Home / Kitchen & fun
Fatto a manoThe kitchen is the centre of this ship. Most of what happens on board involves flour, a pot of water or a glass of wine, and the evenings end with music.
Hands-on workshops for fresh tagliatelle and ravioli, with the main class on the sea day. You start with flour and eggs on the board and finish with a plate of your own pasta.
Sea day and selected mornings · all ages with an adult
Regional Italian wines with pairing sessions in the wine bar: Sicilian whites, Tuscan reds and a few cheeses from each region on the route.
Afternoons in the wine bar · 18+ for wine · drinks are extra
A six-course menu in the Al Dente restaurant, with the chef at your table to explain each plate and answer questions.
Two evenings per voyage · small groups
Guided visits to local markets in every port: taralli and biscuits, lemons in Sorrento, street food in Palermo. The chef buys for the evening menu as you walk.
Port mornings · comfortable shoes
Live Italian music every evening, from Neapolitan songs to quiet jazz, with an amaro or a decaf espresso after dinner.
