A champagne reception on deck marks the beginning of a remarkable voyage. Savour a slower pace of life as you spread out on deck or in the luxurious interiors. Then head ashore to discover the art of truffle hunting or the secrets of the Grands Crus vineyards.

Accompany your chef to the market and pick out fresh produce for the evening’s feast. Onboard and off, every need is taken care of––just sit back, and let your senses set sail.
