The Chef’s Kitchen sits 12 guests. A team of culinary experts guides attendees through a journey of discovering new ingredients, flavors, textures and cultures, regardless of cooking level.

​The experience continuously evolves depending on the regions currently visiting, and it will also extend ashore with visits to local markets and hand-pick producers. The adjacent, ocean-front dining room is the perfect venue for guests to celebrate their new skills and savor the incredible dishes they created.
