The spotlight is on wine—and its fascinating journey from vine to table—on select Holland American ms Koningsdam itineraries throughout 2017.
On each of these special cruises, a different Chateau Ste. Michelle expert will join a Holand American vinologist for three, one-hour sessions each day at BLEND by Chateau Ste. Michelle.
They’ll also be present for a special Cellar Master’s Dinner at the Pinnacle Grill. Enhance your knowledge of wine and sail the newest ship in the fleet.
