The recently announced "Top Chef: The Cruise" on Celebrity Cruises has added four new celebrity chefs to its field of competitors. Top Chef All Stars winner Richard Blais, Top Chef Just Desserts season one winner Yigit Pura, Top Chef: Texas winner Paul Qui, and Fan Favorite winner Fabio Viviani will join hosts Tom Colicchio and Gail Simmons on this first-ever culinary voyage, which sets sail from Miami, Florida, on April 11, 2013.

Guests will be able to participate in interactive events and onboard activities, such as having the ultimate "Top Chef" experience with behind-the-scenes kitchen tours and a look at what it is like to be on the hit competition series and participate in the live "Quickfire" challenges.

DJ and Top Chef Master Hubert Keller will host an evening dance party where passengers can test the refinement of their own palates with an exclusive 'Dining in the Dark' tasting experience. The culinary cruise, Top Chef: The Cruise sails roundtrip from Miami with stops in Key West, Florida, and Cozumel, Mexico.

This cruise sounds absolutely WONDERFUL. I'm already rooting for Chef Tiffany Derry. By the way, I went to her restaurant in Dallas, TX-PRIVATE SOCIAL- and it is PHENOMENAL. If you're in the neighborhood try the Duck Fat Fried Chicken. It is DELICIOUS.
