visiting Burma to inspect the
progress of his newest “centre of
culinary excellence” – RV Samatha
– was APT Asia Ambassador and
celebrity chef Luke Nguyen.
Joining the cooking whiz was
APT global head of operations,
innovation and procurement
David Courage and Asia product
manager Goldie Chong.
With the ship’s hull and interior
offerings coming together day by
day, Nguyen took charge of the
situation in the kitchen, meeting with shipbuilders about layout
and catering requirements.
RV Samatha will debut as part
of APT’s 2016/17 season, offering
30 suites per sailing, many with
twin balconies.
Other facilities will include a
pool, lounge areas, observation
deck, a main restaurant and more.
Dinners served to guests
onboard each evening have been
personally designed by Nguyen.
In addition, an intimate eightseat
dining venue will offer an
exclusive degustation menu also
designed by the APT Ambassador.
During his stay in Burma, Nguyen
embarked on a fact-finding
mission on land to visit many
local communities to discover the
unique culture and inspirations
behind Burmese cooking.
