Arblaster & Clarkes Wine Cruise
Afloat 2008 Wine Cruise
Every year A&C offers a small ship wine cruise. Cruising on a small craft has many advantages. You visit small harbours and stop for impromptu swims. You get to know the crew and fellow passengers and meet people from your host country in intimate gatherings rather than as victims of an invading horde. Our cruises have been likened to ¾oating houses parties.
There is a superb programme of on board tastings with a panoply of wines from the regions served with dinners on board. These include top Italian wines from Tuscany, Campania, Sicily, Puglia, Rosso Conero and Friuli, plus favourites from Croatia and Slovenia. There will also be visits to wineries ashore.

Le Ponant
Le Ponant is a 260 feet luxury, 3 masted sailingcruiser with just 32 good sized outside cabins (from 116 150 sq ft) with marble shower-rooms. Our maximum party size will be just 48 to a crew of 30. Being French owned, there is a French chef and a pastry chef preparing gourmet menus. Breakfasts and lunches are buffets and dinner is seated. There is a spacious sun deck, an open air restaurant, an interior restaurant, and a spacious salon with a bar. You can plunge directly into the Med from the swimming platform, and there are snorkels, a wind surfer and a canoe available.
