A culinary voyage

A gastronomic cruise is a voyage for the senses, with a focus on food and wine pairing. Combining taste and smell. Gourmets, oenophiles and epicureans, take a seat on board companies like CroisiEurope and enjoy dishes concocted by Michelin-starred chefs such as Marc Haeberlin, Chef of the Auberge de l'Ill (a three-star Michelin restaurant), accompanied by Serge Dubs, French sommelier awarded the title of "World's Best Sommelier" in 1989.

Imagine, for a moment, discovering the treasures of your regions, local produce, guided tours and historic sites to admire, and returning aboard the ship in the early evening, ready to enjoy a delicious meal concocted by the ship's Michelin-starred chefs.

For, far beyond a cultural voyage, it's above all a gustatory odyssey through the different flavors and products of the French regions and the world that is offered to you through this gastronomic theme. Each region has its own specialties. Let yourself be carried away by Austrian cuisine on Luftner Cruises' Riesling cruise, or discover pre-Columbian and Panamanian treasures on Ponant.

From appetizer to dessert, let yourself be seduced by the many local dishes prepared by our chefs. With fresh produce and finely selected ingredients, you'll be able to fully appreciate the refined dishes of the upscale cuisine on your gourmet cruise.

It's worth noting that all shipowners now accommodate their passengers' diets. Restaurant menus will feature small signs indicating whether the dish you have chosen is vegetarian and/or gluten-free. So there's no need to panic - everyone can eat as they please.

Become an apprentice chef

During your stay, let yourself be lulled by culinary magic through several workshops where you'll learn cooking recipes alongside famous Michelin-starred chefs. Ideal for impressing your friends and family when you return from your cruise. You can also take part in conferences and round tables organized by wine and culinary experts such as Jérôme Nutile and Patrick Jeffroy. A cruise to match your ogre's and ogress's appetites, and to delight your taste buds!

Vegan cruises

In response to the growing demand for more ecological and environmentally-friendly eating habits, a number of cruise operators are now offering Vegan cruises. On board these new Vegan cruises, where you're sure to be surrounded by people who share the same philosophy of life as you, you'll have the opportunity to share your knowledge at round tables and conferences with spokespersons of the Vegan movement. You can also take part in Vegan cooking workshops. On board, you won't smell any grilled meats or bacon in the morning. You'll also be able to see your diet adapted to your needs: gluten-free, sugar-free and cooked in olive oil.
