Emerald Cruises has announced special culinary-themed sailings featuring celebrity chef Ben Robinson.
The two sailings will take place on its 100-guest luxury yachts, Emerald Azzurra and Emerald Sakara, in 2023 and 2024.
Chef Robinson, best known as the executive private yacht chef on TV’s Below Deck, will bring his distinctive culinary style to two eight-day sailings.
The first sailing departs Venice on 28 October 2023, and the second will depart San Juan, Puerto Rico, on 2 March 2024.
Chef Robinson has worked under Italian master chefs in Florence and gained an apprenticeship at the three-Michelin Star restaurant, The Fat Duck in Berkshire.
Ben was a head chef on yachts for more than ten years, including the largest sailing yacht in the world.
He is well known for his appearances on Below Deck and Below Deck Mediterranean; both runaway hits on Bravo TV, followed by Netflix UK.
Guests joining these exclusive special sailings will have multiple opportunities to sample Chef Robinson’s cuisine and join cooking demonstrations.
At the evening welcome reception that kicks off each sailing, guests will meet the chef and enjoy a signature cocktail.
During the onboard cooking demonstrations, Chef Robinson will share his creations, made with locally sourced ingredients, and share cooking tips during an interactive Q&A session.
He will also lead guests on onshore excursions to add his insights and flair to the experience.
He will also design three customised dinner menus, which will be served in the yachts’ exclusive onboard dining room, La Cucina.
Chef Robinson said: “As you can imagine, I’m a huge fan of yacht cruising, so when I learned about Emerald Cruises’ beautiful, modern yachts, I knew I wanted to cook on board. It’s a natural fit for me.
“I look forward to sharing my passion for food with the guests and exploring the culinary traditions of these regions together.”
Prices for Coastal Charms of Italy and Croatia start from £4,790 per person based on a 28 October 2023 departure onboard Emerald Azzurra.
Prices for Hidden Charms of the Caribbean start from £5,245 per person based on a 2 March 2024 departure onboard Emerald Sakara.
