2015 Goldring Travel Food & Wine Cruise

Norwegian Fjords & Arctic Circle Seabourn Quest – June 13, 2015

Goldring Travel is always looking for the next unique culinary and cultural experience that goes above and beyond while avoiding the duplication of itineraries. We have traveled through the Mediterranean, the Aegean Sea, the Bay of Biscayne, the Danube, Rhine and Main Rivers, and even the Southern Atlantic visiting such countries as Greece, France, Malta, England, Ireland, Brazil, Uruguay, Germany, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia and more.

This time we will travel to through the breathtaking Fjords of Norway and the Arctic Circle to the northernmost point of Europe. (That is a Bucket List item for many just by itself.) But there is more to the 2015 Goldring Travel Food & Wine Cruise than an event or two! I will be holding a number of Complimentary Goldring Travel Food & Wine Events on shore plus the always incredible Private Food & Wine Tasting with the Seabourn Chef. (Since Norway is not known for its wines, this is where some unique and extraordinary wines will be paired with Norwegian delicacies!)

The itinerary is both comprehensive and relaxing, so there will be plenty of time to explore, enjoy the scenery and wildlife, and just sit back with a nice glass (or two) of wine. Filled with breathtaking beauty, incredible experiences from strolling through quaint towns to fishing and crabbing to kayaking, hiking, kayaking and, of course, enjoying a wonderful slow pace in a region that has no reason to rush anything. You also will experience the true Land of the Midnight Sun.

A Viking Meal (updated to 2015, of course) including smoked reindeer and goat (as well as lobster and lamb…so those not so adventurous will be well taken care of!) which will be paired with five locally brewed Norwegian beers.
A Surprise Event!
An Ensemble Experience Shore Excursion (to be determined).
A Private Shopping with the Chef
