Cooking Lessons on the High Seas
This year, after a massive overhaul of two of its ships, Regent will offer a special trip in May on the luxurious Seven Seas Voyager. The 700-guest (all-suite, all-balcony) ship will sail from Ft. Lauderdale to Reykjavik, Iceland, with stops in New York City, New England, and Canada. During those two weeks, there’s definitely no chance of going hungry: The ship boasts a restaurant (Signatures) operated by Paris-based Le Cordon Bleu. The revered culinary-hospitality school also conducts intimate, hands-on workshops (available for an added fee), mainly in classic French techniques with contemporary adaptations. In addition to three two-hour classes, students will partake of two exclusive dinners and a graduation ceremony. From $6,194/person (double occupancy), includes all onboard meals and beverages, Le Cordon Bleu program, gratuities; rssc.com
