For a while now Celebrity have been promoting their cruise excursions as hand picked and trialed by Ben Fogle. Adventurer, traveler, writer from the TV series castaway Ben has searched the globe for some of the most unique and wonderful excursions going. These are a selection of some of the trips on offer.
Ben’s Archipelago Adventure – Stockholm
A chance to kayak through the dramatic Scandinavian landscape and an energetic fast paced Rib boat, amazing:
The sea is calling on this energetic adventure that combines cultural heritage and nature. Beginning with a speedy RIB boat ride through the Stockholm archipelago, the second largest in the Baltic Sea, you’ll then stop off for refreshments at the charming island of Grindo. Then it’s off for a guided kayaking tour before returning to the pier by RIB boat.
Ben’s Norwegian Salmon snorkeling safari:
Where in the world could you do this?? Norway of course:
You’ll be kitted out in survival suit, mask and snorkel for the ultimate aqueous adventure – a Laksesafari® Salmon Safari along the picturesque Suldalslågen River. Squeeze past huge stones on the shimmering riverbed, dive into deep pools and be guided further downstream as salmon come at you from every angle.
Ben’s Sicilian Gastronomic tour:
Delight the senses with a delectable journey into Sicily’s culinary heart. From a visit to a Catania fish market to a hands-on cooking lesson hosted by gastronomy journalist Eleonora Consoli and delightful lunch, you’ll not only learn the secrets of local cuisine but also about the culture, traditions, habits and customs of Sicily.
Of course my favourite place ever, Sicily, has to have some of the most amazing excursions.
Now of course these hand picked experiences do not come cheap but they are unique and one of a kind. I certainly wouldn’t mind sampling one! How about you?
