Four Seasons Yachts has named Chef Christian Le Squer as Culinary Ambassador for Sedna, the brand’s signature fine-dining restaurant aboard Four Seasons I. Chef Le Squer, the executive chef of the three-Michelin-starred Le Cinq at Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris, will help shape the restaurant’s culinary direction.
Throughout 2027, guests will have the chance to experience Chef Le Squer’s distinctive interpretation of French gastronomy through a signature tasting menu and an à la carte selection of French gastronomic specialties.
Beyond his influence at Sedna, Chef Le Squer will join two featured Chef-in-Residence voyages, one in the Caribbean in February and another in the Greek Isles in September, offering guests a rare opportunity to experience his cuisine and engage with him in an intimate setting at sea.
“Sedna is the centerpiece of the culinary program aboard Four Seasons I, bringing together exceptional talent and a shared passion for creating memorable dining experiences,” said Ben Trodd, CEO, Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings Ltd., Joint Owner and Operator of Four Seasons Yachts. “As our culinary program continues to evolve, this collaboration with Chef Le Squer builds on that vision while showcasing Four Seasons culinary talent at sea. His influence will be felt at Sedna throughout the year, and during his two residencies, guests will have the opportunity to experience his cuisine with the chef himself while on board.”
Extending beyond the menu, Chef Le Squer will help shape Sedna’s culinary direction and guide the continued development of its Chef-in-Residence program, including advising on future collaborations and experiences. Sedna’s chefs will train alongside Chef Le Squer and his team at Le Cinq, learning the techniques, creative approach and attention to detail that distinguish the celebrated Parisian restaurant.
“One of the great strengths of Four Seasons is the extraordinary culinary talent across our global portfolio, and the opportunities we can create when that talent comes together in new ways,” added Philipp Blaser, senior vice president, food and beverage, Four Seasons. “Chef Christian Le Squer brings a distinctive culinary vision, together with a deep understanding of the experiences our guests value. His expanded role at Sedna will shape the restaurant throughout the year, while bringing the creativity and spirit of Le Cinq to an entirely new setting aboard Four Seasons I.”
Born in Morbihan, on the coast of Brittany, Chef Le Squer led the kitchen at Pavillon Ledoyen, where the restaurant retained three Michelin stars for twelve consecutive years, before joining Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris, as Executive Chef in 2014. He describes his menus as “moving” rather than seasonal, allowing them to evolve whenever an ingredient is no longer at its peak, an approach that naturally complements the Yacht’s journeys.
With its distinctive emerald-green interiors, Sedna seats 66 guests indoors and 40 outdoors, with a private dining room for up to 10. Its cuisine is rooted in French technique and delivered with an approachable elegance, complemented by a sommelier-curated wine list and thoughtfully crafted cocktails.
