Oceania Cruises “Signature Sailing” with Chef Jacques Pépin

This is the cruise I have been waiting for. Oceania Cruises has confirmed the date for the 2013 “Signature Sailing” with Master Chef Jacques Pépin.

I had a co-worker who had the good fortune of sailing with Chef Pépin a few years ago. After seeing his photos and learning about how he got to shop with the chef, I have wanted the same experience.  Did I mention that this friend is not even a foodie? In fact, he just so happened to be on the cruise because of the itinerary: some people get all the luck.
