Court of Master Sommeliers Level One Introductory Sommelier Course and Exam Offered on The Oasis Of The Seas for the First Time Ever 

The Intro Class & Exam - The Master Sommelier Introductory Sommelier Course is the first of four required steps  to become a Master  Sommelier.  The course is given over a two day period with candidates receiving intensive instruction and training by a team of Master Sommeliers on wines and spirits knowledge, proper wine service, and blind tasting. The intent of the Introductory Sommelier Course is to provide wine and hospitality professionals with a thorough introduction to the world of wines and spirits at the highest professional standards.  And now it will be offered aboard the Oasis of the Seas, the largest cruise ship in the world.  Our cruise dates are January 15 to 22, 2011.  The sommelier classes will be offered on our days at sea (see below).

Look, we know it’s hard to get away and that’s the reason we designed this course to be on a ship … so that you and your significant other, friend, co-worker or whoever can have a “working vacation” together.  We are going to have a ton of fun learning about wine and hanging out with other like-minded wine lovers.  We are planning several wine events during the cruise so that we can get to know each other as we live this glorious life one day at a time. So, if you want to get away, get the “Intro” course work done in a wonderful environment, take advantage of all that a week at sea has to offer and hang out with fellow wine lovers, this week is made for you.

You’ll get everything that you would get in that stuffy old hotel room in some city in the Midwest, but you will get in the style, comfort and sophistication of a luxury ocean liner. If you just want to get away for awhile take advantage of the spa, day trips or many activities these ships offer, is all up to you.
