We have enjoyed over 35 cruises since 1995. As well as sharing some factual and helpful information the idea behind this channel is to share our joy of cruising. My long suffering wife Lindsey is a very important part of our team. Since our recent retirement we had planned several bucket list cruises and despite rebooking them several times we are yet to travel on any of them due to the pandemic. We are looking forward to international cruising again shortly and hope you will join us on our travels.
