A cooking lesson in Tuscany, truffle hunting with an Italian farmer, lazy lunches by the glistening Italian Lakes and a luxurious Mediterranean voyage with complimentary caviar every day aboard the five-star Seabourn Ovation are just some of the highlights of a new 2025 cruise tour package unveiled by Australian small ship cruise specialist, Cruise Traveller.
The exclusive 24-night package offers earlybird bookers a saving of A$3230 per couple plus two free nights’ accommodation for reservations made by September 30, 2024.
The exclusive cruise, tour and stay package offers two alternative departure dates – May 3 or June 2, 2025.
Cruise Traveller’s new ‘Mediterranean Indulgence’ package begins with two complimentary nights in a five-star hotel in Barcelona before guests board the plush and elegant 600-guest Seabourn Ovation for an indulgent 10-night Mediterranean cruise to Rome.
The spaciously sleek Seabourn Ovation boasts sweeping teak decks, deluxe bars and lounges, European-style cafes, fine dining restaurants, pools and jacuzzis, wellness centre and show theatre. Pampered guests also enjoy complimentary beverages and caviar onboard as well as luxury bathroom products including an exclusive signature scent created for Seabourn by Molten Brown London.
From Barcelona, the voyage aboard Seabourn Ovation heads to the Spanish, beach-studded islands of Menorca and Mallorca, the glamour of the French Riviera and Monte Carlo and the rugged beauty and cultural charms of Sardinia and Corsica.
The voyage ends in Rome where guests begin a 12-night, small-group land tour across Italy taking in the pastoral beauty and rich history of Umbria and Tuscany, with guests joining in the cooking of a traditional Italian feast while staying in a Tuscan villa nestled amongst the
region’s beautiful, rolling hills. At Alba, near Turin, a local farmer will help guests hunt for gourmet truffles. The overland tour also includes the Renaissance wonders of Florence and Pisa and the glitz and glamour of the stunning Italian Lakes before ending in Venice, ending the holiday.
