Each evening, the chef will offer a different and surprising signature dish, in a crescendo that culminates in an extraordinary gala dinner created to showcase his creativity and skill; he will also organize a cooking show that will reveal some of the secrets of his art, and lead gastronomic excursions ashore to discover local culinary traditions and specialties.
Maris combines in-depth lectures onboard with shore excursions where guests can explore and taste local traditions and cultures related to hunting and fishing, agriculture and gastronomy, all in the company of world-renowned chefs and benefit from their expert perspective. It is this extraordinary combination that makes Maris a new and irresistible experience in fine dining cruise gastronomy.
