Madrid, February 28, 2019 - Pullmantur Cruises - the only cruise line on the market that brings the Spanish lifestyle to the way of traveling on a cruise - takes another step in its culinary proposal with the launch of Gastrolab, an innovative gastronomic platform led by the three Michelin-starred chef, Jordi Cruz.
Cruz won't be alone; he'll work hand in hand with the company's chefs —who will contribute their experience and passion—as well as with a series of guest chefs —the best in their respective culinary disciplines—with the goal of designing an offering that delivers excellence on board. Indeed, Gastrolab's motto is "we make good extraordinary."
According to Richard J. Vogel , President & CEO of Pullmantur Cruises , Spaniards “love gastronomy; the diversity of cuisine and fine dining are experiences they enjoy with all five senses.” For this reason, and in line with their tastes, gastronomy is “one of the pillars of our offering: we want them to be able to experience it with the intensity they choose,” he explains.
Thus, on board “we have a magnificent offering, but we must continue to evolve in order to seek excellence, the goal we have set for ourselves,” says Vogel, who also adds: “there is no better way to do it than by forming a team that combines the knowledge of our chefs with the talent of the best professionals of the moment,” concludes Vogel.
For his part, Jordi Cruz acknowledges that he is "delighted to take on this great gastronomic challenge proposed by Pullmantur" and adds: "we are going to put all the creativity and passion necessary to bring this project to fruition."
Gastrolab's first task will be to redefine the gala dinner menu that will be enjoyed on board this summer season, and subsequently reinvent the buffet and introduce new dishes to win over the palates of Pullmantur Cruises passengers.
