These thoughtfully designed Shore Excursions grant privileged access to local food cultures — from Michelin starred restaurants to familyrun farms and bustling markets to private kitchens — always led by those who know the region best. Whether harvesting vegetables from biodynamic gardens, learning ancestral techniques from village cooks, or savoring wines with renowned vintners, these optional journeys invite you into culinary adventures where strangers become friends, recipes become stories, flavors become memories.

Available on all Classic ships, with experiences tailored to each region's unique culinary heritage.

Northern Europe

From Russian caviar to the smokehouses dotting the Swedish countryside, there is much to recommend for a culinary tour of Northern Europe. Discover expertly guided shore excursions that uncover the history, stories and personalities behind the well-known dishes, as well as shine a light on lesser-known culinary treasures. Think of anything from an exploration of the world-class restaurant culture of Copenhagen to the preserving methods of Iceland, to foraging for flavors the New Nordic way.

Mediterranean

In the Mediterranean, S.A.L.T. Experiences invite you to discover the region's rich cultural tapestry through privileged access to local food artisans and traditions. On these highly curated Shore Excursions, you can ascend Portofino's famous Monte for an exclusive eco-farm picnic featuring wood-fired focaccia and panoramic views. Learn about time-honored cheese-making traditions in Mykonos or immerse yourself in Croatian cooking methods at the Miloslavic family homestead in Dubrovnik. Each Mediterranean S.A.L.T. Experience reveals centuries of culinary wisdom — shared by the people who continue to preserve traditions.
