The cruise package includes all meals prepared in the custom sky deck culinary theater of Moonlight Lady, and accommodations aboard the yacht. In addition, guests will be provided with take home materials kits. “We are really looking forward to these cruises with Sean.” states company founder Mike Shea. “Lake Champlain is such an inspiration for artistic expression. I am proud to offer this opportunity to the public, enjoy the beauty and splendor of the lake while exploring their creativity.”
