The 2011 Goldring Travel Food & Foliage Cruise will be a nine (9) night cruise on the Seabourn Sojourn on September 21, 2011 departing from Quebec City, Quebec sailing up the St. Lawrence River and then down the East Coast to New York City. For this cruise I wanted to combine a few things that
Seabourn has, without much grace or coordination (so you think I am not impartial?!), begun tweaking the use of the The Restaurant (main dining room) and its larger ships. It has also begun making some other small changes. I will detail these in a moment. But before I do I want to provide you with
While I am thrilled that even in this economy my business continues to grow, I am not satisfied. (Am I ever really totally satisfied?) So I have decided to aggressively seek out those who are thinking about an extended Seabourn cruise, but are just a bit hesitant to make the commitment because “maybe if I wait
Over the past weeks I have been receiving some exceptionally wonderful rave reviews from both new and past guests of The Yachts of Seabourn.

I have now had time to digest and reflect upon the Inauguration of the Seabourn Sojourn and the Maiden Voyage of the Seabourn Sojourn. So it is time to discuss things a bit. (For an overview of the ship itself, please refer to my Cruise Review of the Seabourn Odyssey located on the Goldring Travel website.
I was sorting some of my videos and photos of the Seabourn Sojourn Maiden Voyage and Inauguration this morning and thought I might give you a taste of what is to come. And a little discussion on why I am continually so impressed with Seabourn. Honestly, I was not prepared for the Inaugural Celebration to be
On Saturday evening we arrived in Reykjavik, Iceland…again…and stayed at the Radison Blu 1919 Hotel. The hotel, and most all four star hotels in Reykjavik (there are no five star hotels) are within the same small area. For a quick stay the hotel was just fine. A standard room was comfortable and everything worked (free internet
As I noted in my last post, the day was not over and Seabourn had time to wow me some more…and it did. (Trust me on this: I do not get paid to say everything is wonderful. I get really offended if anyone tells me to say everything is wonderful. I couldn’t sleep if I
