Wanna level up your lifestyle and become a true Italian food expert?
Get on board The Taste Cruise, a unique and unforgettable 6-day trip to discover the real deal—the essence of Italian food, wine, and traditions.
On the Costa Fascinosa, you’ll be joined by a pro chef who’s also a wine expert, a cheese taster, an olive oil sommelier, and a coffee connoisseur, available for you 24/7. You’ll learn everything you need to know about choosing, cooking, and appreciating authentic, high-quality Italian grub.
A sensory experience at every port
Every stop on this trip is a chance to have some seriously immersive food experiences:
- Marseille: Discover the secrets of local cuisine with your personal chef. They’ll take you on a market tour so you can learn how to spot fresh seafood, produce, and seasonal veggies.
- Naples: Learn how to make the real deal—Neapolitan sfogliatella—and go on an unforgettable street food tour. You’ll also get to taste three different types of mozzarella and Campania wines, and get an original Neapolitan moka pot as a gift.
- Livorno: Get your hands dirty with a lesson on making homemade pasta, and taste three different kinds of Tuscan pecorino cheese and three world-famous, prestigious Tuscan red wines.
Discover and taste the real flavor of Italy
During this cruise, you’ll have the chance to taste and buy local products straight from the producers. You’ll hear their stories and discover all the little nuances of each region. You’ll learn the techniques for making extra virgin olive oil, wine, cheese, and espresso. You can compare how the same product has different tastes and characteristics in Campania, Liguria, and Tuscany, and you’ll get to take home a tasting basket with a selection of the best local products, bought directly from the artisans you’ll meet in person.
Your lifestyle, leveled up forever
This isn’t just a trip—it’s a real learning experience that will give you skills for life.
