2009 Wine Cruise Travel Program

In 2009, we invite you and your friends to travel with Ken & Akiko Freeman and Ed Kurtzman to one of the most influential wine regions of the world.  We’ll sail the Mediterranean, then over to Greece and Turkey aboard Oceania Cruises, a smaller 600-passenger ship rated as one of the best in the world, on a food and wine lover’s dream vacation.  This trip is really ‘two great programs for the price of one’… a deluxe cruise at a great rate with free round-trip air to Europe, PLUS and exclusive onboard and optional onshore wine experience.

The ports-of-call include Rome, Italy; Monte Carlo, Monaco; Livorno (port for Florence), Italy; Olbia, Sardinia; and Amalfi, Italy.  In Greece we call at Athens, Delos, Mykonos, Santorini and Rhodes.  Our last stop is Turkey where we stop at Kusadasi and finally Istanbul.

Club members and their friends who book their cabin by 12/15/2008 pay only $100 per person deposit PLUS as a gift will receive $100 per cabin shipboard credit and FREE prepaid gratuities - A $300 - $396 per cabin savings!
