Princess Cruises has partnered with Bon Appetit magazine to assemble a series of culinary shore excursions. Guests will be able to choose from 30 excursions beginning this year.

Princess said the tours fall in two categories: Exclusive Tours, which are small-group tours available only through Princess and Bon Appetit, and Recommended Tours, which offer a “celebration of gastronomy endorsed by the experts at Bon Appetit.”

On both, Princess said guests will gain a deepened understanding of the destination “through a small-group, sensory journey of authentic culinary experiences drawing from the life of locals.”

It said the excursions will immerse travelers in local ingredients and cooking styles, as well as demonstrations and tastings from local chefs and personalities.

As an example of an Exclusive Tour, Princess said guests going ashore in Dublin can learn to prepare scones from Catherine Fulivio, chef and proprietor of Ballyknocken Cookery School, House and Restaurant.

An example of a Recommended Tour in Alaska is the Juneau Foodie Walking Tour, where participants will taste crab bisque, fish tacos and smoked pork, along with local Alaska beer and wine.
