Chef Nobu to Sail Crystal Serenity in July

Chef Nobu Matsuhisa, one of the most famous restaurantaurs of our generation, always encourages his fans to add kokoro or heart to everything they cook. He feels only then can we effectively communicate through the meals we prepare for the ones we love.

In addition to his 25 land-based restaurants across the globe, Chef Nobu also designed Silk Road and The Sushi Bar dining experiences for Crystal Cruises. Fusing Asian and Peruvian cuisines, Chef Nobu's menus are inventive and delicious.

Some items that have appeared on the Silk Road menu include:
  • Lobster Spring Roll with Lobster Chunks, Shiitake Mushrooms, and Shiso Leaves...Served with Maui Onion-Tomato Salsa

  • Seaweed Salad with Lemon-Soy-Bonito Flavors

  • Grilled Wagyu Beef Rib Eye Steak with Wok-Fried Vegetables and Three Kinds of Anticuccho, Teriyaki, and Nobu-Style Wasabi Pepper Sauce

  • Vanilla and Coconut Tapioca Soup served with Green Tea Ice Cream

The chef has cruised with the line in the past and he'll do so again on July 28 when he joins Crystal Serenity in the Mediterranean.

He'll prepare a series of chef's choice menus in addition to greeting guests, signing cookbooks, and demonstrating various cooking techniques.

This 12-day itinerary visits Venice, San Marino, Corfu, Rhodes, Bodrum, Istanbul, Mykonos, and Athens. Cruise fares start at $6,055 per person, double occupancy. An all-inclusive "As You Wish" promotion provides a $2,000 per couple shipboard credit to customize one’s cruise experience. The Crystal Assurance Plan offers reduced deposits and cancellation periods, as well as the assurance that guests will be protected at the reduced fare if a stateroom category is later reduced.
