Celebrity Reflection

 Time for Celebrity Cruises’ Transatlantic Journey. Autumn is almost over!

In the cruise line industry, this means it’s time to reposition the fleet! Once mid-November hits, cruise ships quite simply head for warmer waters in the southern hemisphere.

Why? Because while the northern hemisphere is entering winter, those south of the equator is gliding into summer.

Therefore, South America, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Southeast Asia, the Indian Ocean, and even the Caribbean Sea become the cruise industry’s winter itinerary.

I am pleased to announce that I will be heading back out to sea on-board Celebrity Cruises’ ship the “Reflection” as guest chef for her majestic transatlantic crossing from beautiful Barcelona, Spain to magnificent Miami.

The exotic ports of call that will be visited once we set sail from Barcelona are: Palma de Mallorca, Malaga, and Tenerife – Canary Islands. Yes, food will be the center of attention!

The Reflection is one of five ships that belong to the company’s Solstice Class, described as “floating worlds of aesthetic and experiential perfection, where every detail is attended to and every guest is pampered.”

This ship holds just over three thousand passengers and is 126,000 tons- an absolutely beautiful and new ship whose “Inaugural Date” was Oct 12, 2012.

This “Special Voyage” will be completely documented on my Facebook and Twitter pages, highlighting the movement of the trip with recipes, photos and video all along the way.

Also, traveling with me will be the talented photographer David Verdini. He brings with him a great amount of experience, which will play a major role in making this trip exceptionally interesting to follow.

Super exciting? You bet!

If you haven’t joined my pages yet, here is your chance to “Catch The Wave” before it rolls out to sea on November 14th!

La Boqueria is the city’s gastronomic pride and joy which is also Europe’s largest food market under one roof.

This will be a very special cruise and extremely educational, too! Follow along so we can all share this fantastic voyage together!
