Cruise for Foodies - a big success

The hugely successful “cruise for foodies” we wrote about in FOOD NETWORK AT SEA WITH CELEBRITY CRUISES in our June 10 blog is sadly coming to an end - but don’t be too sad about having missed this one, plans are underway to offer a range of additional exclusive Food Network programs in the Food Network at Sea program for 2010 and 2011. These experiences will include other trips with Food Network stars, and trips tied to specific Food Network culinary trends or topics

The 7-night Eastern Caribbean Cruise that departed August 22 from Ft. Lauderdale aboard the Celebrity Solstice, called in San Juan, St. Thomas and St. Maarten, and featured culinary demonstrations led by Iron Chef Cat Cora and Chef Aarón Sánchez from Chefs vs. City, hands-on cooking classes with Food Network chefs, a Food Network VIP Lounge & Screening Room, Battle of the Celebrity Solstice Chefs competition event and VIP Pier-side check-in.

The only cable channel dedicated to connecting viewers to the power and joy of food, Food Network established Food Network at Sea to allow consumers to not only watch the network, but to experience it first hand.

If you were one of the lucky ones on the cruise, we would love to hear from you. and find out all about it.
