Crystal Cruises has a new menu item for the Silver Anniversary President’s Cruise: Dinners, Tastings and Demos with the World-Renowned Chef Nobu Matsuhisa. Continuing the trend in Food and Wine Cruises being offered by the cruise lines, this is truly a great way to meet celebrity chefs whilst enjoying a Luxury Cruise.
Master Chef Nobu Matsuhisa is to bring his internationally acclaimed expertise onboard Crystal Cruises’ 12th July Luxury European cruise from Lisbon to Dover. Planned special dinners, sake tastings and celebrations are set to feature Nobu’s famous Peruvian-infused Japanese cuisine will only enhance the special atmosphere on board, as the sailing celebrates Crystal’s 25th Anniversary and is hosted by Crystal’s president and COO Edie Rodriguez. Throughout the 13-night voyage, Nobu – whose signature cuisine is featured in Crystal’s Silk Road and The Sushi Bar – will share his talents and famously personable panache during cooking demos, book signings and Sake tastings with Sake Master Hazu.
More exclusive and indulgent experiences planned for the voyage include:
Two omakase, or chef’s choice, dinners in Silk Road, with menus by Nobu featuring Connoisseur ingredients – including toro tuna – paired with champagne and rare, specially-crafted Hokustsu “Northern Snow” Sake and Ongaku-shu “Musical Sake”. The $250 per person dinners also offers guests a complimentary signed cookbook and photo with Nobu.
An extravagant, $1,000-per-guest Ultimate Vintage Room dinner with a specially designed menu complete with champagne and wine pairings for just 12 guests.
“Nobu has been a special part of the Crystal family for many years and we’re thrilled to welcome him back onboard to celebrate our 25th anniversary,” said Rodriguez. “Luxury travellers throughout the world relish the opportunity to enjoy his distinctive cuisine. Therefore, the fact that they can enjoy his specialties on every cruise during the year and have the opportunity to mingle with and learn from him makes it all the more special for Crystal guests.”
Nobu’s Japanese-Peruvian fusion cuisine has been served complimentary in Silk Road and The Sushi Bar onboard every Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity sailing since 2003 and 2008, respectively. Nobu personally trains all chefs, designs all menus and frequently visits the ships for ongoing refinement.
