Later today will be a private Indian cooking demonstration by Chef Rajat, but more on that later. First, we were up early for our private tour in Halifax to visit Peggy’s Cove…where the lighthouse that is on the Goldring Travel logo is located…so that we would miss the tour busses from the ships that were
Our arrival into Halifax, Nova Scotia was not until 1:00 p.m. so the morning was spent exploring the ship and then supervising the sail into Halifax Harbour (in the hot tub, of course) while spotting some whales and dolphins with a brilliant blue sky and warm temperatures. It was all so beautiful until we arrived

My question, to be honest, is “What, in real terms,is new and luxury?” This replacement for the lackluster and curious Asian-esque Lattitudes sounds physically appealing: a “rich pallete
I was reading my daily email from The American Scientist and, when I saw the two articles one right after the other, I thought of our recent Food & Wine Cruise: Scientists to Measure Effects of Earthquakes on Acropolisfrom the Chicago Tribune (Registration Required) ATHENS, Greece (Associated Press)—For thousands of years the Acropolis has withstood
Having provided some detailed information on the 2008 Food & Wine Cruise I thought I would go back in time and provide my observations, previously posted on Cruise Critic (and therefore in shorter form) regarding last year’s Food & Wine Cruise. It was fun looking pack and comparing the two. I thought I would give a
Here are a few photos from the 2008 Goldring Travel Food & Wine Cruise on the Seabourn Spirit. If you have kept up with the blog they will not need any explanation! I hope you enjoy them. Also, the Seabourn Spirit’s very own Captain Geir-Arne – my good friend – has his own website where
