Exploring And A Change Of Itinerary

At present we are sailing through the Mediterranean Sea en route to our last port of call. There were a few white horses out there last night, nothing too drastic but enough gentle movement to remind you that you are in fact on a ship in the middle of the sea. Wonderful! Since my last…

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….

And Then There Was Land

We had three sea days at the beginning of the cruise before reaching our first port. I love sea days, the weather wasn’t too great on the first two but it’s got steadily warmer and brighter by the day. Our first port was Valencia and today we have enjoyed Barcelona. During our time in Valencia…

Hello From P&O Cruises Ventura

Hello from P&O Cruises, Ventura! At present we are en-route to our first port of call, Valencia. We are due to arrive in port on Wednesday after having spent three days at sea. I figured because of all the “pre-port” time I have on my hands it would be a great opportunity to bring you…

Finally I shall find myself back on board P&O Cruises, Ventura. It’s been 11 months since I was last on board…

Well there are just 5 more days to go before I join P&O Cruises, Ventura for a 2 week Mediterranean cruise, and after all the sun we have been having in the UK, I can’t wait! (Slogan pun not intended but pretty hard to avoid) The good weather at home always makes me think more…

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…

A Simple Evening At Sea

We were sailing through the Mediterranean Sea, the sun was just starting to set and I had the entire deck to myself. This is the life, I thought. Nothing but ocean for miles around, no noise and nothing spoiling the view. It’s a feeling that never gets old. On this particular evening it was warm…

One Day A World Cruise

World Circumnavigation, those two words together send thousands of images shooting through my mind all at the same time. It’s like a race across the globe in a split second without even leaving my chair. For me a world cruise will be the ultimate experience, it’s my life’s goal I suppose you could say. I…
