Adam Price's much-delayed 50th birthday present from big brother James becomes a stunning reality when an 11-day Mediterranean cruise begins. The overwhelming ship with 5,500 people on board docks in the port city of Civitavecchia not far from Rome and already on day two drops anchor at the fantastic Greek volcanic island of Santorini. Here the Price brothers prepare delicious vegetarian dishes in the town of Oia and end the day back on the ship with a true cruise classic: "Chicken Tenders".

James and Adam Price quickly adjust to life as passengers on a cruise ship in the Mediterranean. After a day at sea, the big ship docks in Piraeus - the gateway to Greece's capital Athens, where the brothers cook traditional "Souvlaki" at Buller's new grill in front of the Acropolis. Back on deck on the ship's 17th floor, the Price brothers make both Greek "Dolmades" and the French favorite "Sole Normande".

Although Adam still hasn't succeeded in being upgraded to a larger cabin, the Price brothers have settled in really well on the huge cruise ship in the Mediterranean. The "Captains Dinner" is for many the absolute highlight of a cruise and James and Adam will not disappoint. They therefore make "Crab Cocktail" for the cruise ship's Swedish captain Andreas Karlström and "Spanakopita" - Greek spinach pie for several overjoyed fellow passengers.

James and Adam Price have reached cruise day no. 6 on their Mediterranean cruise and the excitement cannot be hidden when the ship docks in the EU's smallest member state, Malta. The first course is an inviting fish soup in the idyllic fishing village of Marsaxlokk and the second is rabbit stew at Sister Maria's in an old monastery in Mdina, where prayers are offered every day for the Italian football club "Inter". The day ends with an international classic that tastes nothing less than heavenly: "Steak Diane".

James and Adam Price have in every way settled in on the huge cruise ship which has offered many great experiences....well, apart from an upgrade for Adam who still lives in a very small cabin with no windows. The ship has docked in the Italian coastal city of Naples, not far from Pompeii, where the brothers have been exceptionally allowed to make Italian meatballs in the particularly impressive ruins. Back on the ship, chocolate cake from Capri is baked and produced probably one of the most widespread.....and fantastic hotel/cruiseline specials: "The Club Sandwich".

We are nearing the end of the great Mediterranean cruise and the ship has docked in Livorno on the Italian west coast. Tuscany is and will be wonderful, and the mood reaches great heights when James and Adam Price find their first very own truffle in a secret forest on the outskirts of the beautiful town of San Miniato in the heart of Tuscany. The dishes hardly get any better and are naturally marked by the fantastic find: "Scrambled eggs with grated truffles" and "Linguine with taleggio and white truffle". Back on the impressive ship, the feast continues when the Price brothers produce the ship's most exclusive dish: "Lobster Thermidor".
