The third official "MasterChef" cruise inspired by the hit television cooking competition just got even more immersive.

Organizers Endemol Shine North America, Life Journeys and Holland America Line unveiled a handful of premium experiences guests can look forward to on the seven-day eastern Caribbean cruise this November.

Setting sail Nov. 12-19 aboard Holland America's ms Eurodam, the culinary-centric voyage will feature half a dozen MasterChef winners and All-Stars, each of which will host a premium experience where they'll showcase their signature cooking style.

The special programming includes VIP cooking demonstrations, private kitchen tours and exclusive five-course meals.

Season Six champion Claudia Sandoval will prepare her specialty authentic Mexican cuisine during the Taco Takeover while Season Seven winner Shaun O'Neale will host an elevated five-course lunch and cooking demo.

Season Four winner Luca Manfé will lead the Flavorful Frico cooking demo and kitchen tour, as well as host a five-course Italian dinner at the Pinnacle Grill.

Meanwhile, Season Seven All-Stars and fan favorites Tannoria Askew and Brandi Mudd will host a pair of southern style cooking demos and kitchen tours. The MasterChef Season Eight winner, who will be revealed during the MasterChef finale on Sept. 20, will also host a special cooking demo and kitchen tour.

Each of the private kitchen tours will be accompanied by a Holland America chef, who will help provide guests with a behind-the-scenes look at the ship's galley

Guests are encouraged to reserve their spot for one of the premium experiences well in advance, as space is limited. Events will take place at the Culinary Arts Center and Pinnacle Grill, ranging from $55 to $120 per person.
