Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours is bringing back chef Bryan Voltaggio for a new culinary-themed voyage.
The cruise, offered as part of the line’s "Tastes of Discovery" series, departs July 15, 2025, aboard the Scenic Eclipse. Travelers will spend 11 days exploring Iceland on the "Circumnavigating Iceland & Crossing the Arctic Circle" itinerary.
This is Voltaggio’s fourth collaboration with Scenic. He is a James Beard award finalist and has been a contestant on Bravo’s “Top Chef.” He’s also a restaurateur and owns Voltaggio Brothers Steakhouse and VOLT in Maryland.
For this voyage, he will team up with chef Tom Goetter, who is also a “Top Chef” alum.
"It's always a thrill to return to Scenic and share my passion for cooking with guests who truly appreciate the art of fine dining,” says Voltaggio. “Teaming up with my fellow 'Top Chef' alum, Chef Tom Goetter, makes this experience even more special. We share a deep commitment to pushing culinary boundaries and delivering unforgettable dining experiences."
"This voyage is a unique opportunity for us to showcase our creativity in an environment that feels like home—where every meal is an adventure, and every dish tells a story," Voltaggio continued.
Throughout the cruise, guests will be able to participate in exclusive activities and experiences, such as a live cooking demonstration and a Q&A session.
“Chef Voltaggio’s previous sailings with Scenic were met with overwhelming enthusiasm, and we are thrilled to welcome him back for this extraordinary Arctic adventure,” says Ken Muskat, managing director of Scenic Group. “His ability to interact with our guests and share his enthusiasm for bringing innovative and memorable culinary experiences to the destinations we visit perfectly aligns with our commitment to offering our guests unique and luxurious experiences. We are confident that this upcoming voyage will be yet another unforgettable journey for our guests.”
