Finding the recipe for a perfect holiday can be difficult, especially when it comes to a gourmet getaway. Culinary connoisseurs might not automatically think that a cruise could serve up everything they're looking for but what better way to try multiple cuisines than hopping easily between different destinations and sample what they have to offer? So, whatever cuisine makes your tastebuds tingle, Cruise Nation can dish up the perfect cruise for you. 

From all-American burgers and ribs to authentic sushi or mouth-watering desserts, the experts at Cruise Nation reveal their five favourite foodie destinations:
