If your ideal vacation has both hiking boots and happy hour, we need to talk. 🇫🇷✨

We have a group sailing the Seine with Avalon Waterways September 25 – October 5, 2027 — and this itinerary was made for people who want options.

Three days exploring on land first: Saint-Malo, Mont Saint-Michel, Honfleur, and Chartres. Then seven days on the river where you decide how you show up every single day. Kayak past château cliffs or sip wine while the French countryside floats by. Hike up to castle ruins or wander Monet’s gardens at your own pace. Active or leisurely — no wrong answer here.

Exclusive group perks included. Limited spots remaining.

Send me a message and let’s get you on this trip.

This is what a cooking school at sea actually looks like. 👇

Oceania Cruises' Culinary Center is the first hands-on cooking school ever built at sea — and watching it in action is something else entirely.

World-class chef instructors. A state-of-the-art kitchen on board. Classes built around the destinations you're sailing through. One day you're learning to prepare fresh pasta inspired by a morning in Rome. The next it's Alaskan seafood techniques after a day in Juneau.

This isn't a cruise ship cooking demonstration. This is a real culinary education — at sea.
The Culinary Center is available as an add-on to your Oceania voyage and is one of the most talked-about experiences on board for a reason.

We are a preferred partner with Oceania Cruises — which means our clients get exclusive fares and perks you won't find anywhere else. Right now that includes $250 onboard credit on veranda staterooms and above. New bookings only, deposited by May 31.

For the traveler who plans a trip around the food — this is your cruise line. Message us.

The food situation on Oceania Cruises is not normal. 👇

Worldwide-trained chefs. Ingredients sourced from the destinations you're sailing through. Menus that change daily. A French bistro, an authentic Italian trattoria, a classic steakhouse, an Asian fusion restaurant and more— all included, every day.

This is what The Finest Cuisine at Sea® actually means. And it's trademarked because it's earned.
