Hosted by Sherry Taylor, owner of Smalls Mini Mall, in partnership with Gwiin Correa of Memorable Moments Travel, this voyage is designed for makers, dreamers, and curious creatives of all levels. Joining Sherry and Gwiin is featured presenter Tania Cherie of Cherie’s Minis, who will share her creativity and expertise in miniature décor and accessories, adding even more inspiration and hands-on fun to this one-of-a-kind creative experience at sea.

Sailing round-trip from Rome aboard Odyssey of the Seas, you’ll explore the breathtaking Greek Isles, with a stop in Kuşadası, Turkey, the gateway to the ancient city of Ephesus, one of the world’s best-preserved classical cities. In Naples, choose your own adventure along the Amalfi Coast, Sorrento, Pompei, or Capri—each offering iconic scenery, rich history, and timeless charm.

At sea, the Miniature Workshop, led by Sherry Taylor and featuring presenter Tania Cherie of Cherie’s Minis, offers a relaxed, supportive space to unwind, connect with fellow travelers, and create a meaningful keepsake inspired by the journey.
