Foodies will have a field day this October, when Crystal Cruises sets sail with a wine and food festival. They might not have lined up top TV celebs, but if the executive chef of the Dorchester Hotel and owner of Michy's in Miami can't cook up a cruise to remember, then no one can.
Onboard there'll be cookery demonstrations and tastings; on port days Crystal has lined up cooking lessons in Sorrento and wine-tasting in Sicily among other gourmet delights.
Luckily both Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony have big gyms where passengers will be able to run off all that food.
