  • Health, Wellness and Wine

    Themed cruises are an integration of lifestyle, hobbies or special interests and cruising. The list of themes is endless and includes health and fitness, every genre of music, games, tournaments, ballroom dancing, singles, and food & wine – the latter of which I had a chance to experience like never before during my “Zinners in Paradise” themed cruise.
    “Zinners in Paradise” remains one of my all-time favorite cruises. As a long-time wine enthusiast, I was delighted with anticipation to set sail aboard the Paul Gauguin to indulge in the integration of robust red zinfandels and the tropical islands of Tahiti. This was heaven on earth for any wine loving beach bum!

  • Theme Cruising

    Theme cruising is a way to bring together people who share common interests, hobbies and passions, and combine it with the cruise experience. A theme cruise is an excellent way to meet others who share your interests and passion on a particular subject. Most groups dine together at dinner time, so you’ll have a chance to really get to know others in the group.
    What is a Theme Cruise?
    Theme cruises can take many forms, but are usually a “regular” cruise with enhanced or additional programming onboard. This programming can run the gamut from seminars, to classroom style sessions, to hands-on learning sessions, to concerts or dance themes – the possibilities are endless. Themed programming typically takes place on board the ship, but sometimes the events will take place in port to coincide with an event taking place there. Examples of that might be the Grand Prix in Monte Carlo, the Chelsea Flower show, or Jazz in the Norwegian Fjords.

  • Norwegian Sun Shines Brighter With Recent Ship Renovations

The Freestyle Cruising ship received enhancements to its public areas, suites and restaurants.

Guests can sample a variety of skewered meats presented by tableside passadors, as well as a salad bar. Additional updates and enhancements were made to some of the back-of-house areas of the ship to increase efficiencies.

  • Celebrity Infinity to Present Engaging 'Qsine' Specialty Venue

    The rules say you shouldn’t play with your food. But it’s quite the contrary in “Qsine,” the novel restaurant introduced on Celebrity Cruises’ stylish Celebrity Eclipse last year. The award-winning venue – the first at sea to present its menu and wine list on an iPadTM – has met with such phenomenal response that Celebrity plans to add it to Celebrity Infinity during the ship’s revitalization, designed to complement the already award-winning Millennium Class ships’ style and design with some of the most popular venues on the line’s widely heralded Solstice Class ships.
