Sailing with Crystal Cruises from Lisbon to London departing July 12? You’re in for a special culinary experience. Celebrating the cruise line’s 25th anniversary, renowned chef Nobu Matsuhisa will be on board to showcase his acclaimed cuisine and engage with guests throughout the 13-day voyage.
Nobu’s signature dishes are already featured onboard at Silk Road and The Sushi Bar. During the cruise he will expand on that presence with cooking demonstrations, book signings and sake tastings, giving passengers a close-up look at the techniques and flavors that made his restaurants famous.
Passengers can also choose several exclusive, optional experiences available for an additional fee:
- Chef’s choice dinners at Silk Road, with special menus created by Nobu that highlight toro tuna and include Champagne pairings and select, limited-production sake
- An intimate, extravagant private dinner for 12 guests (priced at $1,000 per person) with curated Champagne and wine pairings
“Nobu has been a special part of the Crystal family for many years, and we’re thrilled to welcome him back on board to celebrate our 25th anniversary,” said Edie Rodriguez, president and COO of Crystal Cruises.
The collaboration brings together Crystal’s tradition of elevated onboard dining and Nobu’s innovative approach to Japanese-inspired cuisine, offering travelers both familiar favorites and new culinary discoveries throughout the journey from Lisbon to London.
Those interested in these special events should inquire with Crystal Cruises for availability and booking details, as exclusive dinners and tastings are limited and may sell out.
