Celebrity Cruises celebrates another success as the brand continues to set new standards for culinary innovation: The cruise line was recently awarded Forbes Travel Guide’s first-ever Five-Star rating for a restaurant at sea. Le Voyage on Celebrity Xcel, and in partnership with renowned chef Daniel Boulud, Celebrity Cruises’ global culinary ambassador, joined the elite group.
“At Celebrity Cruises elevated hospitality is in our DNA. Guided by our guests, we dream up and deliver experiences that create memories and stories they cannot experience anywhere else. This dedication to excellence is reflected in our culinary offerings – from our award winning wine collection to our partnership with industry visionary, chef Daniel Boulud,” said Laura Hodges Bethge, president, Celebrity Cruises. “We are extremely proud and honored to earn Forbes Travel Guides’ first Five-Star rating for a restaurant at sea, this industryleading recognition reflects our unwavering commitment to culinary excellence.”
Forbes Travel Guide is an authority on excellence in hospitality, and the only independent, global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, spas and ocean cruises. Celebrity was the first cruise line to earn a Forbes Travel Guide Star Award in 2023 and was recognized in the inaugural ratings for restaurants on cruise ships in 2025. This year, Celebrity earned eight total awards for its ships and restaurants.
“I have the honor of being Celebrity Cruises’ global culinary ambassador, supporting their delivery of elevated culinary experiences. Throughout the years of partnership, I recognized Celebrity’s drive for culinary innovation and dedication to quality service. We began expanding our collaboration, first featuring my menus for their Suite guests, then trusting Celebrity to launch my first-ever restaurant at sea,” said Boulud. “Le Voyage is the culmination of our years-long partnership, and we are thrilled to be recognized with Forbes Travel Guides’ Five Stars. Together we look forward to continuing to redefine the possibilities of dining at sea.”
The Le Voyage experience is much more than a meal — it’s a cultural journey of flavors from around the world. Guests can choose between an elevated selection of á la carte offerings or a five-course tasting menu. Additionally, Le Voyage on Celebrity Ascent earned a Four-Star rating, along with Fine Cut Steakhouse on Celebrity Ascent and Celebrity Apex.
Every Forbes Travel Guide Star Rating is the result of in-person, anonymous evaluations measured against hundreds of objective standards.

On the other side, the scenery changes: Cliffs rise like walls, vineyards clip past in neat rows, pine trees line the road. Between these, cities give way to small communities with art galleries, local restaurants and shops selling beachwear.
