Aussies on SeaDream get a French roasting that they like!
An American travel company magazine has quoted the experience of an Australian couple aboard the boutique SeaDream II when it visited the small south-western French fishing town of Port Vendres, citing the reaction of locals to small ships like SeaDream compared with the arrival of mega-liners.
SeaDream II was the only ship in port on the day, and as her 100 passengers went ashore, several who stopped to watch a fisherman roasting fresh-caught sardines for his lunch were surprised when he offered to share his lunch with them.
The magazine, Costco Connection quoted the Australian couple as saying: “You’re lucky to have an experience like that once in a lifetime… to have it on the first day of our cruise was something spectacular.”
Costco Connection is the magazine of the Costco Travel corporation that has chartered SeaDream II for a 7-night sailing in the Mediterranean for 100 of its regular clients in May of this year.
