"On Swan Hellenic Diana, an elegant ship carrying just 192 guests, the setup looks standard at first glance: a silver-service dining room, an all-day buffet, complimentary room service, and a deckside bar and grill when the weather is kind. But the secret ingredient is their revolving cast of guest chefs who bring with them a rolling menu of flavours that mirror the journey itself."
"Wine set the tone. Keith Isaac, a Master of Wine, one of only 426 in the world, led two formal tastings, each paired to the ports of call. In Porto, we lingered over the Douro in liquid form: a crisp Cottas Branco 2022 followed by its richer 2020 counterpart. As we traced Spain's coast, glasses filled with Galicia, Rioja, and Ribera."
On Swan Hellenic Diana, an elegant ship carrying just 192 guests, dining options include a silver-service dining room, an all-day buffet, complimentary room service, and a deckside bar and grill. A revolving cast of guest chefs supplies a rolling menu of flavours that mirror the voyage and seasons. Sailings from Lisbon along the Atlantic coast through Spain and France feature menus and special wine tastings matched to ports of call. Two formal tastings led by Keith Isaac, Master of Wine, showcased Douro whites, regional Spanish wines, and French Pouilly-Fumé and Brouilly. A nine-bottle Castelnau champagne sequence traced vintages back to 1992.
