Where Does Judi Sail to?
Judi’s culinary adventure begins in Kotor, Montenegro, before heading to the Greek destinations of Corfu, Parga, Kerkira, Kefalonia and Itea.
At the start of the episode, Judi will also give a tour of the yacht, including her suite, showcasing the opulent amenities that Emerald Azzurra has to offer. As the series continues, Judi will visit local eateries and businesses, enjoy city tours, and take part in other activities before heading back to the yacht to cook up a Mediterranean feast for her fellow cruise passengers.
Corfu, Parga, Kerkira, Kefalonia and Itea
A smaller vessel with a capacity of just 100 guests, Emerald Azzurra is the perfect yacht to sail around the Mediterranean on, ensuring that Judi disembarks in the heart of each destination ready to explore and discover the beauty of each port of call.
Judi had the following to say about the exciting new travel series:
“I am so excited to be setting sail on this new adventure with ITV. Growing up within a Jamaican family, food was always at the heart of any function and occasion. So I’m truly excited to experience the culture, people and food of the beautiful Mediterranean.”
“I’m looking forward to exploring all of the destinations as food has such a way of telling a story for many, especially in the Mediterranean where it’s about sharing love, traditions and identity. I have always loved watching loved ones cook and I truly love serving up a hearty plate of food for my family and friends. So I’m thrilled to be able to embrace this with ITV and the audience at home… I can’t wait to get started.”
Emerald Cruises’ Managing Director, Nichola Absalom, also commented the following about the show:
“We are thrilled to host Judi Love on board Emerald Azzurra to discover the spectacular local cuisine and sail to some of the region’s smaller ports on our 100-passenger yacht. This industry-leading luxury yacht – complete with a suite of watersport toys, Marina Platform for swim stops and Wellness Deck – is the ideal base from which to showcase this beautiful part of the world, and create some mouth-watering local dishes.”
