Crystal`s Wine & Food Festival program attracts experts from across the globe, each with their distinctive and flavorful flair from such spots as Honolulu, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Africa and Italy. Coinciding with Crystal Cruises` sailing schedule, chefs develop menus to reflect the spirit of the sailing regions, utilizing the areas` freshest ingredients. The series, slated for 20 worldwide cruises from Alaska to Africa aboard Crystal Harmony and Crystal Symphony, also puts the spotlight on an impressive roster of 10 of the only 41 master sommeliers in the United States and features one of the country`s 18 Masters of Wine. At least one celebrity chef and one wine aficionado will be featured on each cruise, with 57 visiting stars in all.
New in 2001, the guest chef will prepare a four-course dinner featuring his/her signature dishes, matched with wine pairings by the guest wine expert. The menu, showcasing an appetizer; soup, salad or pasta; seafood/fish and meat entrees; and dessert, is offered to all guests in the Crystal Dining Room. By day, the visiting chef will also demonstrate cooking techniques, share recipes and tips, and participate in question and answer sessions.
