IF YOU are a fan of wine and cruising then check out these two special sailings from Celebrity Cruises.
The cruise line has released two Australia and New Zealand Wine Lover Cruises departing in February.
The two sailings, exclusive to Celebrity Cruises, will see wine aficionados embark Celebrity Solstice for a decadent journey to renowned wine regions in Australia and New Zealand.
Guests will visit gateways to renowned wine regions, including Marlborough in New Zealand, the Barossa Valley and Tasmania’s southern wine train.
Guests will learn the art of food and wine pairing, discover wine tasting techniques, sample the ship’s cheeses paired with featured wines and visit boutique wineries with shore excursions.
Each cruise kicks off with a wine cruise orientation, where guests will meet the host and onboard sommeliers. Wine-focused experiences are then scheduled throughout the cruise, offering an array of onboard activities and shore excursions.
