Creator's Key Takeaways

I tend to find the ones we booked last minute always seem to work out better.

We really enjoyed it didn't we? Really good.

It's so much cheaper than using the cruise lines as well.

We feel privileged that we've got the opportunity and the means to do it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book last minute for potentially better deals.
Use bar tab and loot on Virgin Voyages wisely.
Consider solo traveler deals from Ambassador or Fred Olsen.
Book fly cruises with P&O or Marella for stress-free travel.
Tip cabin stewards at the end of the cruise for good service.
