The captain's dinner is a special dinner on a cruise ship where the captain greets all guests personally.
description
The captain's dinner , also known as the captain's reception, is a tradition that is particularly well-known in passenger shipping and is one of the highlights of cruises . It usually begins with a reception, usually in connection with a welcome drink, and a subsequent address by the captain. Often the captain's dinner is the crowning glory of the trip. Occasionally, simulated captain's dinners are also offered as a special event in the gastronomy on land.
background
The captain's dinner is above all the culinary highlight of a cruise. It offers the employees who work in the ship's kitchen and in service on a ship the opportunity to demonstrate their skills and offer the guests a culinary highlight. The catering area on the cruise ship is comparable to that of a large hotel, depending on the price range and the way the shipping company sees itself with first-class hotels with appropriate employees. On ships that value tradition, etiquette is celebrated that has long gone out of fashion elsewhere. Captain's dinners are best known on land from the ZDF television series Das Traumschiff .
