Bridge Cruises Renown Hosts Contact JESS Kalinowsky FriendsTravel.com
Oceania@FriendsTravel.com
Many of you have inquired about bridge play on board Oceania over the years, since Oceania’s entry into the marketplace. Until now, I have not been able to confirm definite sailings with definite play. I am now, however, happy to announce that I can offer you definite bridge cruises for our valued, bridge-playing, cruise clients, that they can now sail Oceania’s beautiful ships and destinations, while enjoying their favorite past time!

The following information details who the bridge instructors are, and on which 2011 sailings they will be offering bridge. On these sailings noted below, we will have bridge play at least twice a day on days at sea, and at least once a day on days in port:
Gerry and Barbara Fox
REGATTA- AUGUST 14, 2011
Gerry Fox is a full-time bridge teacher in the San Francisco area. With over 300 students per week he is one of the busiest and most popular instructors in the country.
Following an academic career at Smith College and the University of California (Berkeley), Gerry turned his avocation into a professional bridge career. He is a Certified Director and a Gold Life Master of the American Contract Bridge League, the author of seven books on the game, and has been a guest lecturer on more than 160 cruises. Apart from his teaching Gerry also serves as the owner of Grand Slam Cruises. In this capacity he is responsible for the staffing and operation of the bridge programs on six cruise lines.
Gerry will be traveling with his wife, Barbara, who will assist him. When they are not at sea, they make their home in Napa, CA
Joan and John Macholl
NAUTICA – OCTOBER 1, 2011
John and Joan Macholl began their love affair with the game of bridge in their college years. In fact, they met at the bridge table. We are proud that we never cut a class to play bridge. We began our careers as Business Education teachers. Then John went into administration—first as a Department Chairperson and then as a High School Principal. When our daughter was a high school senior, we took up duplicate bridge and golf (as if we didn’t have enough challenges).
Since retirement, we have become certified teachers, directors and have reached Silver Life Master Status. We enjoy teaching and directing both at home and on the sea. And we are proof that husbands and wives can play this game together and have fun!!!!
John Newman
INSIGNIA, OCTOBER 29, 2011
John Newman, an Australian national bridge champion on several occasions, is also a first-rate instructor, having introduced thousands of players to the game. He has lectured on many cruise ships and at major bridge clubs worldwide. John is an avid promoter of the game through Social Bridge Australia, an organization he founded, and by conducting bridge holidays under the aegis of Bridge Travel, his own company. When he is in Sydney, John conducts group coaching in his Bridge Studio in Mosman. He will be assisted on this trip by Rhonda Goldman.
Lynn Berg/Gail Rust
MARINA – OCTOBER 21, 2011
Dr. Lynn Berg is a Gold Life Master, a National Teacher Trainer for the American Contract Bridge League, an Easybridge expert, an accredited teacher and certified director and an American Bridge Teachers Association Master Teacher. She is a popular bridge columnist whose specialty is novice and intermediate players. Lynn is a retired college English teacher. She lives in Florida with her elderly dachshund and two Siamese cats, but loves to travel (especially on shipboard!) She also enjoys reading, cards, gardening and entertaining. Her four children and six grandchildren are scattered all over the country—another great reason to travel.
Her friend Gail Rust is a Platinum Life Master, a certified director and accredited teacher. Gail has traveled even more than Lynn, having visited Croatia, Greece, Turkey, the Baltic and the Canadian and U.S. coasts in the past two years, Gail lives in Florida; she has one son and a Siamese cat.
Peg and Dewy Cundiff
MARINA-NOVEMBER 14, 2011
Peg & Dewy Cundiff are well-known international bridge lecturers, directors and tournament players. Before they began traveling the world on cruise ships, their professional lives centered in education. Dewy enjoyed coaching and physical education instruction; Peg distinguished herself in the field of psychology and counseling. Both studied at Central Missouri University, San Francisco University, University of Kansas, University of Wisconsin and London University. They completed Bachelor, Master and postgraduate degrees. Professional awards for outstanding teaching, exceptional contributions to the study of international travel and recognition for leadership in the world of bridge have been accorded to the Cundiffs.

Oceania Marina Red Ginger JESS Kalinowsky Friends Travel LLP
Red Ginger makes an immediate and powerful statement with its decorative centerpiece: three fabulous, multi-colored Buddha heads, each carved from a single piece of glass and brightly lit from within. Then, with a nod to feng shui, the room unfolds in perfect harmony, the mood a study in tranquility. The décor simply radiates with ebony woods, bronze and hand blown glass light fixtures and eclectic, modern Asian artwork.
To complement the stunning interior, Red Ginger’s chefs have created a striking menu, noted for its contemporary interpretations of Asian classics. You might begin with a Salad of Roast Duck and Watermelon with Cashews, Mint and Thai Basil. Savor a Nutty Braised Beef Malay Curry with Coconut Rice and Paratha Roti. Or Asian-spiced Rack Of Lamb with Kohl Robi, Cream Spinach and Truffle Oil. For dessert, Green Tea Banana Cake with Toffee and Hazelnut Sauce Served with Coconut Ice Cream is the perfect ending. In Red Ginger, the gustatory pleasures are as striking as the visual ones.
