Top 40 Things In The World I Want To See

We all have a long list of places in the world we want to go and things we really would like to see, and I am certainly no exception. I want to see the ENTIRE world, not just bits of it, all of it! I know the chances of that happening in one lifetime are…

The Stockholm Archipelago – Photo Blog

During my Baltic cruise aboard Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, Braemar, I was invited to join the captain, pilot and several other senior officers on the bridge for our morning journey through the Stockholm Archipelago. It was an incredible experience! In total I had roughly 4 hours up there and I took in EVERYTHING that was happening around…

Alta Norway With P&O Cruises Part 2

I am slightly behind in blogs due to the signal strength being incredibly low through the Fjords but here is Alta day 2. Our second day in Alta was just as fun and exciting as day 1 and started with an hour’s drive out to Maze, one of the largest Sami camps in Norway. It…

Alta Norway With P&O Cruises Part 1

Since I last checked in with you all we have spent two days at sea and two days in Alta. Sea days are sea days, not a great deal to report but our days in Alta were nothing short of AMAZING so today they are the focus. Actually let me just mention that on one…

This Time Next Week Amsterdam

This time next week I will be once again exploring the wonderful city of Amsterdam and I am really looking forward to it. I am travelling with DFDS Seaways aboard King Seaways for my outward journey and Princess Seaways for my return journey. It should be fun and I am excited to once again be…

My Three Favourite Places

I have a page on my blog titled ‘My Travels’ and it is pretty much self-explanatory. It’s a list of all the places I have been lucky enough to visit and I add more as I go along. Out of all the places I have visited so far, there are one or two that really…

Diamonds And Cocktails In Amsterdam

Our second and final port was Amsterdam, Holland. This would be my third visit to Holland since March and I was quite looking forward to once again doing something new and exciting. We left the cruise terminal and were met by our local guides who escorted us just a few steps away from the cruise…

Gent (Ghent) Belgium

Gent or Ghent as it is also referred was my first port of call during my recent Marco Polo mini-cruise and having never been to Belgium before I was looking forward to this port the most. We left the ship and were introduced to our local guide before jumping in a taxi and being whisked…

Celebrity Eclipse in Alesund and Stavanger

When we woke the following morning we found ourselves already in Alesund and had barely noticed the ship coming alongside. The town itself was right outside our window. Neither the weather nor the scenery were as amazing as the previous two mornings, but Alesund looked quaint so we decided to get off for a quick…

Celebrity Eclipse In Geirangerfjord

The next morning we awoke to find ourselves winding our way down the even more spectacular Geirangerfjord. As promised by the officers in Flam, the sun was still beating down on the ship with only the occasional wispy white cloud obscuring the perfect blue sky. Another perk of being in a suite was the invite…
