I honestly believe that words cannot convey how much I personally enjoyed every aspect of this trip! From the staff, to the crew to those sharing this brief time together… It WAS magnificent.

The Welcome Dinner and Farewell Dinner were exceptional. The location of both was very special, and fitting the theme of the tour. Sharing plates at Lafayette was especially memorable. Tour of the Library with the Director, who was a scholar, was a highlight. He showed us original documents and books and was very knowledgable. 

From the first moment to the last… a fabulous trip! The Criterion staff were fabulous, and as always, John Meffert was a superstar. The Sea Cloud never ceases to delight us! We adored our cabin. Captain and crew were wonderful. Meals delish. Itinerary tons of fun and we learned a lot!
