Cultural Cruising
New enriching experiences for groups at sea
curves to mimic the flow of wind and water. Groups aboard the
vessel can also enjoy an 11,000-piece, $4.5 million art collection,
showcasing destination-inspired artwork from around the world.
Highlights include a 33-foot panda and cub sculpture called "Mama
and Baby," perched atop Deck 15, and an ideal spot for the
proverbial selfie.
Ovation will offer a season of five premium cruises to
destinations such as Japan and Thailand. The 16-deck vessel
recently completed its 52-day maiden voyage from Europe to
Tianjin, China.

T
oday's cruise lines continue to up the ante on creative
opportunities for groups on land and at sea. From innovative
food and film pairings, to onboard art exhibits and port
excursions, here's a roundup of the latest cultural offerings.
CELEBRITY CRUISES
A multisensory "A Taste of Film" experience has recently debuted
on three of Celebrity Cruises' Millennium Class ships. Taking place
on the Rooftop Terrace, groups can enjoy film presentations paired
with cuisine that complements the movie. The first film selection
is "The Hundred-Foot Journey," which tells the story of a feud
between two adjacent restaurants, one Indian and one French, in a
small French town.
"A Taste of Film activates all the senses to create a fully
immersive and transportative experience," says Chef Cornelius
Gallagher who created the multi-course tasting menu that
accompanies the film screening. "When the movie starts, groups
enjoy Indian-inspired dishes such as beef filet Bombay with mango
pickle. Then, when the setting transitions to France, they will savor
items such as truffled mushroom risotto, or bites of Valrhona
chocolate cake with sweet vanilla Chantilly."
ROYAL CARIBBEAN INTERNATIONAL
The first-ever kinetic moving sculpture at sea is braving the waves
on Royal Caribbean International's Ovation of the Seas, soon to
become the largest cruise ship ever to homeport in Hong Kong.

An Overnight Adventures program launched with Azamara this year,
which allows groups to enjoy immersive two- and three-day land
excursions during their international cruise. The program plunges
groups into the unique culture and character of the destinations
where they port. Options include visiting the ancient temples
of Bagan in Yangon, Myanmar, which has 3,000 temples and
monuments dating back to 849 AD. An Overnight Adventure in
Oman is also on offer, featuring an evening of dancing and barbecue
at a Bedouin camp, followed by a night in a resplendent tent.
SILVERSEA CRUISES
Silversea has announced three new Culinary Expedition Voyages on
the 132-guest Silver Explorer for late 2016 and 2017, which combine
cultural exploration with culinary events. Voyages include exploring
the west coast of South America, with the opportunity to fly over the
mysterious Nazca Lines of Peru. Other highlights include savoring a
pisco sour cocktail at one of Lima's top restaurants, set in the ancient
ruins of a pyramid, observing an indigenous ritual in Chile's Atacama
Desert, and dining in a 16th century monastery in Peru.
CRYSTAL CRUISES
Crystal's new river cruise ship, the Crystal Mozart, aims to push
the envelope for onboard tech. The ship's 219 sf S-class suites are
all equipped with iPads on the bedside table that allow groups to
operate the television, call room service, check the weather, book
an excursion or change the temperature in the cabin. The tablets
can also be used throughout the ship to watch on-demand movies
or browse excursion itineraries from anywhere onboard. Other
tech touches include a touchscreen panel for adjusting lights, and
setting "do not disturb" or "make up my room" indicators. Even the
bathroom is replete with state-of-the-art tech and has a range of
programmable settings.- Steve Grasso
