Scenic has announced two Tastes of Discovery voyages through Northern Europe and the Mediterranean aboard the Scenic Eclipse I and II.
These immersive culinary journeys will be led by chefs Gabriel Rodriguez and Begoña Rodrigo, the cruise line shared in a press release.
Departing in September 2026, these specialty sailings will allow guests to experience Europe through the flavors, traditions and local ingredients inspired by the destinations they visit.
“Food has the unique ability to connect travelers to a destination’s culture, history, and people in a way few other experiences can,” said Robert Castro, VP of marketing, Scenic Group USA & LATAM.
“Our Tastes of Discovery voyages pair some of the world’s most talented chefs with remarkable itineraries across Europe, giving guests exclusive access to extraordinary culinary experiences while exploring some of the most captivating destinations on the planet. It’s a celebration of gastronomy, culture, and discovery at the highest level.”
