Chefs Ahoy

2026
1 season
4 episodes

Hosted by beloved Australian comedian Peter Helliar, this light-hearted yet fierce competition drops two top chefs per episode into a high-seas culinary showdown where up to 4,000 hungry passengers decide the winner at "The Captain's Dinner". Celebrating the luxury and comfort of ocean cruising aboard Princess Cruises, Chefs Ahoy takes viewers on an unforgettable voyage – from the sun-soaked shores of Greece and the bustling streets of Korea to the vibrant food cultures of Japan and Spain. Part travel adventure and all foodie delight, each episode lifts the rival chefs way out of their comfort zones. After port-hopping to taste local authentic flavours, the chefs dock back on board to face their biggest hurdle: scaling up their signature dishes alongside the ship's elite crew. With time ticking, unfamiliar galleys and professional reputations on the line, the pressure reaches boiling point as they then serve up their creations to the passengers.
