If you are looking to satisfy your palate, take a cruise and discover new tastes. Make the most of a Food and Wine Cruise on board MSC Lirica, MSC Poesia or MSC Orchestra.
These cruise programmes include cooking demonstrations by professionals. Enjoy learning how to prepare exquisite regional Italian dishes as well as specialties from the countries on your chosen itinerary. Learn the tricks of the trade as the chefs suggest how to prepare the perfect pasta, rice, meat and fish dishes. There will also be tips on selecting and preserving the best ingredients.
Lovers of fine wines will have time to increase their knowledge under the guidance of an expert and passionate sommelier. Savour the premium vintages from Italy's wine-producing regions. Discover the technical aspects of wine-making and how to combine the best wines with regional specialty dishes. Then watch and learn from the barmen as they concoct the best cocktails on the high seas. Guests will also receive a wine dictionary to increase their knowledge of wines produced around the globe.
Special attention will be paid to the art of hospitality at home. There will be lessons on how to set a table, including the centrepiece and name plates.
There will also be light-hearted games and contests, all with a culinary theme. A quiz will test your memory on the names of drinks, international dishes or ingredients. Aspiring chefs will have the opportunity to compete against one another.
Each evening will be a celebration of food featuring different menus served at the various restaurants on board. These will include light menus and vegetarian dishes, as well as desserts for diabetic guests and special dishes for kosher meals.
