IN just a few short weeks, Discovery Princess will be on her way to Sydney, serving up new culinary experiences to Australian cruise passengers.
“Food is such a big part of the Princess experience, and Discovery Princess truly shines here,” Princess Cruises VP Matt Rutherford told Cruise Weekly.
“Guests can savour world-class dining at our signature restaurants like Crown Grill, Sabatini’s Italian Trattoria and The Catch by Rudi, each offering distinctive flavours and exceptional service.”
“For something truly special, there’s 360: An Extraordinary Experience, a first-of-its-kind immersive culinary journey that engages all the senses – exclusive to Discovery Princess and Enchanted Princess.”
The experience is a 90-minute seven-course, multi-sensory journey that blends destination-inspired storytelling with cuisine, wine pairings, interactivity and visual entertainment.
While 360 takes guests on a trip through the Mediterranean, the menu is not shared beforehand to surprise and delight guests.
Sami Cohen, Princess’ US VP for Food and Beverage, described Princess’ culinary offerings as “out of this world”.
“We try to create unique experiences that are unmatched [compared to] any of our competitors, any of our sister brands and any hotel or restaurant ashore,” Cohen told Cruise Weekly.
“We spend a lot of time creating unique, memorable culinary experiences with entertainment or unexpected surprises.
It is not just great quality food that we are offering, great presentation or service – we will go a little bit beyond to ‘wow’ our guests,” he added,
Cruise specialist Jane Fowler from TravelManagers noticed more of her clients looking for unique dining options.
“Passengers now seek not just meals but memorable moments – with options like chef’s table experiences, cooking classes, food and wine pairings, and immersive local food excursions tied directly to the destinations visited,” she said. JHM
