Hunt for truffles in Tuscany, sample traditional vintages at a family-run winery in the Spanish hills, learn the art of paella in Barcelona and marvel at the pastel houses clinging to the cliffside on Italy’s Cinque Terre – all alongside the President of Atlas Ocean Voyages who will personally host this special Epicurean Expedition in the Mediterranean this July.

Atlas Ocean Voyages President and CEO, James A. Rodriguez, will host the special ‘President’s Cruise’ aboard the deluxe, 198-guest ship, World Navigator, which will chart a palate-pleasing course from Barcelona to Athens, with exclusive onboard events hosted by Mr Rodriguez and authentic culinary and cultural experiences ashore.

As the exclusive representative for Atlas Ocean Voyages in Australia, small ship cruise specialist, Cruise Traveller, has released a new 15-night package for the cruise including savings of A$4400 per couple and A$3235 for solo travellers for bookings made by March 31, 2025.

The ‘Catalonia to Corinth’ package begins on July 27, 2025, with a night in Barcelona, Next day, guests will board Atlas Ocean Voyages’ World Navigator, launched just three years ago, for a 12-night Epicurean Expedition voyage from Barcelona to Athens including culinary events onboard and ashore hosted by Mr Rodriguez.

Guest chefs onboard who will wow guests with their gastronomic flair include Bobby Marcotte, Peter Campbell and Mara Papatheodorou. Ashore, guests will join complimentary events such as a truffle safari in Tuscany and a tasting of vintage wines at a family winery in the hills above the pretty coastal hamlet of Roses in Spain. And guests will also be treated to a gourmet Josper Grill charcoal grill dining experience in the ship’s 7AFT Grill restaurant.
