Invited guests onboard were treated to an intimate culinary experience as Chef Lee made a special appearance, sharing his journey, inspirations and passion for food in a live session, offering a closer look at the stories behind his craft and creative philosophy.
Speaking on the collaboration, Michael Goh, President of StarDream Cruises, said: “Welcoming Chef Tommie Lee onboard Genting Dream marks a special moment in our 10th Anniversary celebrations. We are always looking to surprise and delight our guests with exceptional experiences, and this partnership adds a new layer to our
journey at sea – bringing together great food, storytelling and travel in a truly memorable way.”
Chef Tommie Lee said: “Food has always been about connection and creating memories. I’m excited to partner with Dream Cruises for their 10th anniversary and share a specially curated menu that guests can enjoy together during this special milestone.”
The highlight of the sailing unfolded through a specially curated menu by Chef Lee — a refined French dining journey at sea, elevated with a pairing of the iconic French champagne house Veuve Clicquot.
Each course was thoughtfully designed to bring together classic technique and modern finesse, beginning with delicate bites of Escargot Vol-au-Vent, featuring tender escargot encased in a light, buttery pastry shell. This was followed by a refreshing Prosciutto with Mesclun Salad, complemented by shaved Parmesan, Kalamata olives and a bright lemon dressing. Guests were then taken deeper into French coastal flavours with a rich and aromatic Bouillabaisse Maison, infused with saffron and a selection of fresh seafood. The experience continued with a luxurious main course of Slow-Roasted Veal Tenderloin, paired with foie gras and truffle roulade, accompanied by green pea mash, roasted carrot purée and a velvety port wine sauce. The journey concluded on a sweet note with Chocolate Mousse with Dulce de Leche Espuma, offering a smooth and indulgent finish.
While this sailing marked Chef Tommie Lee’s exclusive onboard appearance, guests can continue to enjoy the same specially curated menu on upcoming Genting Dream sailings from 3 May to 3 July 2026. Available at Bistro Restaurant, it is priced at SG$90 nett per person, or SG$132 nett per person with wine pairing, extending his signature creations to more travellers as part of Dream Cruises’ 10th Anniversary celebrations.
This milestone sailing sets the tone for an exciting year ahead, as Dream Cruises continues to roll out elevated dining, entertainment and lifestyle experiences onboard its flagship – the Genting Dream. Guests can also look forward to more exciting celebrity collaborations in the coming months, as Dream Cruises unveils a line-up of upcoming stars and exclusive experiences to watch out for.
