Destinations include Scotland, Ireland, Wales, UK Islands and France. The cruise begins in Edinburgh, Scotland, and ends in Southampton, England. There will be onboard whisky, beer and wine tastings and visits to distilleries, breweries and wineries.

Gregg has been the onboard Beer Cruise Director for both cruises. These cruises, which draw about 50 guests, take place on large, luxury cruise ships. They combine the fun of an ocean cruise along with regional-accented beer seminars and excursions. Onboard there are pre-dinner seminars each evening covering topics such as: Beer 101: a beer styles primer Beer History: a lighthearted overview of beer's place in history Beer and Food: a pairing of beers & cheeses Big Beer: a tasting of powerful beers Mini Beer Fest: The afternoon before the ship embarks, a mini beer fest takes place onboard with representatives (often the owners and brewers) of breweries from the cruise region. Beer Dinner: One evening during the cruise a beer dinner is presented in one of the ship’s finer restaurants. Ports of Call: At each port of call during the cruise, beer cruisers mix a tour of the area’s attractions along with visits to local microbreweries and brewpubs.
