Thanksgiving Day Menu Aboard SeaDream I and II

Being foodies ourselves, we really appreciate cruise lines that pay attention to every detail of a menu—whether it's a hearty breakfast platter, grill lunch, or seven-course holiday meal.

My husband and I both agree that the best gourmet cuisine at sea can be found aboard SeaDream Yacht Club's two mega-yachts: SeaDream I and SeaDream II.

This is an entree we enjoyed aboard SeaDream II on our cruise in January 2010.

The line's executive chef Sudesh Kishore takes holiday menus seriously and recently shared highlights of what guests will be served today on Thanksgiving with SeaDream I in Nevis and SeaDream II in St. Barts.

SeaDream's Thanksgiving Menu

• Starter: homemade terrine de foie gras with pear compote, black truffle dressing, and toasted brioche
  
  
• Soup: creamy lobster bisque infused with cognac or a cream of pumpkin soup
  
  
• Entree: slow-roasted turkey with stuffing, gravy, cranberry-orange relish, asparagus, and mashed potatoes
  
  
• Alternative main dishes: Dover sole meuniere or grilled jumbo tiger prawns "Caribbean style"
  
  
• Desserts: apple pie, pumpkin pie, pecan pie, pear and chocolate strudel with vanilla rum sauce, and homemade ice cream and sorbet

Yum! Here's to a happy holiday, everyone!
