Swan Hellenic: A Unique Gastronomic Journey
Swan Hellenic, a company known for its culturally inspired journeys, has recently partnered with JRE-Jeunes Restaurateurs to offer its guests unique gastronomic experiences.
Swan Hellenic‘s mission is to “let its guests see what others cannot”, and it does this through expert international guides who share their knowledge and experience on the company’s itineraries.
For this reason, Swan Hellenic shares a love of excellence, from the refined comfort and range of amenities on board to the truly creative gourmet cuisine. That is why it has decided to partner with JRE to bring some uniquely talented chefs on board for some special cruises.
But let’s see exactly what is so special and unique about this gastronomic experience called Maris.
JRE-Jeunes Restaurateurs, is a culinary organization of restaurateurs and chefs whose main goal is to share their talent and love of food with like-minded people. With 375 restaurants and 160 hotels in 15 countries, JRE offers exceptional gastronomic experiences. Internationally renowned, these innovative creators combine culinary skill with a passion for tradition, sustainability and local ingredients to create surprising new interpretations of the territories explored aboard Swan Hellenic ships.
The new Maris cruises thus combine the wonderful opportunities to experience the cultural and scenic heritage of the itineraries sailed aboard the fleet with the culinary expertise of JRE‘s international chefs. Guests will enjoy carefully curated menus that reflect the ingredients and traditions of the regions visited.
Highlights of the Maris experience include:
Specialty Dishes
Each night, the dinner menu features a specialty dish prepared by one of JRE’s chefs.
Gala Dinner
During the elegant Gala Dinner, the entire menu is curated by the JRE chef, with exclusive dishes created for the evening.
Show Cooking
Guests will also have the opportunity to watch one of JRE’s chefs in action, discovering the secrets of their craft as they create one of their dishes, creating a true show.
Culinary Excursions
Complementing the experience are the Culinary Excursions, which offer guests special activities accompanied by a JRE chef, such as lunch at a JRE restaurant, wine tasting at a winery recommended by the chef, or a tour of the shops to purchase delicious local products recommended by the chefs themselves, all to explore the local culinary traditions and specialties.
A comprehensive culinary program to fully immerse oneself in the destination and enrich one’s knowledge also in the field of culinary traditions, a true cultural heritage of each region visited by Swan Hellenic’s rich itinerary program.
