German term or phrase: Genussreise
Schon zum Auftakt seiner Genussreise steht der Reisende als individuelle Persönlichkeit im Mittelpunkt aufmerksamer und freundlicher Umsorgung, erlebt er eleganten Stil und Komfort, fühlt er sich rasch wie zu Hause; was wohl nicht zuletzt auch an der hohen Wohnkultur liegt.

pleasure cruise


Explanation:
I find this a bit more fitting. Cruise does not necessarily have to pertain to ship cruises. You can use it in a sense of like taking it easy, cruising on a highway

neutral  casper (X): The hyphen in the title of the text is misleading. It should've been a dash or a colon, not a hyphen.

Tour of delight


Explanation:
"Tour of delight" offers some interesting Google hits; albeit only a few. Nevertheless, "was wohl nicht zuletzt auch an der hohen Wohnkultur liegt" suggests that this does not only refer to the epicurean aspects.

Conf. level medium.

gourmet break


Explanation:
In the light of Courtney's explanation of the context, this might be an option. "Break" is often used for luxury hotel deals, in the UK anyway.
