A Day Aboard Marco Polo
Yesterday I found myself back onboard Cruise & Maritime Voyages, Marco Polo, and the sun was shining for her arrival in Port of Tyne. I spent 3-nights aboard this wonderful little ship in October of last year and I was excited to be meeting with her once again, even if it was for just a…
Marco Polo, Noro and Props
Cruising has taken a bashing in recent weeks. The Marco Polo incident followed by norovirus outbreaks and the odd mechanical issue here and there, everything seems to come at the same time and cruising is once again thrown into the spotlight for all the WRONG reasons.

I’m sorry if today’s blog seems like a jumbled mess. I’m having one of those days where I have the thought, but I can’t…
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…
Marco Polo Mini Cruise
Yesterday I returned from a 3-night mini-cruise aboard Cruise and Maritime Voyages, MS Marco Polo and I have to say I really enjoyed it.
