Wonder is on the Menu
Glaciers, wildlife, and scenery are the reasons Alaska lands on so many bucket lists. Experiencing it alongside your favorite celebrity chefs? That’s what transforms an incredible destination into a once-in-a-lifetime experience few will ever have the chance to share in.
Indulge in an unforgettable food, wine, and spirits voyage September 21–28, 2027, round-trip from Seattle, visiting Juneau, Glacier Bay, Ketchikan, and Victoria, B.C. Instead of packing every moment to the brim, you’ll have the rare opportunity to slow down and truly take it all in. Share a whale sighting from the rail with fellow food lovers. Raise a glass as another breathtaking view comes into focus. Swap stories from an adventurous day ashore over a thoughtfully curated meal. Along the way, step beyond the screen with live culinary demos, lineup-hosted fun, and opportunities to hear the stories, inspirations, successes, and missteps that helped shape some of the food world’s most recognizable personalities. With chef-curated dining and the Unlimited Open Bar Package both included, it’s easy to focus less on the details and more on savoring every view, every conversation, and every unexpected moment.
Some vacations fill your camera roll. Others fill your story collection. This one does both... and your stomach too!
Wonder is already on the menu. These limited-time offers are just the finishing touch.
