Regent Seven Seas Mariner - November 2006

Australian Celebrity chefs, Vic Cherikoff and Benjamin Christie from the popular Australian cooking show Dining Downunder ™ have been invited onboard the Regent Seven Seas Mariner as part of their Spotlight on Wine and Food cruises.

Both Vic and Benjamin will showcase Australian rare herbs, spices, fruits and more in an authentic Australian cuisine presentation onboard the Regent Seven Seas Mariner from Cairns to Sydney in November.

The Regent Seven Seas Mariner will depart Cairns on the 11th of November and will arrive in Sydney on the 15th of November. During the cruise, Vic and Benjamin will be hosting various Australian themed dinner menus in the Compass Rose restaurant.

Apart from the Australian themed dinner both chefs will be conducting a series of cooking classes using authentic Australian ingredients. During these classes, guests will be able to purchase a copy of the Dining Downunder Cookbook. Guests will also be able to procure their essential Australian supplies of herbs, spices and more in the Shop on-board. What better way to remember their Australian experience!

The Regent Seven Seas Mariner is the world’s first all-suite, all-balcony ship, as well as the first to offer dining by the famed Le Cordon Bleu® of Paris in Signatures, one of four single, open-seating restaurants. Catering to only 700 guests, she is one of the most spacious cruise ships afloat.
