All aboard! Martha Stewart launches partnership with MSC Cruises so you can cruise like a queen

You can now sail away with Martha Stewart. Well, kind of.

The lifestyle queen announced on Wednesday morning that she is partnering with MSC Cruises for specially curated and unparalleled experiences for its guests. Think Stewart-approved cuisines, shore excursions, onboard experiences and more. Aptly named "Celebrate, Discover, Experience," the new partnership between the world's largest privately owned cruise line was a fitting choice for Stewart.

“I’ve always enjoyed introducing people to new experiences, and I’m thrilled to be working with MSC Cruises on a partnership that embodies the true celebratory nature of travel, exploration and discovery,” explained the 77-year-old.

Guests aboard select MSC ships, such as the MSC Seaside and MSC Armonia, have the unique opportunity to take part in enriching culinary experiences, such as classes and food tours, as well as excursions like lessons from local fishermen and horseback riding in the ocean.

"Whether traveling as a family, couple, multi-generational group, or with friends, the amazing thing about a cruise is that there is truly something for everyone," echoed MSC spokesperson Ken Muskat to AOL Lifestyle.

He continued, "A true highlight of the cruise experience versus a land vacation is being able to immerse yourself in new cultures and explore a variety of interesting destinations in a short period of time. For instance, on our Caribbean itineraries, guests visit anywhere from 3-5 destinations during a 7-night cruise."
