2024 Adriatic Cruise

My 2024 holiday is, surprise, another cruise, this time it will be my first time in the Mediterranean and the Adriatic Sea. Other firsts will be my first trips to Italy, Greece, Croatia and Montenegro. I booked this back to back cruise whilst on my Asian Odyssey. My first port of call will be Venice, Italy.

Getting to Venice

Taking the “hard” way to get to Venice, flying on Emirates via Dubai. I got lucky and was able to book the flights on points. Emirates have always looked after me before so looking forward to a positive start to the trip.

2023 Azamara Quest French Chef’s Table

The last table to be presented as a part of this cruise was the French Chef’s Table and it was paired with French wines, so should be interesting.

2023 Azamara Quest Italian Chef’s Table

One of the nights I have been looking forward to is the Chef’s Table, the first one on this cruise was the Italian Chef’s Table. Who doesn’t enjoy and Italian dégustation dinner. Tonight’s menu was paired with Italian wines so more fun.

2023 Azamara Quest Asian Chef’s Table

One of the experiences offered on Azamara Cruises is their Chef’s Table. Fairly simple the ship’s Executive Chef and his team cook dégustation dinners that focuses on a specific cuisine, tonight’s was the Asian Chef’s Table. The menu is paired with wines so you get a full gastronomic experience.

The Chef’s Tables are not included in your fare so there is a top up needed, though this is pretty reasonable considering the quality of the food.

Day 16 Ho Chi Minh City

We departed Ho Chi Minh City at 12pm reversing our trek down the snake like Mekong River back to the South China Sea. This time the 50nm (90kms) would be in daylight so the view from my cabin’s balcony will be great.

Before we left though we got to watch the locals do some drill practice on the wharf.
