For fans of the Fox television show "MasterChef," the third sailing onboard Holland America is shaping up to be an exciting one.

MasterChef Cruise organizers Endemol Shine North America have announced the lineup of guests and detailed some of the exclusive onboard offerings available on the Eurodam.

While sailing through the Caribbean, guests will be able to immerse themselves in the culinary expertise of past winners from the cooking competition series.

All-Stars that are scheduled to appear onboard include the Masterchef Season Eight winner, who will be announced on the finale, taking place on September 20.

Shaun O'Neale, Season Seven's winner, as well as Season Six winner Claudia Sandoval, Season Four winner Luca Manfé and Season Seven All-Stars Brandi Mudd and Tanorria Askew will all be onboard, providing guests with their culinary expertise and advice.

Passengers can participate side-by-side with All-Stars in the Mystery Box Challenge, putting their culinary skills to the test.

There will also be question-and-answer sessions with All-Stars as well as hands-on demonstrations led by All-Stars who will provide culinary insights into how they are so successful in the kitchen.

The All-Stars will additionally preside as judges over a Battle of the Home Cooks that will include a baking challenge, a burger challenge and more. Guests are encouraged to bring along their own personal recipes to showcase their culinary talents to fellow guests.

Masterchef will also hold a Pressure Test with a Caribbean theme, allowing All-Stars to combine classic and exotic ingredients during a timed competition. Other activities will include culinary pop quizzes, games and relay races.

While cuisine is the focus of the cruise, Masterchef is encouraging guests to relax. Onboard credits can be used for the spa, specialty restaurants, the casino and other amenities and range between $50 and $150 per person.

The journey sets sail on November 12-19, 2017, embarking from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and sailing to Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos; San Juan, Puerto Rico; Philipsburg, St. Maarten; and Half Moon Cay.
