Our Executive Chef, Robert van Rijsbergen, joined Uniworld in 2022 to take our culinary excellence to the next level, with an emphasis on supporting our sustainability goals through ethically sourced cuisine.

“Throughout my years of cooking, I have been exposed to so many wonderful ingredients from all over the world. I hope to take Uniworld guests on a journey through these wonders, transforming the magic and authenticity of fresh local foods from the glorious places we sail, into exquisite meals that ignite taste buds and highlight the unique flavors of the location.”

Farm-to-table isn’t just a trendy culinary buzzword around here. It’s a governing philosophy and commitment to serving you the very best local dishes created by our master chefs. When in Italy, dinner may consist of Prosciutto di Parma pizza and Osso Buco Milanese, prepared to your liking, with meats and vegetables sourced from just miles away. After a day immersed in Indian culture, your taste buds may do some immersing of their own with Gajar Shorba and Tandoori Chicken Tikka for lunch. Live brilliantly. Dine locally.
