NextTrip has announced the upcoming launch of "TIDE," a new original series that will premiere exclusively on JOURNY’s streaming and Video-on-Demand (VOD) platforms. Sponsored by Sea Cloud Cruises, the series centers around chefs as they venture ashore to discover local markets, family farms, cafés, workshops, and hidden gems to gather ingredients and inspiration for onboard dining experiences.
The inaugural episode features Chef Ben Robinson, who is well-known for his role in Bravo’s Below Deck franchise and his culinary expertise demonstrated at esteemed restaurants like The Fat Duck in the UK. This episode was filmed aboard the Sea Cloud Spirit while sailing in the British Virgin Islands.
Mirell Reyes, president and CEO of Sea Cloud Cruises in North America, expressed excitement about the collaboration: “We are thrilled to join JOURNY TV on their engaging original series TIDE, which focuses on cultural exploration through the art of dining.” She mentioned that the episode showcases the luxurious experience of Sea Cloud Cruises and highlighted the potential success of this collaboration.
Chef Robinson also shared his enthusiasm, stating, “Filming the TIDE series aboard the Sea Cloud Spirit amid the stunning British Virgin Islands is a dream. Sea Cloud Cruises provides an intimate and luxurious sailing experience, making it the perfect backdrop to explore our connection to food and culture.” He added that partnering with JOURNY TV allows viewers to experience the flavors and stories of the islands from anywhere.
The series is linked to a seven-night culinary voyage as part of Sea Cloud’s Cultivated Journeys series, scheduled to sail roundtrip from St. Maarten from January 25 to February 1, 2026. This trip will include stops at St. Barth, Antigua, Virgin Gorda, Jost van Dyke, and Norman Island, and guests will enjoy live culinary showcases and exclusive tasting events with Chef Robinson.
