headings like “Beauty on the Plate” and “Tower of Taste.” The place settings are equally distinctive. Guests are greeted at their table by a special cocktail created by mixologist Rob Floyd. Priced at just $39 per person and available as a specialty dining option within the Princess Premier premium add-on package, the restaurant’s menu includes The Daily Catch—the fresh, sustainably sourced seafood from local ports of call.
The new specialty dining location also includes playful takes on seafood go-to dishes like Asian-fried calamari; modern twists on comforting seafood classics such as lobsters with garlic butter crust; and stunningly presented signature seafood inventions from the chef’s personal repertoire including a Towering Trio and Whole Dover Sole. The Seafood Trolley is a feast for the eyes with fresh lobster tail, shrimp, oysters, mussels, piled high along with other gifts from the sea.
While the menu is focused primarily on seafood dishes, The Catch by Rudi also offers dishes to appeal to every taste and appetite, along with vegetarian dishes, and signature beef classics like steak frites, all presented with the creativity that is distinctively Chef Rudi. All wines will be hand-picked to pair with seafood, and the smartly uniformed waitstaff will make knowledgeable recommendations for white, red, rose and sparkling wines from the great wine-growing regions located near coastal areas across the world.
Aboard Enchanted Princess, The Catch by Rudi is located across from the guest services desk on Deck 5, as Sabatini’s moves to Deck 7 in the piazza, where Bistro Sur la Mer was previously located. The new restaurant concept will be added aboard several other Princess ships including Majestic Princess (May 5) in time for its Alaska Season, Sky Princess (May 7) sailing from Southampton on Scandinavian and Baltic itineraries this summer and in the fall aboard Discovery Princess.
