Without a doubt, some of the best dining you will ever experience on a cruise ship is on Crystal Cruises. This luxury cruise line offers several incredible restaurants, all included with your fare. From Italian dishes at Osteria d'Ovidio, to European pastries and coffee at The Bistro, to globally inspired fare at Taste's Kitchen & Bar; there are elevated options at every turn onboard a Crystal ship.


One of the most elevated, and most popular dining experience on a Crystal cruise is Umi Uma by Nobu. The luxurious Japanese restaurant that skyrocketed to fame in the US, and has 56 restaurants worldwide, now can be enjoyed while floating on the ocean after Master Chef Nobuyuki (Nobu) Matsuhisa partnered with Crystal to create Umi Uma.
