Culinary Travel and Cruises

Culinary travel is one of the fastest growing segments in travel.  Ask anyone about their vacation and you are likely to hear about meals they enjoyed during their travels or the wonderful wine they discovered. People love to talk about food, but more importantly, they love the experience of dining and learning about what they eat and drink.  This is why culinary specialists like myself see the growing demand for travel that includes delicious food and wine itineraries.

Culinary cruises combine food and travel

In response to the growing interest in all things culinary, cruise lines play an important role.  Cruises provides their guests with the ultimate culinary experience by featuring celebrity chefs, wine lectures and food festival-themed cruises.  A culinary cruise is the perfect way to combine one's love for travel and fine food and create one incredible cruise experience.

For those with the love of cooking and dining, a big part of the cruise experience is the sampling of local dishes and wine tasting. Culinary Cruises offer these highlights and so much more. Often on a culinary cruise celebrity chefs demonstrate their techniques, share their menus and let you participate in the process.
