Fan favourite and Canadian Chef, restauranteur and best-selling author Lynn Crawford is partnering with Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours for “A Chef's Culinary Adventure of Delightful Douro,” in Portugal, setting sail Nov. 5, 2027. 

Crawford will be joined by Canadian Chef Lora Kirk on the sailing that builds on the success of their first collaboration with Scenic, a Belgian and Dutch cruise in 2024.

"Portugal’s Douro Valley is a magical place where culture, history, and extraordinary food seamlessly come together. We are so excited to host this ultra-luxury Scenic cruise and share our passion for local flavours, wine, and culinary storytelling with everyone on board,” say the chefs. 

Five exclusive experiences during the sailing are open to all guests, and include a welcome cocktail party; on-board cooking demonstrations with the chefs; a photo opportunity and Q&A session where both chefs will regale guests with stories from their culinary careers; and an exclusive chef-curated dinner showcasing the vibrant flavours of Portugal. 

Pricing for sailing starts at CAD $8,745 per person (double). Guests who book by November 15, 2026, can take advantage of one of two Best Available Offers: Free Airfare plus savings of up to $400 per person, or savings of up to $2,000 per person. For a limited time, guests can also enjoy an additional $350 per person in bonus savings.
