Deciding on which activity, if any, to partake in during your day at port while on acruise vacationcan be a daunting task—but not if you put your trust inMartha Stewart.
On Wednesday,MSC Cruisesannounced their partnership with the lifestyle maven, who has curated “new, exclusive culinary and discovery experiences on board and ashore,” according to the press release. Stewart traveled with MSC to various port cities to develop shore excursion itineraries—most of which revolve around food and culinary activities—that go way beyond your standard zip-lining and parasailing trips.
“Many people are a little bit fearful of taking a cruise, they think there’s a lack of privacy or there’s so many people,” she said. “But it’s so funny because everyone who has been on one comes back liking it, so there must be a reason. Nobody’s saying they’re never going to go on a cruise again. I think it’s because it’s a good value for a fun time and an interesting time.”

Stewart noted that cruises are a particularly good vacation option for the holidays when resorts are often full and rates have skyrocketed, which is why she is creating special holiday menus on board for Easter, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
Her dishes, which are still in development and have not yet been announced, will be available in the main dining room as well as the exclusive restaurant in the MSC Yacht Club, a private area of the ship where the rooms cost extra. Diners will also go home with recipe cards for what they ate to recreate their experience when they get back home.
