Celebrity Cruises unveiled more details of the two wine-themed voyages that will bookend the Mercury’s Alaska season. The ship will depart San Francisco on April 27 for a seven-night voyage to Vancouver with stops in Monterey (Calif.), Astoria (Ore.), Seattle and Victoria. On Nov. 2, Mercury casts off from Vancouver for a 10-night wine cruise to San Diego via Victoria, Seattle, Astoria and Catalina Island, with an overnight in San Francisco.
Activities on board will include talks by a California winemaker or wine expert, wine appreciation seminars, wine and cheese tastings, blending courses and culinary demonstrations.
Shoreside, excursions will include tastings and winery tours, a seafood cooking school, a wine and chocolate tour of Victoria’s Butchart Gardens and an overnight stay in Napa Valley with visits to Sterling Vineyards, The Wine Spectator Greystone Restaurant, Opus One Winery, Jarvis Winery, Rubicon Estate Winery, Robert Mondavi Winery and Domaine Chandon. Also available are a post-cruise, chauffeured culinary adventure through British Columbia’s Fraser Valley and a tour of Oregon's prominent Willamette Valley wineries, Willakenzie Estate and Ken Wright Cellars.
