Special themed cruises that are based on the culinary interests of cruise passengers have been building up in popularity. There will be a record number of wine and food cruises in 2008.
An unprecedented number of wine and
food-themed excursions and onboard presentations by the culinary world’s brightest stars set the stage for Crystal Serenity’s May 2008 Wine and Food cruise. Highlighted by a two-day overnight call in Bordeaux, the 12-day voyage from London to Rome offers 18 epicurian Crystal Adventures in the French wine country, Portugal, Spain and the French Riviera, as well as
onboard events with Master Chef Andre Soltner and Master Sommelier Evan Goldstein. Connoisseurs short on time can experience new six-day segments of the cruise.“From cooking lessons in Barcelona and the South of France to ‘from the barrel’ tastings at Chateau Mouton Rothschild, the region is rich in opportunities for authentic wine and food programs,” says John Stoll, director of Crystal Cruises’ land programs. “To visit the wine regions of Bordeaux, Cognac, St. Emilion, and Pomerol, as well as Spain’s La Rioja region and Lisbon’s Port Wine Institute on the same voyage is a rare treat. To pair that experience with onboard instruction and a multi-course dinner prepared by James Beard Award-winning Master Chef Andre Soltner, former owner of New York’s famed Lutece, is extraordinary.”
This is one way for people to combine several passions into one cruise. For food lovers, this could be a lot of fun.
