Culinary Cravings Across the Seas: A Go Next Journey Through Unforgettable Bites
One of the best parts of traveling is the opportunity to indulge in the local cuisine, savoring flavors that linger in our memories long after we’ve returned home. We reached out to our team of Program Managers and travel professionals (the ones who orchestrate Go Next’s adventures) and asked them to share the dishes that have forever left a mark on their palates. Here’s what they said:
Traditional Irish Breakfast
Program Manager: Nicole, USA
There’s nothing quite like stepping ashore in Ireland as the hearty embrace of a traditional Irish breakfast welcomes you. With sausages, bacon, eggs, and the infamous black and white puddings, this breakfast is a testament to Irish hospitality and the perfect way to start exploring this charming country.

Magical Mount Vesuvius Lunch
Program Manager: Filippo, Italy
Imagine dining with the backdrop of the majestic Mount Vesuvius surrounded by sprawling vineyards and the aroma of buffalo mozzarella hanging in the air. Filippo recalls, “We once had an excursion in Naples, and there was an included lunch on the side of Mount Vesuvius at a local farm producing wine and buffalo mozzarella. We had such a delightful meal […] and a stunning view. That was a moment I will never forget!”
Witness the majesty of Mount Vesuvius in Naples.
Spicy Duck and Watermelon Salad
Program Manager: Lydia, French Polynesia
It is well-known that our travel partner, Oceania Cruises offers one of the most highly coveted dining experiences at sea. This is why it came as no shock to us when Lydia shared that her standout culinary memory came from one of the ship’s onboard restaurants, Red Ginger. The bold flavors of the spicy duck and watermelon salad create a taste revelation, skillfully merging the savory and sweet components of crispy duck, juicy watermelon, crunchy cashew nuts, and refreshing herbs, all elegantly united with a sweet fish sauce.

Authentic Pizza in Italy
Program Manager: Cheryl, Austria
When in Italy, it’s practically mandatory to savor the heavenly goodness of pizza. Authentic Italian pizzas in Amalfi and Naples, the birthplace of this iconic dish, feature a thin, crispy crust topped with fresh and flavorful ingredients.
