Another picture perfect day to host the Lindblad/National Geographic Quest, sister ship to the Venture that was here last week. The 63 guest’s onboard experienced Victoria in all its grandeur, wrapping up with a private reception at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria. And what’s a reception without an amazing culinary experience. Enter House of Boateng, the culinary maestro who always creates tantalizing canapés with every bite being a symphony of flavors. Fabulous day!
