Experimental tasting
The Test Kitchen
Chef-driven tasting menus presented as ingredient lists — creative, surprising, theatrical.
Deck 6
Inspired by Escoffier's Ma Cuisine, The Test Kitchen serves evolving, chef-driven tasting menus presented as an ingredient list — but the techniques, plating, and flavors are explored in ways you won't see on a traditional cruise.
Some sailings also host experiential add-ons like mixology or coffee labs in the space. It's the most "chef's table" experience on the ship and the one foodies book first.
What to order
- Chef's tasting menu (trust the kitchen)
- Wine pairings if offered
- Dessert course — often the surprise hit
Good to know
