We're off on another adventure...hosting from Venice to Athens...



Seabourn SPIRIT – Oct 15-27, 2013
Venice to Athens

We’re off on another adventure!  I’ve had a Seabourn cruise in my sight for a long time and Ensemble had a last-minute cancellation of their hosts.  Our flights worked out so we are here!  Or almost here…

I’m in Dusseldorf and Gene is still flying across the Atlantic.
We meet in Venice tonight and board the ship tomorrow.

Lots of small ports and names we can’t even pronounce!  Will be wonderful to actually cruise through the Corinth Canal!

The SPIRIT is a smaller ships with only 200+ passengers.  We have stateroom 103, an ocean view suite at 277 sq. feet!

We have ten in our group and our Ensemble cocktail party is set for Friday night.  Am sure it will be fun to meet everyone and share this incredible itinerary and ship.
