My cruise aboard Hurtigruten Expeditions ‘MS MAUD’ was unlike any other cruise experience I’ve had, and in so many ways. Usually, I’d do a day-by-day account of the cruise, but if I tried that with Maud, I’d still be here this time next year – that’s how much I want to say about it! Instead,…

Emerging Canada Aboard Saga Sapphire: Eastbound Transatlantic Crossing, Ponta Delgada And An Inflatable Liferaft
The next 4 days were enjoyed at sea, heading across the Atlantic and towards Ponta Delgada. I spent one day reading a book about Titanic and its connection to Halifax. I know, I could have picked a better subject, but I was eager to learn more about the ships’ connection to the port we had…
Emerging Canada Aboard Saga Sapphire: Corner Brook, Sydney And Halifax
I had a short morning tour in Corner Brook that was simply titled ‘Corner Brook City Highlights’. It was a relatively small place, so the tour was only 2 hours in duration, but it suited me. There’s nothing worse than a tour being dragged out for longer than it need be, so I was off…
Emerging Canada Aboard Saga Sapphire: Montréal And Quebec City
We arrived in Montreal on the morning of May 26th and I was soon ashore, beginning my private tour courtesy of Tourisme Montréal. My guide’s name was Rene and he met me promptly in the terminal building at 9:30am. We were soon on our way out of the port and into the Old Town. We…
Saga Sapphire Emerging Canada: St John’s, Gaspé And Sept-Iles
After 6 days on the open ocean and not seeing any other form of human life for days, land was a welcome sight, but in true Danielle-style, I was heading straight back out to sea on a tour to Puffin Island. We’d finally reached St John’s, Newfoundland. I’ve visited Norway and Iceland and did several…

Solo Cruising With P&O Cruises
My last trip was another solo cruising adventure and I wanted to highlight that a little more today. I don’t feel like I touched on that aspect too much when I was actually onboard and I know a few of you will appreciate something a little more in depth about the experience. My Canary Islands…
Cruise Ship Cabin Sharing
Being the cruise enthusiast that I am, naturally I am part of a few online groups and communities that all relate to cruising and one thing that is discussed quite frequently is cabin sharing with someone you don’t really know in order to avoid paying the single supplements. I have come to know many wonderful…
Cruising On Your Own
Since I started cruising I have enjoyed three solo voyages, but only my last gave me a real taste of what solo cruising is all about. I suppose the fact I am not a typical individual cruiser always becomes a talking point with people and it could be why I can form such quick relationships….
