A lot of people asked me how I could possibly want to spend 108-nights on a ship. My response, how could you not want to spend 108-nights on a ship? I love being at sea. That’s my happy place, even when the waves are crashing against the hull and throwing us around like a toy…

What Standards Should You Expect On A Luxury Cruise Ship?
All aboard! It’s time to roll out the red carpet and step into the land of luxury and style. Many cruise ships have upped their game when it comes to offering guests the ultimate experience. Providing VIP treatment around the clock, from private butlers to Michelin-starred chefs, there are no limits as to what you…
Fred. Olsen World Cruise 2018: Turkey, Greece, Italy And Spain
We’ve called to Turkey, Greece, Italy and Spain since I last checked in with you and I didn’t really do much in any of the ports. I’ve had so much writing to catch up on and because I decided to buy half of Asia, I’ve been trying to sort out my cases and decide what…
Fred. Olsen World Cruise 2018: Jordan, Egypt And The Suez Canal
We spent seven days at sea after leaving Mumbai and by the time we reached Jordan even I was itching for some dry land. We’d booked ‘The Lost City of Petra’ tour before joining the ship and it was a full-day tour. Everyone was on time, I think we may have even left a little…
Fred. Olsen World Cruise 2018: Cochin And Mumbai
Our first stop in India was Cochin and Marian and I were booked on a tour to see the backwaters of Alappuzha by houseboat. We left the ship early as the drive to join the boat took almost 2 hours, but in the end it was absolutely worth it. The houseboat was quite big and…
Fred. Olsen World Cruise 2018: Myanmar And The Shwedagon Pagoda
We were due to arrive in Myanmar early because of a medical issue with a passenger, but due to tidal restrictions and issues with the port authority, we had to stick to our original time of 6PM. Marian and I decided to stay onboard in the evening, as we had a long tour booked for…
Fred. Olsen World Cruise 2018: Singapore And Kuala Lumpur
Singapore was a port that we decided to do on our own. I was looking forward to visiting, but it wasn’t the most important on the list and we didn’t want to get jammed up with a tour. We researched a few places and once through immigration we hit the road. Our first stop was…
Fred. Olsen World Cruise 2018: Darwin And Komodo Island
Darwin was our next port and our day was going to involve the Jumping Crocodile Cruise. I’d researched this before we left on Black Watch, but it can take 90 minutes to get there if traffic is bad, so I decided that the best thing to do was book directly with Fred. Olsen. We left…
Fred. Olsen World Cruise 2018: Sydney, Brisbane And Hamilton Island
After a rough and restless day at sea, we finally arrived in Sydney on February 27th. I’d never imagined ever being lucky enough to visit Australia, but there I was, right in the heart of it and best of all, I had 2 days to explore. Marian and I left the ship as soon as…
Fred. Olsen World Cruise 2018: Auckland And Bay Of Islands
We arrived in Auckland on the Wednesday morning (February 21) and the ship was cleared and I was on the gangway before 10:30AM. I didn’t have much planned, I wanted to explore under my own steam and as we remained in port for 2 days, I didn’t have to rush to fit everything in. I…
