What the industry said

“HEINEKEN is excited to sponsor the inaugural F&B@Sea event; a very welcome initiative from Seatrade that perfectly spotlights the growing importance of hospitality in the guest experience. Having the opportunity to meet our cruise line partners and other suppliers in this dedicated forum will be a valuable opportunity for us all to shape, accelerate and maximize the potential in this new era of enjoyment at sea."

Heineken

"F&B@Sea will be for us a moment to showcase our category approach, our commitment to creating exceptional experiences and our expertise in supporting the hospitality industry and retail. After a stalled period of Covid F&B@Sea is a special moment for all those in food and beverage like us to come together to present their unique credentials and excitement for the opportunity at sea ahead."

"Our goal is to ensure all attendees get fully immersed, informed and educated about our entire Sazerac Portfolio while being able to sample our delicious bourbons and whiskies.  It is important to have the attendees see every aspect of our portfolio and how it can fit into each consumption occasion during every cruise ship’s passenger journey."

Bacardi Speakeasy Experience

Cruise F&B professionals immersed themselves in the world of Bacardi, as we showcased their diverse and delicious range of brands in a unique speakeasy environment.

 

F&B tasting & sampling

From bloody marys, negronis, gins, margaritas and old-fashioned lemonade to lobster tail, wagyu steak, mini crab cakes, veggie ragoon and more, F&B@Sea 2023 had it covered.

 

Happy hours, demos & brunches

From live cooking demos, welcome brunches by Aperol Spritz, bar demos by Rémy Cointreau and Webb Banks to happy hours by Pernod Ricard... F&B@Sea 2023 had it all.

 

The Heineken Sundown Soirée

Sponsored by Heineken, and with drinks provided by Campari and Webb Banks, there was no better way to close the show than raising a glass amongst friends and colleagues.
