Gorge Yourself on a Seven-Night 'Chocolate Cruise'

European line MSC Cruises and Nestlé Perugina have joined forces to offer what they're calling the Chocolate Cruise -- a seven-day sailing that celebrates 100 years of Italian chocolate.

The March trip on the MSC Orchestra will feature the maestro of the School of Perugina Chocolate -- the first Italian school entirely dedicated to chocolate -- who will hold regular demonstrations on the yummy stuff's best uses (alas, the maestro speaks Italian, we're told, which could make following along a bit difficult for Americans).

Other chocolate-themed events include a “Dinner for Lovers" that features Italian Baci chocolates, and chocolate tastings with wine pairings. The line also will offer chocolate massages in the ship's spa, and turn-down service will include a Baci kiss on pillows.

If it all sounds too scrumptious to resist, and you think you might book it, you better get moving. The trip is scheduled to depart from Genoa, Italy on March 30. The ship will follow a Western Caribbean itinerary with stops in Tunis, Palma de Mallorca, Barcelona, Marseille, Naples and Palermo.

Keep in mind that MSC Cruises mostly draws Europeans (though they're increasingly marketing to Americans), so you'll have to endure announcements in multiple languages.

Prices for inside cabins on the voyage start at $849 per person, based on double occupancy. Ocean-view cabins start at $999 per person. Children under 17 cruise free when sharing a stateroom with two full-fare-paying adults.
