CRUISE HIGHLIGHTS

Lisbon, Portugal

Alongside the magnificent climate, Lisbon combines a wealth of history with a vibrant contemporary culture. The futuristic Parque des Nações is a must-see, and sampling traditional food such as bacalhau, the national dish of Portugal, and pastel de nata, the famously delicious custard tart, is an experience in itself.

Casablanca - for Marrakesh, Morocco

Enjoy an optional tour of Marrakesh; a maze of bustling alleys filled with souks selling textiles, pottery and jewellery. Explore mosques, palaces and gardens and take in a cultural experience like no other.

Arrecife, Lanzarote, Spain

With its saltwater lagoons, sun-kissed rooftops and sandy beaches, the capital of Lanzarote is a charming delight and a shopper’s haven. From designer boutiques to brilliant bargains, you won’t walk away empty handed!

Ian and Teresa Ferguson

Bridge Hosts

Ian and Teresa Ferguson are both experienced Bridge Instructors and have run their own Bridge School. Ian started playing at the age of 12 and went on to be Captain of Bridge at Oxford University where he was studying Politics alongside a youthful Bill Clinton. Ian and Teresa met at a Bridge Club, got married soon after and went on to win their first major tournament on return from honeymoon. Since then they have represented five counties and have many trophies to their credit, competing against well-known internationals and celebrities, including a very dashing young film star called Omar Sharif. As well as competing at National level, Ian has had experience of organising and acting as Tournament Director at Bridge Congresses in the UK and New Zealand. Before taking early retirement in 2005, Ian had 25 years in General Management with different divisions of GEC plc, including six years running Group subsidiaries in Singapore and New Zealand. On returning to the UK, he was appointed Managing Director of Avery Service Ltd, then headhunted by the multi-national power and transport giant, Alstom SA, ending his career as Vice President within the Rail Division. Teresa was Personal Assistant to the CEOs of several organisations in the public and private sectors. After obtaining a teaching qualification, she taught commercial subjects in UK secondary schools, then Economics in New Zealand where they lived for three years. On returning to the UK, she gained a degree in Management and Business Studies before continuing her career in the private sector. When not at sea, their time at home in Warwickshire mainly revolves around grandson, golf and gardening.
