Culinary Cruises, Wine Cruises and Other Theme Vacations at Sea-- Enriching And Fun Cruise Vacations!

While a cruise is a wonderful vacation in its own right, many cruise lines offer theme cruises or special interest cruises, plus we offer our own series of culinary vacations and personal enrichment theme cruises.

Exclusive New Culinary Programs
Culinary cruises and food and wine theme cruises are all the rage. After all, food and travel go hand in hand. There are theme cruises featuring guest chefs, wine makers, food and wine pairings, and cooking demonstrations. We also showcase some very special food and wine cruises you can read about in detail, which include our Bon Appetit Travel programs and Food Network at Sea programs.

Holland America's premium cruise ships have a culinary theatre onboard featuring a demonstration kitchen, and use it to stage hands-on cooking demonstrations on many of their cruises.

Ama Waterways offers specially-crafted wine cruises, hosted by wine experts, that highlight Europe's acclaimed wine regions along the Rhine, Mosel and Danube rivers. Each cruise features lectures, wine tastings, special wine pairings at meals and wine-themed shore excursions.

While many luxury cruse ships offer fine dining experiences and alternative restaurants, Crystal Cruises features exclusive food and wine events for small groups of just 14 discerning guests in their Vintage Dining Room, not to mention a fabulous dining experience onboard at Nobu's. On its newest ships, Oceania Cruises also has a wine pairing dining venue, Reserve, not to mention a hands-on Bon Appetit Culinary Institute onboard.

Other Themes & Interests
While culinary sophistication is important, it's not all about food, however. Other special interest cruises include guest lecturers from entertainers and artists to political experts. Expedition cruises like Orion Expeditions or Lindblad Expeditions will enrich your knowledge of the planet. If you don't find what you're interested in on our site, contact us with your request.
