The long time partnership between Holland America Line and the Food and Wine magazine has delivered immersive culinary experiences for guests for more than a dozen years. This has evolved into an exciting and ever expanding selection of culinary themed shore excursion tours that explore food, wine and culture in some of the world’s most renowned gastronomic hot spots.

I have taken several cruises which gave cooking lessons and excursions with famous chefs to local markets and restaurants. I took a bread making class on one trip, and there was only one other woman along with me, and 42 men. The lady told me that she has met her last three husbands on a cruise and it seems this is a good way to make new friends.
