Yesterday I enjoyed the hospitality of Hurtigruten ship, MS Fram, whilst she was docked in Port of Tyne. That was once I found her of course. I knew she was small but as we drove towards the terminal I couldn’t see anything that resembled a ship. Finally she peeked out from behind the apartment building…

Norwegian Breakaway Arrives in Southampton
Norwegian Cruise Line’s newest vessel, Norwegian Breakaway, arrived in Southampton this morning and has certainly NOT disappointed her awaiting British audience. Next stop, New York City, but for now she remains docked in Southampton at the City Terminal and we are certainly enjoying having her here. She really does look wonderful and is jam packed…
My First River Cruise
Today’s blog comes courtesy of a friend of mine, Mandy (CruiseMandy) Smith. She recently embarked on her first River Cruise and as it’s not something covered on my blog regularly, I invited her to share with us her experience. When the opportunity to cruise the Nile on the 5* Royal Viking with Discover Egypt presented…
Muster Drill Pick Up Lines
During last night’s weekly #CruiseChat on Twitter we were discussing solo cruising. It was quite a coincidence then that my blog yesterday was also about solo cruising. Once we moved away from the chat itself a new hashtag was created, #MusterDrillPickUps, a sort of side line tag where we could add quirky and stupid pick-up…
A Solo Cruise With MSC Cruises
Although I have cruised on my own before I was then on a British ship with 99% of the other passengers also being British. Making conversation and friends was not a problem. My recent cruise with MSC Cruises on board MSC Magnifica, would also see me travelling solo but the experience as a solo traveller…
MSC Magnifica A Day At Sea
Today we should have spent the day ashore in Helgoland but sadly our call had to be cancelled. It is a tender port and by the time we reached our position of anchor our Captain, Antonio Siviero, made the decision to cancel due to the force 7 winds and a wave height of 2-3 metres….
MSC Magnifica Day 2 Hamburg
Yesterday I enjoyed the hospitality of Hamburg, Germany as MSC Cruises, MSC Magnifica sailed us into our next port of call. We didn’t arrive until 10.30am so it was the perfect excuse to have a short lie in and not worry about rushing up and off the ship. When I finally dragged myself out of…
MSC Magnifica Day 1 Embarkation
I joined MSC Cruises MSC Magnifica yesterday morning and so far I am very impressed. Check-in was swift and I was shown personally to my cabin, I really liked this touch! I walked through the door and was greeted with a rather nice balcony cabin and queen sized bed. Yes I have all of this…
Amsterdam And The Anne Frank House
Yesterday I spent the day in Amsterdam, my first visit here and aside from the hustle bustle of the main part of the city I did enjoy my visit. The main reason I have always wanted to visit Amsterdam is to see the Anne Frank House. I mentioned in a blog previously that I have…

There is a cruise involved but I actually started my journey aboard DFDS Seaways, Princess Seaways. She sailed me overnight to Amsterdam where I am staying until tomorrow morning. I checked-in at 3.30pm and was soon on board…
