Culinary Cruising

Learning to cook and taking a cruise are two activities that don’t necessarily go hand in hand.

But these days, cruise lines are working to bringing guests into the fold with culinary experiences.

On Holland America cruises, which are becoming known for their state-of-the-art kitchens, guests can not only watch cooking demonstrations, but get involved with the slicing and dicing.

Silversea Cruises offers specialized voyages for those interested in the culinary arts.

The Viking Cooking School aboard Silversea incorporates demonstrations and competitions into the ships’ activities, as well as lessons with world-renowned chefs.

Don’t want to spend your vacation working in the kitchen? There’s another option.

Princess Cruises’ Emerald Princess is now offering chef’s tables for an additional $75 per person.

In these kitchen seats, you can watch the culinary action from the front-row.
