Fourth port of call: reasons known only to insiders<\/h3>\n

Which may be crucial for\u00a0<\/span>foodies with a touch of wanderlust<\/b>! The cultural journey begins on board as you explore with your taste buds and\u00a0<\/span>discover flavours that may be inspired by the itineraries<\/b>.<\/span>
And they also overlook the fact that this spirit of openness continues once you set foot on dry land. From the ancestral traditions of the Inuit to the age-old culture of Vanuatu, the lands and customs of the four corners of the world await travellers seeking knowledge.<\/span>
And you can take the experience even further with\u00a0<\/span>themed cruises<\/b><\/a>, including classical music and opera, food and wine, art and museums, theatre and literature, photography, and golf. Cruises can be an opportunity to combine your passions with your wanderlust and discover certain aspects of culture in the atypical setting of the\u00a0<\/span>big blue sea<\/b>.
