Radisson Seven Seas’ third annual Spotlight on Chocolate cruise leaves December 5, 2005, from Fort Lauderdale. Chocolate experts and pastry chefs—including John Scharffenberger, one of the country’s top chocolatiers—will outline the history of chocolate (it has strong ties to the Caribbean) and, of course, demonstrate how to make delectable confections.  Whether you like your chocolate bitter or sweet, pale or dark, you'll be an expert chocolatier by the time you disembark.   

During the 7-night voyage, the Seven Seas Voyager will call at Nassau, San Juan, St. Thomas, and Grand Turk. Per person fares start at $2,248, including single voyage two-for-one savings. The price also includes fine wine with dinner, all shipboard gratuities, an in-stateroom suite bar set-up and all soft beverages. Low-cost air add-ons are available from 86 North American gateways.  

And in case you haven’t heard, Radisson Seven Seas Cruises was voted the “Best Large Cruise Line” by readers of Departures magazine in 2004. 

Radisson Seven Seas cruises has four other itineraries this November and December featuring two-for-one savings, from a five-night cruise in the tropics to an eight-night transatlantic crossing.
