Go to Alaska Cruise Go to 2026 Cruise

In Very Good Company

The destination is part of it. The company is everything. Vacation alongside your favorite celebrity chefs, round-trip from Miami to Puerto Plata, April 20–24, 2027, aboard the Norwegian Jewel. From live demos and culinary conversations to the moments in-between, Chefs Making Waves is your chance to experience the chefs’ craft, hear their stories, and actually be part of it, not just watching from your living room. Chef-curated dishes are woven in throughout, and the Unlimited Open Bar Package (included for the entire sailing) keeps things easy. Even time ashore in Puerto Plata will feel like a continuation, not a pause, as you discover local Dominican cuisine and explore somewhere new with fellow food lovers.

It all adds up to something hard to replicate and even harder to forget… because it’s not just about where you go or what you taste. It’s about experiencing it all in very good company.

 

A great vacation is already on the menu. These limited-time offers are just the icing on the cake!
