Unlock Unparalleled Luxury with Seabourn's Black Friday Sail 2025

Discover the World Through Flavor with Regent's Epicurean Enrichment Studio

Update A Culinary Voyage Awaits: Regent's Innovative Epicurean Enrichment Studio Regent Seven Seas Cruises is poised to redefine luxury dining at sea with its groundbreaking Epicurean Enrichment Studio, a brand-new culinary experience designed to connect guests with global cultures through the lens of cuisine. This state-of-the-art studio, set to debut on the Seven Seas Mariner during its 2026 World Cruise and later on the Seven Seas Voyager, aligns perfectly with the desires of today’s discerning travelers who yearn to experience destinations through immersive culinary exploration. Experiencing Culinary Culture on a New Level Attending a class in the Epicurean Enrichment Studio is more than just learning new recipes; it’s about storytelling, history, and the rich tapestry of flavors that make each destination unique. According to Jason Montague, the Chief Luxury Officer of Regent Seven Seas Cruises, “Culinary exploration has always been at the heart of meaningful travel.” This philosophy is evident in the curriculum designed by Executive Chef Kathryn Kelly, who has drawn inspiration from her extensive travels to craft engaging classes that range from mastering spice blending in India to savoring the nuances of Mediterranean olive oils. Engaging Culinary Experiences: The Five Pillars The Epicurean Enrichment Studio is built upon five key pillars: the Epicurean Passport Series, Chef’s Circle, Chef’s Table, Chef-Led Epicurean Enrichment Tours, and Chef-Hosted Dining. Each element promises to deepen guests’ appreciation for not only global cuisine but also the cultural traditions that accompany it. The new classes will transform spaces like the Stars' Lounge on the Seven Seas Mariner and the Club.com boutique on the Seven Seas Voyager into dedicated culinary hubs, a part of Regent’s extensive renovations aimed at enhancing the luxury cruising experience. A Unique Journey to Flavorful Destinations Through the Epicurean Passport Series, guests can collect culinary experiences akin to stamps in a passport, representing the diverse regions they explore from the comfort of the ship. Participants will engage in hands-on cooking, attend tastings, and enjoy lectures that celebrate regional ingredients and culinary heritage. Moreover, intimate sessions where chefs share personal culinary journeys promise to offer a deeper connection to the food and culture of each destination visited. Immersive Culinary Tours: Setting the Stage for Discovery The initiative also incorporates Chef-Led Epicurean Enrichment Tours, where guests can participate in excursions to local markets and artisanal producers, followed by guided cooking sessions. This ensures that travelers don’t just taste the food of a region; they learn its story and cultural significance, a unique twist that sets Regent apart from traditional cruise experiences. Creating a Lasting Culinary Legacy As the luxury travel market continues to evolve, Regent’s Epicurean Enrichment Studio is a step towards meeting the sophisticated needs of its clientele. Montague emphasizes that “guests want to see the world through a culinary lens,” and this innovative program successfully fuses history, flavor, and authentic experiences into an extraordinary voyage. Ultimately, this new culinary venture is positioned to elevate the standard of dining at sea while reinforcing Regent Seven Seas Cruises as a leader in the ultra-luxury cruise sector.
