Princess Cruises announced a new partnership with acclaimed chocolatier Norman Love. Princess Cruises, one of the world’s largest cruise liners, is introducing a new onboard chocolate experience that offers custom-crafted desserts, chocolate and wine pairings and a diverse array of chocolate bites.

Norman Love was named one of the “top 10 chocolatiers in North America.” His chocolates will be available from this fall on the new Regal Princess for her inaugural Caribbean season, and will become available on the rest of the Princess fleet throughout next year.

“Around the world there’s incredible passion for chocolate, as evidenced by ever-growing consumption and the plethora of specialty varieties,” said Jan Swartz, president of Princess Cruises.

Chocolates designed and made by Love will be offered in the ship’s main dining rooms, specialty restaurants and other facilities. Guests will be able to toast the start of their cruises with “Chocolate Love Pop” truffles by Love at the welcome reception hosted by the captain.
