Windstar: Three Culinary Themed Cruises
Windstar Cruises has announced the James Beard Foundation-affiliated guest chef range for its series of three culinary-themed cruises that will take place in 2023.
The trio of acclaimed visiting chefs includes Jerome Grant of D.C., Ayesha Nurdjaja of New York, and Tracy Chang of Boston. All three themed cruises include two onboard cooking demonstrations, as well as four dishes from the visiting chef. Each chef will also conduct a market tour, gathering fresh, local ingredients for the dishes served on board. In addition, all three chefs will provide recipes that will be featured on Windstar menus for all cruises.

“As the Official Cruise Line of the James Beard Foundation, we’ve hosted dozens of top chefs over the years. One of the best byproducts possible is a delicious and constantly rotating section of JBF dishes on our menu – on all of our sailings,” explains Windstar President Christopher Prelog. “It doesn’t get any better than sailing with a James Beard Foundation guest chef on a special culinary cruise. Not only will you get to eat their food—you’ll get to know them. You may even learn a few tips and tricks for being a better cook yourself, and you’ll definitely have a richer and deeper travel experience because of it.”
