On this special voyage featuring wine selections curated by Food & Wine magazine experts, experience exclusive culinary excursions and world-renowned delicacies as we explore a vast swath of the Mediterranean—from Spain and Sardinia to Corsica and Greece. Walk amid pre-historic standing stones on the isle of Menorca, savor Sicilian wine at an 18th-century castle, swim in the azure waters of Kefalonia, and discover the UNESCO World Heritage site of Delphi, the center of the ancient Greek world. Aboard the nimble National Geographic Orion, navigate places out of reach to other ships, like the narrow Corinth Canal, and enjoy insights from our onboard wine expert, who guides us through nightly tastings of wines personally selected by Food & Wine magazine’s Executive Wine Editor, Ray Isle.
