There are Wine Tasting Events and there are WINE TASTING EVENTS! Introducing Gary Vaynerchuk’s Thunder Cruise, the most over-the-top, spectacular Wine Cruise ever produced.
When Gary puts together an event, he makes it memorable, and the Thunder Cruise is no exception. We start with one of the most anticipated new cruise ships in the world, the MSC Orchestra and add some great Caribbean ports like Phillipsburg, St. Maarten; St John's, Antigua; Nassau, Bahamas and Key West. Then we toss in an incredible array of special Events, Parties, Seminars and Wine Tastings all hosted by Gary to produce an experience you will never forget. Gary wishes to extend his personal invitation to join him on this memorable 7-day journey of great wines and the finer things in life!
Gary, with the help of a group of his favorite winemakers, has carefully designed the Thunder Cruise Grand Tasting for you, his special guest. Comparable to some of the largest wine super-tasting events held shore-side, this floating wine extravaganza would cost HUNDREDS, but is included in the Thunder Cruise price. But that is just the beginning, as Gary has arranged for at least 5 other wine and champagne tasting opportunities over the course of this 7-Day journey. Learn, sip, enjoy!
Cruises are known for exceptional entertainment and unique activities. The Thunder Cruise has that and more. During the day,the active crowd can enjoy a self-directed workout in the world-class Gym or join one of the many organized fitness classes that are provided daily. Take a swim, relax in the sauna or enjoy one of the many soothing massage or body treatments in the Spa.
After dinner, the MSC Orchestra comes alive with live music, dancing, Broadway and Las Vegas-style shows, comedy, casino action and other activities designed to get you involved in the cruise experience. You make the choices and stay as busy or as relaxed as you wish…after all, this is your vacation!
Cruises are the best deal in travel because you can have it all for one low price…Meals, Activities, Entertainment, Luxury Accommodations and you only have to unpack one time. Combine that with the Thunder Cruise special events, parties, wine tastings and seminars provided by your host, Gary Vaynerchuk, and the deal is even better. You can’t afford to stay home!
