Meet the chefs

A Taste of France on Sydney Harbour

A cruise on the luxury cruiser Destiny never comes without an incredible food experience. All our menus are hand crafted by two prestigious French chefs, and you will taste the difference.

Meet Julien & Stephane, two “genius” of French cuisine!

Both have worked in some of the most prestigious restaurants to build their career and have now become true entrepreneurs creating French inspire dishes for the corporate world (see www.jadorecatering.com.au ) and they have also launched a revolutionary baby food concept (see www.bubsdelight.com.au ).

Smart Cruiser is proud to have signed an exclusivity contract with them, giving us an edge when it comes to catering on Sydney Harbour.

There is simply nothing like that.
