As we enter 2012, I want to personally invite you to experience a trip of a lifetime with me in 2012. In partnership with Crystal Cruises and French Wine Explorers, Michael and I will be hosting a group during the Romancing the Riviera Cruise July 25-August 6, 2012 on board the breathtaking Crystal Serenity. We’ll sail our way from Lisbon to Rome with stops in Lisbon, Gibraltar, Barcelona Palomos, Cannes, Monte Carlo, Florence and Rome.

Along the way we’ll have exclusive activities for our group that center on our shared love of food and wine. Crystal Cruises is now an all inclusive cruise ship which means your fare includes everything–food, wine, cabin and YES, wine and alcohol are included!! Scroll down to see all that is included because it is extensive. I am thrilled to offer this experience to you because the quality of what Crystal has to offer.

I had the pleasure of touring one of their ships (see pictures on Facebook Page) in the Manhattan port and it is spectacular. All cabins have windows and most have their own verandas–no inside cabins. It is a smaller ship so this is a cruise for select travelers like you.

Join us for this trip of a lifetime in 2012 dedicated to discovering delicious food, wine and some of the best destinations in the Mediterranean and for the events reserved exclusively for our group.
