'Top Chef' to headline Holland America cruise

A recent star of Bravo's Top Chef will demonstrate his skills this summer on a Holland America cruise.

Season seven winner Kevin Sbraga will take part in the Culinary Art Center program aboard the July 17 sailing of the 1,924-passenger Noordam, the line says.

The 10-night "Roman Empire" trip begins in Civitavecchia, Italy (near Rome) and includes calls in Croatia and Greece.

Sbraga, who opened a restaurant in Philadelphia in 2011, will lead cooking demonstrations in the Noordam's show kitchen in which there will be food tastings.

Holland America says another Top Chef contestant, Angelo Sosa, will take part in the Culinary Art Center program aboard the Aug. 8 sailing of the line's 835-passenger Prinsendam. The 14-night Norway and British Isles sailing begins in Amsterdam.

Like Sbraga, Sosa was a contestant on season seven of Top Chef. He also competed on Top Chef All Stars and in 2011 opened an outlet called SmithHouse in Los Angeles.
