From Sea to Tee continued...

If the open ocean makes you queasy, consider a Deilmann
cruise up the
Rhine,
Rhone, Seine, Danube or Elbe rivers in one its
100-passenger, luxuriously cozy
boats with one
crewmember for
every 2.5
passengers.
One
operator,
Kalos Golf, is
devoted entirely to the swinging set.
Its 11-day Riviera cruise sets
sail along
the
legendary coast
from France to Italy—and we do mean
sail. The
Sea Cloud, the
largest private sailing ship ever built, has a
fascinating
history. After making
his money the
old-fashioned
way—earning
it, of course—E.F. Hutton built the
360-foot, four-masted
barque for his bride, cereal
heiress Marjorie Merriweather
Post, in
1931. Guests
these days feel no less important thanks
to a
passenger
limit and the wonderful attention to detail
aboard the
elegant 32-cabin cruise
ship
extraordinaire.
For its two week-long
New
Zealand
cruises, Kalos employs
the Orion, a
boutique liner
with 53 staterooms
and an intoxicating mixture
of grandeur and
intimacy. Among the stops
are two of
the finest courses
anywhere: Kauri Cliffs and Cape
Kidnappers.
Back aboard
the Silver
Whisper
following a round at Saint Cyprien high
in the
Pyrenees, a hot lava
rock massage in the spa
is the perfect treatment
for
working out the
kinks.
If that doesn’t work, you can
always book a lesson with
the
ship’s resident instructor,
Glenn Collins, while the ship is
at sea the
next day.Following a cabaret performance in
the ship’s Show Lounge and a
visit to the Champagne Room for some fine
grappa and cigars, your final rounds
are on two of Italy’s best,
Cosmopolitan Country Club and Le Querce Golf Course.
You’re apt to
shout, Bellissimo!
As the sun sets over the horizon
on the last
evening of the cruise, you can enjoy a drink on the
Observation Lounge atop the
10-deck liner before your final gourmet
meal, recalling your every shot—the
perfect end to one of the most
luxurious, memorable golf vacations of your life.
