Vacations Via Claudia

05/31/2026

If your ideal vacation has both hiking boots and happy hour, we need to talk. 🇫🇷✨

We have a group sailing the Seine with Avalon Waterways September 25 – October 5, 2027 — and this itinerary was made for people who want options.

Three days exploring on land first: Saint-Malo, Mont Saint-Michel, Honfleur, and Chartres. Then seven days on the river where you decide how you show up every single day. Kayak past château cliffs or sip wine while the French countryside floats by. Hike up to castle ruins or wander Monet’s gardens at your own pace. Active or leisurely — no wrong answer here.

Exclusive group perks included. Limited spots remaining.

Send me a message and let’s get you on this trip.

This is what a cooking school at sea actually looks like. 👇

Oceania Cruises' Culinary Center is the first hands-on cooking school ever built at sea — and watching it in action is something else entirely.

World-class chef instructors. A state-of-the-art kitchen on board. Classes built around the destinations you're sailing through. One day you're learning to prepare fresh pasta inspired by a morning in Rome. The next it's Alaskan seafood techniques after a day in Juneau.

This isn't a cruise ship cooking demonstration. This is a real culinary education — at sea.
The Culinary Center is available as an add-on to your Oceania voyage and is one of the most talked-about experiences on board for a reason.

We are a preferred partner with Oceania Cruises — which means our clients get exclusive fares and perks you won't find anywhere else. Right now that includes $250 onboard credit on veranda staterooms and above. New bookings only, deposited by May 31.

For the traveler who plans a trip around the food — this is your cruise line. Message us.

The food situation on Oceania Cruises is not normal. 👇

Worldwide-trained chefs. Ingredients sourced from the destinations you're sailing through. Menus that change daily. A French bistro, an authentic Italian trattoria, a classic steakhouse, an Asian fusion restaurant and more— all included, every day.

This is what The Finest Cuisine at Sea® actually means. And it's trademarked because it's earned.
If you've ever planned a trip around a great meal — Oceania was built for you. Message us and let's find your sailing. 🍽️

The finest cuisine at sea® isn't a marketing line. On Oceania Cruises it's a trademark.
Here's what that actually means for you.

Every specialty restaurant on board is included in your fare. No reservation fees. No upcharges. No "that's extra." Just open seating, world-class cuisine, and a culinary program built around one of the most decorated chefs in the world — Jacques Pépin.

We're talking Michelin-trained chefs. Custom-sourced ingredients. Menus that change daily. A formal dining room, an authentic Italian trattoria, a French bistro, an Asian fusion restaurant — all included, every night.

And if you book this month through us as a preferred partner, you get an exclusive $250 onboard credit on top of all of it.

We have a new cruise partner of the month — and this one comes with perks you won't find anywhere else. 👇

Oceania Cruises is May's featured partner and what that means for you is access to fares, savings, and exclusive bonus amenities that simply aren't available when you book direct or anywhere else online.

Here's why that matters right now:
As a preferred partner, we have a relationship with Oceania that gives our clients something extra — including an exclusive $250 onboard credit when you book a Veranda stateroom or above this month. New bookings only, deposited by May 31.
But the bonus is just the beginning.

Oceania is one of the most awarded cruise lines in the world — and one of the most misunderstood. Small, luxurious ships. Adults-only sailings. The finest cuisine at sea (that's trademarked, and earned). Over 600 destinations worldwide, with more time spent in port than any other luxury line.
This isn't your average cruise. And this isn't your average booking situation.

All month we're pulling back the curtain on everything Oceania — the food, the art studio, the destinations, the ships, the experiences you didn't know were included. Stay with us.
But if you already know you're ready? Message us today. May 31 comes fast.

If Spain is on your list, Andalusia is the part that stays with you.

Titanium Intimate Journeys is running a small group Andalusia tour in 2026 — and I have access to spots on both departures. Max 10 guests. Two dates: June 1–8 and October 1–8.

Here's what 8 days looks like:
🌊 Málaga (Days 1–2)
You arrive to a panoramic city tour, the 11th-century Alcazaba fortress, and a welcome dinner of fresh fried fish right on the seafront. Day 2 is a full day in Ronda — a town literally perched on the edge of a gorge, with a bridge that stops you in your tracks.
🏛️ Granada (Days 3–4)
The Alhambra, included — one of the most breathtaking Moorish palaces in the world. That evening, tapas and drinks at two of Granada's top spots. Day 4 is the Cathedral, the Royal Chapel, the winding streets of the Albayzín, and Sacromonte — Granada's flamenco quarter carved into the hillside.
🕌 Córdoba (Day 5)
The Mezquita — a mosque-cathedral that is unlike anything else in Europe. A medieval synagogue. Lunch at Bodegas Campos, one of Córdoba's most celebrated restaurants. Then the group transfers to Seville.
💃 Seville + Jerez (Days 6–7)
A full day in Seville: the world's largest Gothic cathedral, the Giralda Tower, and a sunset boat ride on the Guadalquivir River. The final day takes you out to the white hilltop village of Arcos de la Frontera and a guided sherry tasting at Bodegas Tradición in Jerez — one of the region's finest.

Boutique hotels in Málaga and Granada. Daily breakfast. 7 guided tours + 2 exclusive dinners. Mercedes transfers. 24/7 on-the-ground support.

From $7,350 per person based on double occupancy.
June 1–8 or October 1–8, 2026.

Message me directly and I'll get you all the details. Two chances to go — spots are limited on both.
