We are pleased to present a unique new series of culinary tours in collaboration with TourdeForks. Our co-branded Ensemble Inspired Journeys series are designed to embody the “farm to fork” experience. You will be introduced to food at its source, in colorful markets and artisanal factories. And oh the dining! Michelin starred restaurants and hidden gems, all hand selected. These Ensemble Inspired Journeys will inter-twine the land, the food, the culture – and the people. And they will provide a whole new array of experiences for the most sophisticated travelers.

Paula Deen and Family are setting sail for an exciting and delectable winter-busting cruise. And we’ve got lots of surprises in store! Everything from a cooking critique to private parties (including a barbecue and the first ever Deen Beach Olympics on Half Moon Cay, Holland America’s very own private island paradise) … from games to photo sessions and optional hosted excursions. Paula will be joined by husband Michael and other members of her family. Come share their enthusiasm for great cuisine, good living and good fun. Holland America’s ms Nieuw Amsterdam is the perfect ship for this culinary adventure. It’s spanking new (inaugural voyage – July 2010), bright and spacious, beautifully decorated, and has fabulous entertainment and multiple dining options.
