Paula Deen feels right at home cooking or baking in her southern kitchen, but once a year you can find her traveling the high seas! She explains, "Alice Travel does a Paula Deen Cruise the last week of every January, and we go somewhere - I don't even ask [where] because I don't care, as long as I'm on the ship - and we just have a ball, about 700 of us."

Paula says that the week includes cooking, live shows, photography sessions, book signings and a few familiar faces. "This is our fifth year," Paula says, "and there are about a dozen people who haven't missed a year since we started!" For more information, visit the Paula Deen Cruise webpage.
