Exciting ways to get away from it all
FOR KEEN FOODIES
Cruises are a dream for the food-obsessed. Not only is there a raft of dining options to sample a few steps from your cabin door, most meals are included in the price. Now there’s another reason for gourmets to get excited: P&O Cruises offers culinary-inspired Food Heroes holidays featuring Marco Pierre White, Olly Smith, José Pizarro, Shivi Ramoutar and Kjartan Skjelde.
The chefs, along with wine expert Olly, accompany certain cruises to give demos and talks, and to host dinners as well as curate menus. On P&O’s Iona, for example, sailing along the Spanish coast to Portugal, José champions Spanish cuisine with his bespoke tapas menu in The Glass House (with wine pairings from Olly), plus street food dishes in Taste 360. Expect fresh, simple, classic dishes perfectly executed – think garlicky patatas bravas, saffron-scented paella and wafer-thin slices
