The 2019 Culinary Collection

See More – Experience More – Taste More with Our Culinary Collection


We travel to experience the new: new cultures, new landscapes, new experiences. But of all these pleasures, what we tend to remember the most are the new flavors we encounter along the way. That’s because our taste buds have long memories, quickly recalling those fresh prawns in Sydney, the fizzy charm of Portugal’s Vinho Verde, the spicy chilaquiles in Mexico.

We know how much you enjoy unique culinary experiences, and so our agency works hard to offer you exclusive culinary amenities—at no additional charge. We do this through our Culinary Collection sailings, a carefully curated selection of worldwide cruises. Each departure celebrates a world of epicurean delights and features demonstrations from world-renowned chefs, onboard and onshore cooking classes, wine and spirit tastings and delightful meals focused on regional cuisine.

Culinary Collection sailings feature some of the most popular itineraries aboard the following cruise lines and include the following amenities:

  • Avalon Waterways: Complimentary bottle of wine and box of chocolates delivered to your stateroom
