Get up close and personal with the experts of Celebrity Cruises culinary team on a special summer sailing all about cooking and food. “Don your chef hat and apron and depart on a culinary journey that teaches cooking technique and beverage secrets as part of the Excite the Senses program,” says Celebrity Cruises on their website.
Celebrity’s Excite the Senses lifestyle cookbook was the inspiration for this year’s theme cruises. Featuring over 260 recipes from our most popular restaurants and bars onboard, the book also has sections detailing how to host parties at home in true Celebrity style.
Each voyage will be lead by a member of the Celebrity Culinary Team and a beverage partner. Enjoy a Meet & Greet event, a book signing, two demonstrations of recipes from the book, two hands-on classes, and a Food & Wine Pairing Dinner. Each expert will also incorporate elements of the sailing’s ports of call. Learn more.
