Crystal Cruises’ 10-day Wine & Food Experiences of Discovery voyage departing Dec. 12 will feature the U.S. Ambassador of Tequila and Latin American master sommeliers and chefs. Aboard the Crystal Symphony’s Mexican Riviera voyage, the top culinary talent from Mexico will lead cooking demonstrations and special menus, wine pairing and tasting sessions, and specialty cocktail classes.

The guest experts include Yerika Munoz, executive chef at Mexico City’s Astrid y Gaston; Jeremiah Tower, a James Beard Award-winning chef and restaurateur, currently residing in Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula; Sandra Fernandez, the only Latin American woman certified by the Court of Master Sommeliers; Madeleine de Jean, the first female sommelier in the U.S.; and Julio Bermejo, the U.S. Ambassador of Tequila and proprietor of San Francisco’s Tommy’s Mexican Eatery. Ashore, Crystal Adventures offer tastes of Mexico with experiences including a traditional fiesta and clambake in Loreto and Mazatlan shrimp feast.

Guests booking a deluxe stateroom with verandah by July 31 will save an additional $500 per person.
