Fortunately, she was able to purchase one of her favorite Canadian designers Joesph Ribkoff. Since 1957 Joseph Ribkoff has been
successfully designing collections for women around the world who lead busy lifestyles. The company
and collections have been constantly evolving to meet the multidimensional needs of today’s
women.

At 4 PM we attended a presentation by Cruise Director Fernando on “Classic Cruise Liners”. It covered the early cruise liners of 1900 – 1920. Very interesting, with more to come in his overview of the history of cruise liners by decade.

Our Cruise Director Fernando – He is the BEST!!!
Most nights dine at the gourmet “The Restaurant”. Here is the everyday table setting with tuxedoed waiters, the best international menu selection, and a 60+ wine selection.

The evening was capped off by a performance in the Showroom by Ruslan Biryukov: Alone – An Artistic Adventure with a Russian Cellist.

Ruslan Biryukov is known for his “superb artistry, passion, and individuality,” representing a new generation of creative professional musicians whose artistic level is recognized not only by awards but also by a worldwide audience. Mr. Biryukov has performed throughout the world, including countries in the former USSR, Europe, and United States.

He was the only cellist ever invited to perform for 10 consecutive years solo recitals at the Sundays Live Concert Series in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the longest-running live radio broadcasted concert series in the United States, as well as the only Russian cellist invited to solo with the orchestra during the inaugural season of the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall.

Memorable chamber music experience includes performances with world-renowned violinist Midori at the Disney Hall in Los Angeles, cellist Kirill Rodin at the Tchaikovsky Moscow Conservatory, and members of the Ysaye Quartet.
