Love by Britto, a unique high-end specialty restaurant aboard Sun Princess, is the result of a groundbreaking collaboration between art icon Romero Britto and culinary master Rudi Sodamin. This exclusive partnership promises a cruise dining experience like no other.
As the Head of Culinary Arts at Princess Cruises, Sodamin believes that Britto’s art of love complements his culinary passion. This results in a cherished dining event that leaves cruise passengers with lasting vacation memories.
I recently interviewed Sodamin about his culinary goals with Princess Cruises. He told me that exceptional food and beverages are a top priority for travellers today. So, I am not surprised to learn about his expanding dining choices on the Sun Princess.
