Hitting the ground running in 2016, I’m sailing aboard Seabourn Sojourn for 14 nights from Hong Kong to Singapore on the 3rd annual Seabourn Food And Wine Cruise .  Along the way, look for details of over 90 onboard culinary events, as they happen.  Through daily posts right here at ChrisCruises.com and a variety of engaging social ways outlined below, we hope you will follow along on our journey as you have the last two events of the same name.
