French Country Waterways The 12 of us gathered for a sumptuous four-course gourmet dinner, each dish seasoned, served and savored with elan. The artistically folded napkins were rivaled only by the several glasses at each setting aligned to designer specification.

"360: An Extraordinary Experience" is dining immersion making one feel like you’re sitting in the Greek countryside with olive trees or smelling the fragrance of lavender in the south of France. Thanks to Princess Cruises, I savored this time with fellow bloggers. I immediately became captivated with the experience when I heard beautiful music played by two violinists and…
Read more…Virtual-Piano Our planet's vast, remote, southernmost continent - larger than Europe - is a much-coveted "final frontier" for many travelers.

I do wish to write about this epic seafaring adventure right around South America, with a potential land program to Machu Picchu. I do need a commission in order to organise a trip to Machu Picchu. Can you recommend any newspapers and magazines which might like a feature? on this trip or any of my forthcoming cruising adventures around Brazil, Argentina, Falkland islands, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, Guatemala - with many excursions to see wildlife, glacier and penguins. I shall be following in the footsteps of Darwin who described Cape Horn as the "uttermost place on earth".
A brand new chic, sleek ship, Silver Spirit is launched this week setting off on her maiden voyage from Italy, to Spain and then over the Atlantic to Fort Lauderdale. I shall go on board Silver Spirit on 20th January for the Grand Inaugural Voyage - a 10 week cruise around South and Central America. I shall keep you all informed in regular post card -diary blogs.
Please add Silversea Cruises to the list of Cruise lines.
thank you, Vivien
I think you have the wrong link included. It goes to a list of three "deals" in the Caribbean in January. Would love to read the article you reference.
