Host Lynn Elmhirst tastes and sips her way through 4 countries sailing aboard the Viking Sygyn along one of the main maritime transportation routes in Europe. She learns how to make Switzerland's famous cheese fondue, meets a female winemaker in France's Alsace region, visits the 'Cathedral of Wine' at the oldest Riesling winery in the world, where there's a tasting by candlelight! On board the river cruise ship, she learns how to make 'spirited' local Rudesheim coffee, toasts an Oktoberfest dinner and wonders at the sight of over 30 castles along the riverbanks of the 'Romantic Rhine.'
Host Lynn Elmhirst learns that the so-called 'White Continent' is actually rich with color, textures, sounds and tastes while sailing aboard the Scenic Eclipse. She boards zodiacs to colonies of seals and penguins, thriving in the icy desert climate, walks off the ship onto 'fast ice,' kayaks among vivid blue icebergs, flies high above glaciers in one of the ship's two helicopters, and boards the ship's submarine to see wildlife under Antarctic Ocean waves. On the bridge with the ship's captain, she also learns about navigation in icy waters.
Host Lynn Elmhirst sails on British cruise line Cunard's flagship Queen Mary 2 on the legendary route between New York and Southampton, England, following in the wake of celebrities, royalty and VIP's in the golden era of ocean liners. It's an entire week at sea with no ports of call, instead immersed in quintessential British lifestyle: ship-wide afternoon tea, pub lunches, Royal Mail, the biggest library and planetarium at sea, and gala evenings. She visits with the kennel master and some four-legged passengers in the only kennels at sea! In London, Lynn drops into the only studio in the world still hand-making globes.
