The foods, wines and the teas on board SH Vega, is pretty awesome – under the direction of executive chef Avhier Singh of South Africa (SeaTrade), and sous chef Ariel, our meals are both tasty and beautifully presented at Swan, aside from cheerful serving staff.

I always ask for half portion even their serving size isn’t big.

Breakfasts vary slightly. Pizza has constance presence. Lunches (buffet 自助餐) and dinners are always different. Club on Deck 7 serves light breakfast and afternoon teas, with the machine for various drinks on 24/7. Each room is equipped with illy coffee machine and water heater. Wines vary but repeat. The wines are decent (their reserved wine list).

Our winter break trip (Feb 21-26) coincided with the 2006 Winter Olympics (the XX Olympic Winter Games, February 10 – 26) in Turin, Italy. On our last day, we watched the closing ceremony while had our lunch. The lovely little town was in a celebratory mood and was promoting the 2010 winter game which was to hold there in 4 years.

Olympics was closing at Turin and would open in town in 4 years

We took Cathay Pacific leaving JFK at 11pm. The upside it’s an Asia airline with better food/service but the down side is getting to Vancouver at 2am. No traffic 🙂
