Cruising to French Polynesia aboard Oceania Sirena

Ah, Tahiti… The name conjures images of balmy beaches, spectacular sunsets, friendly folks and long lazy days sweeping away cares of the world.

The thought of visiting Tahiti is certainly a dream scenario. Never did I think it would happen but here I am heading for that faraway island.

And I am going to visit French Polynesia in one of the best ways possible – on a 10-day cruise aboard the new Oceania Sirena. More…
Shore Excursion: Hallucinogenic fumes made Delphi famous

When goats started tripping down the hill with luminous looks in their eyes in 1400 BC, local folks began to wonder what was going on.

“Following the goats back up the hill, they saw the goats were inhaling fumes from a crack in the ground,” tour guide Penny said. “Crazy goats.”

Croatian home dinner a highlight of cruise

Twilight drifts slowly over the countryside. A shepherd guides his flock up a narrow lane. A man weeds a potato patch within a high stone wall. The day’s end serenade of nearby songbirds floats on the wind.

And a 16-year-old named Ivo waits to greet us as we disembark from our tour bus. The large vehicle can go only so far on these old byways so we follow the boy to our much-anticipated home dinner in the Croatian village of Gromaca.

“The home-hosted dinner is something we are very proud of at Grand Circle Cruise Line,” said M/V Athena program director Antun Maticevic. “The people are very warm and hard workers. They grow almost everything they serve.”

Our 32 cruise passengers are divided into smaller groups so we don’t overwhelm any one host. Located 10 miles north of Dubrovnik, Gromaca has a population of about 140. Walking through the peaceful early dusk, it seems as though we are entering a place where time has stood still.
