Famous chefs turning up on cruise menus
Wolfgang Puck, Georges Blanc, Todd English — some of the most famous chefs in the world are increasingly lending their names to cruise ships.
They’re partnering with member fleets of the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) in a variety of ways, including offering their various signature cuisine on dining room menus.
Some chefs are getting together with cruise lines to create full-scale alternative dining restaurants that mirror their own land-based establishments.
Themed culinary sailings are also popular.
“Today’s cruise ships have come a long way from the regimented dining rules and endless buffets of years past,” said Terrry L. Dale, president and CEO of CLIA.
The operative word today, he said, is “choice.”
