Cruises by cuisine: how to tailor your travel to your tastebuds

Don’t your tastebuds deserve a holiday too?

Luxury cruises provide rest and relaxation for your mind, body and soul. But don’t your tastebuds deserve a holiday too?

Add some flavour to your next adventure with a true feast of seasonal produce, destination inspired menus designed by celebrity chefs, and unique and intimate dining experiences.

Set sail and explore the wide ranging options available and let taste lead the way to your next adventure.

Princess Cruises

It speaks volumes about a cruise ship when a celebrity climbs aboard; it’s something else altogether when celebrity chef, restaurateur, New York Times best-selling author and television personality Chef Curtis Stone sets up behind the galley to provide exciting culinary creations designed exclusively for Princess Cruises.

Let your tastebuds rejoice at “Share,” an all new speciality restaurant on select ships. Explore the exquisite “Crafted by Curtis” menu items available fleet wide. Or treat yourself to the ultimate on-board dining experience with “Chef’s Table by Curtis Stone”, including a galley tour and special multi-course meal prepared by the Executive Chef on-board.

P&O Cruises

One menu isn’t enough for you? How about seven?

From the top deck to the galley, each P&O cruise offers seven outstanding cafes and restaurants, available across their fleet. Enjoy a casual coffee and cake from Charlie’s Bar and The Café, a classic Aussie meal from The Grill, the banquet-style dining offering a variety of Asian-inspired menus of Luna, the modern and stylish offerings of Waterfront Restaurant and The Pantry, or enjoy a truly special offering from Australia’s only celebrity chef restaurant at sea with Salt Grill by Luke Mangan.

Give your tastebuds the holiday they deserve.

True North Luxury Adventure Cruises

Don’t settle for less than special. The on-board dining of True North cruises endeavours to provide sustainable, organic, and very Australian cuisine with unique, destination inspired menus. But more than the meal is the experience. Partake in oysters and champagne amongst the ancient rock-art of the Kimberly coast. Land the catch of the day alongside the very chef who will serve it up to you with “Fish with the Chef”.

Aboard True North, guests are encouraged to spend time with the chefs to grow an intimate understanding of the quality of ingredients and the magic of every meal prepared. This is dining, the True North way.

Carnival Cruises

Luxury and attention to detail influences every aspect of a cruise, and nowhere more so is this made clear than the meal to be laid before you. Within the Nouveau Restaurant, Carnival Cruises offer an intimate atmosphere and extensive menu, with the finest aged beef, mouth-watering steaks, double-cut lamb chops, lobster tail, grilled fish, and 17 gourmet entrees, salads, soups and side dishes, complimented by the season’s freshest produce and wines handpicked by the chefs to perfectly match the wide-ranging cuisine; a bounty of irresistible flavours await your mouth.
