For those who watch the Food Network, you know Geoffrey Zakarian as one of the judges who frequently helps decide who gets "Chopped." You may also know he has three restaurants on Norwegian's newest ship, Breakaway.

Norwegian Cruise Line announced that Zakarian will host a number of special activities on board Breakaway during two of the ship’s upcoming sailings: November 3 and December 1, 2013, where passengers can meet and interact with the Iron Chef in his on-board restaurant, Ocean Blue by Geoffrey Zakarian.

During those sailings Zakarian will host a meet and greet session, giving guests the chance to take a photo, and a dynamic cooking demonstration, followed by a personalized book signing of his latest cookbook. "The special event of each cruise will be the opportunity to attend an intimate dining experience where a limited number of guests will enjoy a specially-curated Ocean Blue tasting menu served by the Iron Chef himself."
