If you’re setting sail on a Disney Cruise, then you’ll want to know that Disney Cruise Line and the cast of ABC’s daytime show, The Chew, are cooking up some brand new experiences for ship guests!
New food-and-beverage-themed Port Adventures (also known as Port Excursions) will give guests the chance to “celebrate the stories, cultures and flavors” of the locations they visit during their cruise. And the hosts of The Chew (whom you may also know from their recent presence at the Epcot Food and Wine Festival) — Clinton Kelly, Carla Hall and Michael Symon — are working together with Disney Cruise Line to create Signature Collection Port Adventures featuring recipes from the show prepared by local chefs in the ports of call. And all of the Culinary Port Adventures are The Chew Approved!
Offerings for the Culinary Port Adventures are quite extensive, so you’ll want to check out the Disney Cruise Line website to view them all in light of your cruise destination. The Chew Approved Port Adventures span from Culinary Classes (hands-on seminars led by top chefs ashore) to Epicurean Adventures (where culinary experiences enhance other activities in your excursion) to Wine & Dessert appreciation and more!
For instance, in Costa Maya, Mexico you might attend Salsa Cooking & Dancing (with time for a beach break!). Or take a Cooking Class in Tuscany, Italy. Sailing in Alaska? You can “Cook Your Catch”! Or take a tour of of Graycliff Chocolatier (and make a few of your own chocolate creations) in Nassau, Bahamas.
And that’s just a glimpse! So have some fun checking out potential The Chew Approved Port Adventures that might be offered on your next Disney Cruise!
