Theme Cruises

Excite the Senses culinary theme cruises

Inspired by the Celebrity lifestyle book
Our Excite the Senses lifestyle book was the inspiration for this year’s theme cruises. Featuring over 260 recipes from our most popular restaurants and bars onboard, the book also has sections detailing how to host parties at home in true Celebrity style.

Immerse yourself in fine food, drink and entertaining
Each indulgent Excite the Senses cruise vacation offers foodies a sensory experience that includes in-depth culinary demonstrations, robust tastings, food and beverage pairing dinners, and behind-the-scenes experiences. Led by members of the Celebrity Culinary Team and our wine and spirits partners, you’ll come away with a heightened appreciation for the artistry of cooking, entertaining, and eating.
