TRIP NOTES CRUISE SPECIAL
In the latest episode of Travel podcast Trip Notes, we’re celebrating all things cruising. October is Cruise Month, the beginning of the busy summer season when ships of all shapes and sizes make their way to ports around New Zealand.
And our latest guest, Judith Tabron, is the perfect person to talk cruising with . . . she’s been on eight cruise holidays and absolutely loves travelling at sea.
“My husband and I, if we are going to Europe, we’ll usually break up the holiday into some city breaks, because I like to do some shopping and — my favourite — some restaurant research, and then we would normally go hiking . . . and then, before we go home, we do a cruise to relax,” she says.
“We like a smaller boat, because it gets you closer to the ports, and you can get into ports you won’t get into in some of those massive cruise ships.”
Tabron, who is an Auckland hospitality legend after 20 years at the helm of Viaduct restaurant Soul, tells us about her favourite ports of call, her favourite luxury ships, and what she really thinks of the food on cruises.
