Crystal Cruises’ Crystal Symphony will feature South American flavors on its Feb. 7 cruise, both on and off the ship.

Sailing from Buenos Aires to Miami, Brazilian and Argentinian culinary and wine experts will spice up the Wine & Food Experiences of Discovery itinerary with tastings, demos, and specially crafted menus.

Among the guests will be Neriton Vasconcelos, owner and head chef of The Galley restaurant in São Paulo; Matias Kyriazis and Estefania di Benedetto, owners and chefs at Paraje Arevalo in Buenos Aires; Eugenio Jardim, a Brazilian native and wine expert, now the wine director at San Francisco’s Jardiniere; and the “Modern Mixologist,” Tony Abou-Ganim, who will offer onboard cocktail making sessions and tips and techniques on creating local concoctions.

Crystal’s chefs will lead hands-on instruction; guests can opt for hands-on cooking lessons at a local Brazilian restaurant.

Per-person, promotional two-for-one cruise fares for the 16-day voyage start at $5,220, double occupancy, and include $1,000-per-person shipboard credit.

Crystal’s Family Memories program offers groups and families a host of perks, including a complimentary berth for every 10 full-fare guests.

As a bonus, travelers can save $2,000 per couple off Penthouse and Verandah staterooms for bookings made by Dec. 31.
