During fine-dining meals at sea, sommeliers offer helpful tidbits about a wine’s bouquet, grape heritage and tastes. But during my recent cruise aboard Hapag-Lloyd Cruises’ luxurious, 500-passenger Europa 2, Sommelier Benno Wurster wasn’t just memorable but truly unforgettable.
Night after night, he moved from table to table within the ship’s seven dining venues. Pouring top-tier wines, he enthusiastically shared wine notes and answered guests’ questions in a down-to-earth style.
“Here he comes,” a tablemate would say.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Luxury Travel Advisor.
