Celestyal Cruises has introduced a brand new signature menu featuring authentic Greek food, which will be available onboard all sailings from this month.
The new menu was developed in collaboration with Diane Kochilas, one of the world’s foremost experts on Greek and Mediterranean cuisine.
Diane is the host, creator and co-producer of My Greek Table, the highly acclaimed cooking and travel show that airs nationally on Public Television in both the US and Australia.
Kochilas is also the author of more than 18 cookbooks on Greek-Mediterranean Cuisine, a consulting chef and a cooking school owner.
The new menu, called “My Greek Table Six-Course Tasting Menu”, will feature local and regional ingredients from the islands that Celestyal visits.
Dishes are all centred on the healthy Mediterranean Diet, with vegetarian, gluten-free and/or vegan options available.
Guests can enjoy the new menu for a supplemental charge. A daily signature dish created by Kochilas will also be available in the ship’s main dining room.
Leslie Peden, Chief Commercial Officer of Celestyal Cruises said, “We are thrilled to expand our partnership with Diane that started in 2019 with our sponsorship of season three of My Greek Table and has developed into this dynamic culinary collaboration which places additional emphasis on Celestyal’s Greek roots through our cuisine experiences.”
“As more and more travellers seek healthier food options, we are delighted to have joined forces with such a well-loved and admired Greek culinary icon as Diane to provide our guests with authentic onboard experiences that no other line sailing in the Eastern Mediterranean can offer.”
Diane Kochilas said, “As the Mediterranean diet continues to gain popularity and more travellers discover the variety of Greek cuisine beyond the classic Greek street food, I am so excited to bring my love of Greek cuisine, its products, regional flavours and health-giving qualities onboard Celestyal.
“Greece is an amazing gastronomy destination, with delicious adventures in every port of call. The interest we both have in sharing the love for the culture and food of Greece made my partnership with Celestyal a no-brainer.”
