Paul Gauguin Cruises is adding a dash of culinary celebrity to the French-inspired tropical cuisine enjoyed aboard M/S Paul Gauguin, as the line welcomes two renowned food and wine experts to host its 11 December 2024, Society Islands & Tuamotus voyage.
Hawaiian cuisine culinary expert Chef Tom Wong and Certified Sommelier Charlie Plummer will work alongside the ship’s acclaimed team to offer tasting and culinary demonstrations, mixology workshops, wine seminars, and more.
Offered complimentary as part of the line’s Themed Enrichment Voyages, the Food and Wine Culinary Cruise will feature signature dishes and cocktails throughout the 10-night journey.
The Gauguin’s culinary experience rivals anything found on land: think fresh-picked fruits and fruits de mer including mahi mahi, moon fish, prawns, and the ubiquitous yellowfin tuna prepared to taste – grilled sashimi, and the wildly popular ceviche-like poisson cru; followed by French-inspired delicacies such as foie gras terrine, duck à l’orange, and a delectable Tahitian vanilla crème brûlée.
Three unique venues – plus 24-hour room service – ensure a culinary experience that appeals to every palate.
