REGENT Seven Seas Cruises (RSSC) has launched new Epicurean Explorer Tours and Culinary Arts Kitchen Classes in Alaska, in celebration of Seven Seas Explorer’s first season in the state.
As part of its Epicurean Perfection program, the three new tours and three new classes will be themed around the cuisine of the Pacific Northwest of North America.
Highlights include a visit to a sustainable oyster and kelp farm, a catamaran ride through a glacier-carved fjord to a sustainable wild salmon hatchery, and plenty of opportunities to sample local delights, such as seafood and artisan crafted beers.
New classes on board showcase recipes from dishes found in the Vancouver and Seattle area, and how to make sustainable seafood selections.
“We are incredibly excited to offer a new collection of immersive culinary experiences to enrich Seven Seas Explorer’s inaugural Alaska season,” President Andrea DeMarco said.
“Alaska’s untamed natural beauty and flourishing wildlife makes it the perfect destination for multi-generational travel”.
For the first time ever, the Culinary Arts Kitchen team, led by Executive Chef Director of Culinary Enrichment Chef Kathryn Kelly, has also designed a class specifically for six–16 year-olds.
RSSC noted kids between two and 17 can sail free on six select cruises in Alaska for all new reservations made before the end of next month.
“Our new collection of culinary experiences for Seven Seas Explorer’s inaugural Alaska season is rooted in topics that are important to our guests,” Kelly said.
“We invite our guests to explore The Last Frontier by way of learning sustainable fishing and aquaculture, mastering fish cooking in our hands-on cooking school and understanding the authentic culinary traditions of the indigenous peoples and immigrants living in the majestic region of Alaska.”
