Celebrity Chefs Are All Over Cruises

Think cruise ships are all about crowded buffets and stale, uninspired dishes? You couldn’t be more wrong. Not only do cruise meals (yes, even of the all-you-can-eat variety) rival some of the best fine dining restaurants on land, but an increasing number of celebrity chefs (and those revered in the culinary community) are making their way into the cruise industry to run the enormous dining rooms or even open their own signature restaurants. Notable names include Geoffrey Zakarian, Guy Fieri, Jacques Pépin, Nobuyuki “Nobu” Matsuhisa, Thomas Keller, Jamie Oliver, and Curtis Stone.
