Guests touring Europe with Crystal Cruises this summer are in for a culinary treat. Award-winning Napa Valley vintners Bo and Heidi Barrett and multiple Michelin star-winning Master Chef Nobu Matsuhisa are each hosting one of Crystal Cruises’ 2013 Ultimate Vintage Room Dinners.
Seatings are limited to 12 to 14 guests per event (at $1,000 per guest), creating an intimate atmosphere to savor the exclusive seven-course menu with ultra-rare wine-pairings. The unique opportunity is available to guests sailing a Mediterranean itinerary aboard Crystal Serenity (starting May 18) or a Black Sea itinerary aboard Crystal Symphony (departing July 13).
“The Ultimate Vintage Room dinners allow us to push the culinary envelope over the top, with each event truly a once-in-a-lifetime affair created just for Crystal guests,” says Toni Neumeister, Crystal Cruises vice president, food and beverage operations.

Nov 18, 2025For Peripatetic Professionals, the Whole Planet Becomes One Big Office Space
It’s about 1 p.m. Central European Time on a Thursday, and I'm riding on a boat off the coast of Gothenburg, Sweden’s second-largest city, scouting for seals basking in the sun on the rocky outcroppings that dot the sea. Thanks to my captain, who lived all his life on one of the islands of the Gothenburg archipelago, we find them quickly, delighted to watch them move, play and hop in and out of the water. By 4 p.m. I am back at my virtual office, ready to start my business day just as most of my North American clients are coming online.

In the late Middle Ages, Gdańsk became an important harbor and was part of the Teutonic State (1308–1457). Heavily impacted by World War II, today the city thrives as an important economic and cultural center ... although, unfortunately, it’s often overlooked by North American leisure tourists.
