Overview

Dear Adventurous Food Lover:

Love to indulge in fabulous food and fine wines, then I hope you'll join me for my 5th Annual Listener's Cruise aboard the world's most delicious cruise line, Oceania Cruises. Come cruise with me as we experience the brilliance and beauty of THE BALTICS!

Our Baltic Odyssey begins on September 3rd, 2013 as we set sail for a 10 day journey starting in Copenhagen, Denmark. From the beautiful city of Copenhagen we’ll cruise to Berlin, Germany where we’ll see the site of the Berlin Wall and relish a hearty lunch of wurst, kraut and beer and sample a fresh hot pretzel and sinful pastries. Next, we’re off to Gdansk, Poland where we’ll explore the city’s deeply rooted history and indulge in pierogis and mushroom soup.

In Estonia, we’ll venture to visit what the New York Times says are “some of the best restaurants in Europe right now”, for a gastronomic awakening. We spend three days exploring St. Petersburg, from the breathtaking canals to the palaces and ballets. Borscht, Blinis and Caviar are on the menu! We’re off to Helsinki, Finland to visit the open-air market and taste herring and fresh Arctic char. And finally, we end in Stockholm, Sweden, where you can walk the Old Town and Royal Gardens along with delight in the indoor food market that has been in operation for over a century.

Exclusively for our “Chef Jamie Group”, a private cocktail reception and book signing, an exclusive Private Cooking Class in the Bon Appetit Culinary Center where I’ll teach recipes featuring the foods of the Baltics, and a food and wine pairing Seminar have been planned! All of these amenities, including our Farewell Dinner and gratuities, along with a $100 Shipboard Credit, are all included in your fare.

The anticipation and excitement is building for my next amazing cruise with Oceania Cruises. To create unforgettable memories on our Baltic Odyssey please call Food & Wine Trails to book your suite now. I hope to see you on board!

Eat Well,

Jamie Gwen
