Crystal Symphony Food and Wine Theme Cruise - Barcelona to Dover

The Crystal Symphony is a marvelous luxury ship, with excellent cuisine and service. I cruised on the Crystal Symphony from Barcelona through the Straits of Gibraltar to Dover on a food and wine theme cruise that highlighted Mediterranean cuisine, sherry in southern Spain and the wines of Bordeaux.

The ports of call were Cannes, Gibraltar, Cadiz, Lisbon, and Bordeaux -- all fascinating places to learn about different wines and cuisine (and a little history!)
