Sensational Destination of Fort Lauderdale, Florida announces today their partnership with present and former Food Network ™ celebrities; Warren Brown, Ellie Krieger, Gale Gand, Colette Peters and Rob Sobkowski.

The company is producing two seven night cruises celebrating everything chocolate. The first one departs from Fort Lauderdale, Florida on January 5th, 2008 on the Costa Mediterranea followed by a January 20th, 2008 departure on the Carnival Pride sailing from Los Angeles, California.

These events will be raising money for various children's charities and in addition, a number of cabins are being earmarked for families who would normally be unable to enjoy this experience.

Sensational Destination CEO Lee Epstein says: "Anybody can take a cruise today, but there is only a limited amount of space available for the January 2008 Celebrity Chef Chocoholic Cruises.

From the moment you walk the red carpet to board the ship to the second you disembark; you, your family and your friends can be treated as true celebrities and spend a week hobnobbing with celebrity chefs who are or have been on TV's immensely popular Food Network."
