Where in the world is Britannia? Well, today we are at sea, heading back home towards Southampton. I am not quite ready to leave this rather large beauty yet, but we have another sea day to enjoy, so no tears are allowed, only smiles and of course, a catch up. After leaving Barcelona we made…

Expedition Cruising
One day I really want to try an Expedition Cruise. I love to get up close with nature and wildlife during my cruises so I know this type of voyage would be perfect for me. I really like the idea of having a TRUE adventure ashore, where you pull up onto a rocky beach in…
