Plan Now for the 2025 Chefs Making Waves Cruise

Take all the fun of a top-tier food festival and combine it with the fun of a four-day cruise and you get Chefs Making Waves. This experience debuted to stellar success last year and is now gearing up for its second sailing, May 5–9, 2025.

The cruise sets sail from Miami aboard Norwegian Gem, with its sights set on Cozumel, Mexico. Along the way, guests will enjoy cooking demonstrations and curated dining and restaurant takeovers, all the while mixing and mingling with some of the most recognizable celebrity chefs in the biz, such as Scott Conant, Robert Irvine, Antonia Lofaso, Geoffrey Zakarian and Tom Colicchio.

Of course, while you’re enjoying all the educational and delicious culinary experiences, you can also enjoy all the elements and amenities you might normally during a Norwegian Cruise Line cruise. Over multiple days, you’ll have access to the ship’s pool deck, spa, casino and more. You can also book shore excursions in Cozumel such as fishing, snorkeling, diving and ruin excursions.

Cruise fares start at $1,555 per person when you book an interior stateroom or larger for a group of four cruisers.
