July 16 – Scotch Experience I – Scotch is uniquely enjoyed with its flavours brought forth using the natural resources of the Scottish countryside. From the Islands to the Highlands, Islay to Campbeltown, there are so many to discover! Cruise and taste the expression of region of some of our most exceptional bottles that our sommeliers have been saving to share on board!

They boast diverse and innovative wine regions and are known for signature varietals like Shiraz, Sauvignon Blanc, Malbec, and Pinotage, alongside traditional international grapes.  Tonight’s selection is sure to entice you to look further south.

 July 30 – French Wines – Known for their rich winemaking traditions and diverse grape varieties, France is the heart of “old world” wines.  Join us as we showcase subtle, complex flavors with higher acidity, and earthier notes, often mirroring the terroir of the various grape producing regions.
