The Bourbon Whiskey Cruise
Platinum Travel is proud to host our Bourbon and Whiskey Cruise, sailing to Scotland and Ireland, both destinations claiming the birthplace of the distilled spirit. Bourbon Whiskey will also be celebrated onboard, as we compare and enjoy the differences between the Kentucky spirit and its counterpart from across the “pond.” We’re delighted to welcome Mr. Tim Laird, leading us through tastings, showing us ways to entertain using spirits, and raising a glass as we sail through the islands of the U.K. and Ireland in search of new adventures! There’s no better way to do so than on the beautiful Oceania Nautica with only 684 guests, enjoying “The Finest Cuisine at Sea.”
We have a limited number of staterooms available on our voyage, so don’t miss out on this singular event, whether you’re an aficionado or novice – you’ll come away with an appreciation of spirits and fantastic memories of your time in port!
