A 7-Night Cruise Aboard MSC Splendida
It had been quite some time since I travelled down to Southampton the day before a cruise, but for my MSC Splendida sailing, that’s exactly what I did. I spent the night pre-cruise at the IBIS Budget in Southampton on West Quay road. I’ve stayed in a few IBIS properties and I’ve never had a bad…
Britannia: A Maiden Voyage In Pictures
March 14th 2015, was a very special day indeed, as P&O Cruises newest fleet addition Britannia would leave her homeport of Southampton on her maiden voyage. That 2-week cruise was quite possibly one of the most highly anticipated of my entire cruising life, so far. Waiting a year from booking until sailing was absolute torture,…

River Cruising
I have never been on a river cruise, I think the fact I would not be on an ocean going vessel sometimes puts me off, after all you are aware by now that one enjoys the motion of the ocean, but every time I visit Amsterdam I see all the beautiful river boats lined up,…
Arrivederci MSC Opera
It’s almost that time again, disembarkation day!

I didn’t anticipate for one second before I left that…
Monte Carlo And Eze
Yesterday we spent the day in good old Monaco. This was in fact my fifth visit to Monte Carlo and before leaving for the cruise I decided it would be nice to do a tour here this time and take in a little more of what this beautiful and very rich port has to offer….
Counting Down To Ventura And The Mediterranean
It’s that time of year again, summer is almost upon us and so come the thoughts of some fun in the sun for 2 weeks. I have visited the Mediterranean on a cruise several times but I never tire of it. I love the atmosphere in countries like Italy and Spain during the summer months…
Majesty Of The Seas Canal Boat
I stumbled across something recently that stopped me in my tracks and I knew I HAD to share it with you! A gentleman in France named Francois Zanella, after getting sick of building the average size cruise ship models, decided to take things one step further and spent 11 years building a huge replica of…
Cannes, France – Day 7
Today we awoke from our slumber anchored just off the coast of Cannes, France. I never get bored with these tender ports, especially the ones on the French Riviera, they are breath taking. Although Cannes is wonderful I think my favourite would have to be Villefranche, simply beautiful. So as mentioned it is a tender…
