Cunard’s
cruise ship Sea goddess
A Tom Chandley oven has been installed on board Cunard’s
cruise ship Sea goddess I. A three deck, three trays
per deck, Compacta oven fitted with Ultra steam facility
has been installed in the ship’s kitchen. The installation
represented a major undertaking for our engineers as
the oven had to be delivered to Barcelona to be fitted
into the ship while it docked there. The oven is used
for a whole range of baked products as the staff cater
for the 116 passengers that the ship carries to locations
as diverse as the Greek Isles, Hong Kong and the Caribbean.
Cunard’s corporate chef, Rudi Sodamin, commissioned
the oven, stating that he chose it because, as a chef,
he ‘insists on using only the best ingredients and the
best equipment available and Chandley ovens are among
the best on the market’. Another consideration is the
reliability of the oven at all times, as the Cunard
could not afford for the oven to break down while the
ship is on the high seas.
