Suite dreams for a fortunate few
Australian travel writer and wine columnist, David Ellis, will be tour escort in July next year for a 21-day fly/cruise package for just eight couples (or couples and singles).
The tour includes seven nights aboard the world’s highest-rated boutique motor-cruiser SeaDream I from Amsterdam to Bordeaux, followed by six nights through the French wine lands on a boutique hotel barge.
Guests will have two nights in Amsterdam with a day’s tour of Zaanse Schans (the “windmill village,”) the famous Alkmaar Friday cheese market, a night in Bordeaux with a day tour of local wineries, and two nights in Epernay for a day sightseeing and tasting in the Champagne and Reims wine regions.
