There’s a unique way to discover the Mediterranean: through flavors.

With Grimaldi Lines, the journey isn’t just a destination, but an experience that begins on board, amidst the aromas, traditions, and dishes that tell the story of Italy.

Today, this experience has an even more special value: Italian cuisine is officially a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

This historic recognition, obtained on December 10, 2025, celebrates our lifestyle and our gastronomic culture, built on conviviality, quality, and a connection to the region.

A heritage to savor, even before arriving

UNESCO Italian cuisine isn’t just what you eat, but how you experience it: sharing, time spent together, respecting traditions.

This is the spirit you’ll also find aboard Grimaldi Lines ships, where the journey becomes a preview of the destination thanks to dishes inspired by Italian tradition, selected ingredients, and a focus on quality and seasonality.

Every crossing is an invitation to delve into the heart of Italian food and wine tourism, even before disembarking.

From Mediterranean routes to local flavors

From Sardinia to Sicily, from Spain to Greece, every Grimaldi Lines destination is a journey into food culture.

Discovering UNESCO Italian cuisine also means exploring the regional traditions, local products, and stories that make each dish unique. And doing so by sea makes the experience even more authentic, slow, and engaging.

The official logo, designed by students of the Medal School of the Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato, depicts the hand of a chef stirring together elements of Italian cuisine alongside monuments, regional symbols, and cultural figures, creating a dynamic path like the hair of an evocative comet. The slogan is “I love Italian cuisine,” with the two “o”s in the shape of a tricolor heart.
