Crystal Cruises announced that it is introducing a $1,000 per person Ultimate Vintage Room Dinner for connoisseurs which will be offered a few times each year on each ship, with different wines and a varying menu.
During Crystal Symphony's May 17, 2007 cruise from Dubai to Rome, Crystal Cruises will debut this one-of-a-kind luxury dining experience which will begin with a 1996 Cristal Rose champagne and conclude with a 1983 Château d'Yquem, Sauternes.
The first eight-course French dinner will be prepared by Master Chef André Soltner, former chef/owner of world-famous Lutèce, paired with, among others, a nearly impossible-to-get 1959 Château Lafite - Rothschild, Pauillac, Bordeaux and a Screaming Eagle 1996 from Napa Valley, considered its dream year.
Available for up to a maximum of 12 guests, the culinary event must be booked on board through the dining room maitre d'.
"We have noted an upward trend in the kinds of fine wines guests purchase to complement their dining experience," says Toni Neumeister, Crystal Cruises' vice president, food & beverage operations. "Luxury travelers treasure exceptional experiences -- but that experience has to be authentically memorable."
