'French roasting' for Aussie passengers

An American travel company magazine has quoted the experience of an Australian couple aboard the 'boutique' cruise ship SeaDream II when it visited the small south-western French fishing town of Port Vendres, citing the reaction of locals to small ships like SeaDream compared with the arrival of mega-liners.
SeaDream II was the only ship in port on the day, and as her 100 passengers went ashore, several who stopped to watch a fisherman roasting fresh-caught sardines for his lunch were surprised when he offered to share his lunch with them.
The magazine, Costco Connection quoted the Australian couple as saying: “You’re lucky to have an experience like that once in a lifetime… to have it on the first day of our cruise was something spectacular.”
Costco Connection is the magazine of the Costco Travel corporation that has chartered SeaDream II for a 7-night sailing in the Mediterranean for 100 of its regular clients in May of this year.
