Earlier this year, Princess unveiled the exclusive Caymus
Vineyards Winemaker Dinner. Available across the fleet for
$140 per person, the new Winemaker
Dinner leverages the expansive expertise of Chuck Wagner, owner and winemaker of the
renowned Napa Valley's Caymus
Vineyards, to deliver a five-course menu crafted to complement the
tasting notes of his wines. The dinner, available for 12
guests per seating, will be offered up to three times per cruise,
based on voyage length, and interested guests can reserve their
spot once on board.
Furthermore, the cruise line was recently distinguished by
Wine Spectator with 15 Awards of Excellence for its wine
lists that pair well with the menu, offering a well-rounded
culinary experience. The main dining rooms across the fleet of 15
cruise ships were among select restaurants for well-curated wine
lists.
