🎄 The Magic of Christmas Dinner at Sea Christmas at sea isn’t just about festive décor and holiday cheer—it’s about creating unforgettable dining experiences that bring people together. Cruise lines are redefining how food elevates the holiday experience, with specialty dining taking centre stage. From traditional Christmas dishes to globally inspired menus, the festive meal is a celebration of taste, creativity, and togetherness. ✨ “Creativity is driving the cruise industry’s culinary sector. It’s not just about taste; it’s about emotion and innovation,” shared Rudi Sodamin, Chief Culinary Officer at Princess Cruises, during this year’s The Evolution of Specialty Restaurants on Board session at F&B@Sea. 🎅 Specialty dining is now at the heart of the cruise experience, and Christmas is the perfect time to showcase culinary innovation. As Rudi added: “Presentation, emotion, and creativity come together to elevate the experience.

🌱 All I Want for Christmas is… Plants? 🎄🍽️ This festive season, tables are going greener, with 27% of UK households prioritising plant-based dishes. Cruise lines are embracing this trend, crafting bold, sustainable, and globally inspired menus. 🗣️ As Lawrence McFadden, Executive Chef, shared at this year’s F&B@Sea: “Guests want bold, memorable experiences, and plant-based options can be a way to surprise and delight while aligning with global dining trends.” 🌍 However, this comes with challenges—33% of cruise F&B professionals identified plant-based foods as the hardest to source, navigating supply chain disruptions and price pressures. Enter Impossible Foods, trailblazing plant-based innovation! Returning to F&B@Sea 2025, they’re redefining sustainability with festive recipes like Holiday Meatloaf and Impossible Meatballs. 🎅 They also shared a December Recipe of the Month for our newsletter—check it out for some holiday inspiration! ✨ F&B@Sea 2025 is where challenges meet solutions, connecting cruise lines with innovators shaping the future of F&B at sea. 📅 10-11 April 2025 | 📍Mana Wynwood Convention Center.
