Seabourn, a leader in ultra-luxury cruises and expedition travel, has introduced Zero @ Sea, a new mixology program offering a variety of non-alcoholic cocktails. This program aims to enhance the onboard beverage options with inventive drinks that are free of alcohol. The Zero @ Sea menu includes ingredients such as elderflower, fresh citrus, and botanical spirits, providing refreshing alternatives to traditional cocktails. These non-alcoholic beverages are available across all bars and lounges on Seabourn ships, along with an upgraded selection of non-alcoholic wines, sparkling wines, and beers.
Gerald Mösslinger, Senior Vice President of Guest Operations, highlighted the increasing demand for non-alcoholic beverages among guests. The Zero @ Sea program was developed to offer a diverse range of choices, catering to evolving preferences and ensuring that guests have access to innovative and delicious zero-proof cocktails.
The Zero @ Sea menu features a variety of non-alcoholic cocktails crafted with premium ingredients. Some of the unique offerings include the “Amalfi Spritz,” which uses non-alcoholic Rosé and Lyre Italian Orange, the “Ginger Blossom” with Seedlip Groove 42, elderflower, and ginger ale, the “Ginny ‘n Tonic” with Optimist Bright, elderflower, and grapefruit, and the “Not So Cosmo,” inspired by a cosmopolitan with the garnish of a classic old fashioned.
The new cocktails were created by Seabourn’s culinary and beverage team, led by Michael Simon, Senior Manager of Restaurant and Bar Operations, and Francisco Fernandes, Corporate Manager Service Operations. Simon noted the growing interest in non-alcoholic options among guests and emphasized that the Zero @ Sea menu offers premium cocktails that are both flavorful and visually appealing. The program ensures that the absence of alcohol does not compromise the taste or complexity of the drinks.
Seabourn’s Zero @ Sea is the latest addition to its onboard culinary offerings, which also include Solis, a new fine dining experience celebrating Mediterranean cuisine. Solis was launched on Seabourn Quest in January 2024 and will be available on Seabourn Ovation, Seabourn Encore, and Seabourn Sojourn by spring 2024.
