More and more celebrity chefs have restaurants on cruise ships and chefs often sign up to be guest lecturers on cruises but now the Food Network is taking the idea a step further with a branded "Food Network at Sea" trip that starts on August 22. The first voyage, a seven-night Caribbean journey aboard the Celebrity Solstice, features "Iron Chef" Cat Cora and Aarón Sánchez who stars on "Chefs vs. City."

The cruise will include culinary demonstrations by both chefs, a Food Network VIP lounge and screening room, a dine-around featuring Food Network recipes and a battle of the Celebrity Solstice chefs competition event. Cruise guests can pre-register for cooking classes at sea, the two classes offered will be "Dumplings & Potstickers" and "Crostini & Truffles," which will be offered multiple times throughout the cruise to accommodate all Food Network Travel guests. Fares start at $1,519 per person. More details on Food Network Travel.

Great food on any holiday makes hell lot of difference. Celebrity cruise and Food Network has done a good job allowing their chefs to get a public exposure and more importantly, their food.
