About this episode

Former Bad Company bass player Paul Cullen returns to talk about his upcoming hosted wine cruise aboard Oceana's Alora — and if you've been on one of his cruises before, you already know this one is going to sell out. Paul and Bonnie Cullen are hosting an April departure out of Rome (Civitavecchia), with stops in Salerno, Messina (Sicily), Trani, Bari, and Montenegro. The standout excursion: a private visit to Gambino Vineyard on the slopes of Mount Etna, a fan favorite from past cruises.
