Norwegian Cruise Line, Holland America Line and Oceania Cruises are planning culinary voyages, updated menus and food-focused activities.
Chefs Making Waves with Bobby Flay & Friends is scheduled aboard Norwegian Joy from November 6 to 11, 2026. The voyage is set to visit Georgetown, Grand Cayman, and Montego Bay, Jamaica. Planned activities include mixology and cooking demonstrations, question-and-answer sessions, themed events and panel discussions.
