Anticipation. I remember the first moment I saw Antarctica. It was about 5:30 a.m. and I was in the Observation Lounge on the Seabourn Quest. It was a grey morning with thick fog. There were about four other people there drinking coffee. I had no idea how close we were to Antarctica. I mentioned in
On December 19, 2019 I board the Seabourn Quest for my third trip to Antarctica and Patagonia. Yes, I have the “ice bug”! For me it is the most personally enlightening and biologically magnificent place on earth…and I feel like I have but only begun to scratch its surface, in part because that is the
I knew, since this particular cruise was decided upon to be the Goldring Travel 2019 Culinary & Cultural Cruise, that we would be visiting a whisky distillery; the only question being which one. Well, since my “go to” whisky is Glenfiddich that answer came quickly to me! Our day started with a long and rainy
Edinburgh, Scotland (overnight) was the next port of call for the Goldring Travel 2019 Culinary & Cultural Cruise on the Seabourn Ovation. We were greeted with fine Scottish summer weather: Pouring rain that the wind blew sideways! In fact, the weather was so bad upon our arrival that we had to change from anchoring in
As the Goldring Travel 2019 Culinary & Cultural Cruise on the Seabourn Ovation continues sailing southward toward England, we were able to enjoy a delightful sea day…and another Goldring Travel special event: A Norwegian Cocktail Party in a Penthouse Spa Suite; which has become an annual event…OK, maybe not the Norwegian part!

Having survived my air travel and luggage issues, the Goldring Travel 2019 Culinary & Cultural Cruise is, after much planning, underway. Sunset sailing off the coast of Gothenburg, Sweden The Seabourn Ovation team was, as always, ready and waiting for me so I got right on to organizing some of the on-ship events so that
The thirteenth annual Goldring Travel Culinary & Cultural Cruise is about to commence on the Seabourn Ovation’s August 3, 2019 sailing visiting Demark, Sweden, Norway, England, Scotland, Shetland Islands and Germany. Lots of culinary and lots of culture…and lots to do! Tivoli Gardens Entrance Copenhagen, Denmark In addition to the normal extraordinary Seabourn experience, I
There are 2020 and 2021, and in some cases even 2022, World Cruises currently offered by Seabourn, Silversea, Regent Seven Seas, Crystal and Oceania as well as more contemporary lines such as Holland America. While there is still some availability on 2020 World Cruise, most of those who are going on the Full World Cruises
World Cruises have two basic reactions: For some it conjures up “The dream of a lifetime” while for others it is a “How can you stay on a ship that long?”. The reality is can be both…or neither, as one need not commit to the entire World Cruise offerings as segments of the World Cruises
