On a week-long cruise to the Norwegian fjords on Iona, guests savoured some once-in-a-lifetime experiences: cooking demos, talks, book signings and more from one of the world’s most legendary chefs, Marco Pierre White.

"Marco’s such an inspiration. He’s so approachable and honest about his life and travel experiences. He’s very present throughout the week and always open to a chat. And the dinner was delicious.” 

Emily and Tony Giffard

 

“The Q&A with Marco was really good. He’s achieved so much but he was so honest about his career and his experiences in the business and how he feels now. We asked questions and he gave us really personal answers. And it was funny. The whole thing worked really well.” 

Emily and Tony Giffard

“I’m a chef myself. Forty years in the game, so I’ve been to see both of Marco’s Q&A sessions – they were packed both times – and having books signed by Marco makes it more personal.”

Andrew Melville

 

“I’ll be taking home some of Marco’s cooking techniques from today’s demo. It’s commonsense, practical advice. I’ve learnt lots of little tips that made me think, ‘Why haven’t I ever thought of doing that before?’ I’ve been to some of the other Marco events – they’ve been very, very good. For people like me, it really adds value to the holiday. He seems such a nice guy… It’s been a real bonus for me and a real holiday highlight.”
