If you
like wine and cruise ships, this may interest you. SeaDream Yacht Club has
announced four niche wine voyages, including a special wine education voyage,
taking place from Sept. 20 through Nov. 8. The company’s two mega-yachts
already have a unique culinary and beverage program, which features a raw
cuisine menu and delicacies from ports of call. SeaDream most recently
introduced a new Scandinavian menu for the coming summer’s northern Europe trips
that include reindeer, moose and fish caught daily by local fishermen.
SeaDream
I and II will sail the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts on three wine voyages,
visiting harbors in Italy, Spain and Portugal’s wine countries. Each offers
experiences for beginners and veteran wine lovers with itineraries developed by
the company’s wine director, Erica Landin, a Swedish internationally recognized
wine writer. The wine education voyage takes place during a 12-day
transatlantic crossing from Lisbon to San Juan.
The other
trips are two seven-day voyages, one from Rome to Athens and the other from
Monte Carlo to Rome, and a 10-day trip from Barcelona to Lisbon. According to
the company’s website, rates start at $3,000. For more information, visit www.seadream.com
