Bordeaux Dining Room

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Fine Dining on the High Seas

The Bordeaux Dining Room is one of the signature dining venues aboard the Coral Princess, a Princess Cruises ship custom built to navigate the historic Panama Canal. The vessel carries more than 700 balcony staterooms and sails itineraries ranging from Alaska to the Caribbean and beyond — and the dining room at its heart has earned the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence for 2025, a recognition that speaks directly to the quality of the wine program and the overall table experience on board.

A Ship Built for Serious Dining

The Coral Princess was designed with a range of dining options, and the Bordeaux Dining Room sits at the more formal end of that spectrum. The ship's broader food and beverage offering includes the Crown Grill — known for premium aged beef and fresh seafood — as well as the International Café for lighter fare. The Bordeaux Dining Room complements these with a more composed, sit-down experience suited to guests who want a proper dinner service while at sea.

The Wine Spectator Recognition

Earning a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence is not incidental. The guide evaluates wine lists for depth, breadth, and how well selections complement the food being served. For a dining room that draws on Italian, seafood, and steakhouse influences across its menus, a well-curated cellar matters — and the 2025 recognition confirms that the Bordeaux Dining Room takes its wine program seriously. Guests who appreciate thoughtful wine pairing alongside a fine dining dinner will find that commitment reflected in the list.

What to Expect

The setting is a classic main dining room experience elevated by attentive table service and a menu that spans Italian preparations, fresh seafood, and steakhouse-style cuts. Dietary accommodations are available, and the room welcomes families as well as those looking for a more intimate evening. Whether you are sailing a Panama Canal crossing or a Caribbean voyage, the Bordeaux Dining Room offers a consistent anchor for the evening — a place where the meal is treated as an occasion rather than an afterthought.
