We’re looking to do this Northbound cruise from Malta to Marseilles. We’ve done 17 Tauck tours and have lately been disappointed with the increased number of people on each excursion (I realize it depends on the specific excursion). Too many people make it unwieldy and slow. We’ve never sailed on a Ponant ship so we’re curious about the quality and taste of the food (we’re foodies) and also want to know if adult beverages are included in the price while on the ship? Thank you so much!
