Darwin was our next port and our day was going to involve the Jumping Crocodile Cruise. I’d researched this before we left on Black Watch, but it can take 90 minutes to get there if traffic is bad, so I decided that the best thing to do was book directly with Fred. Olsen. We left…

Fred. Olsen World Cruise 2018: Papeete And A Wedding Vow Renewal Ceremony
We arrived in Papeete a day before schedule, we had to take some shelter from the bad weather and we weren’t the only ship in port. We docked at around 9PM, but it was absolutely pouring with rain, so Marian and I decided to stay onboard, sleep and wake up refreshed the following morning for…
Fred. Olsen World Cruise 2018: Easter Island And Pitcairn Island
We spent several fun-filled days at sea before reaching our next port of call, Hanga Roa, Easter Island, Chile. There was sun, cloud and a tug-of-war. Yes, you read that correctly, a tug-of-war. Passengers, for obvious reasons, weren’t allowed to take part, but we could bet for the team we wanted to win – all…
Fred. Olsen World Cruise 2018: Panama Canal, Ecuador And Peru

Fred. Olsen World Cruise 2018: Bermuda, Cuba And Cozumel
We’re now onto day 19 of this wonderful 108-night cruise and I am loving every moment – even the non-sunbathing days that force me to sample the bar menu and try my hardest to get more than 2 points in the morning quiz! I’m doing well so far and even managed to WIN one day….
For The Love Of Sea Days
The sea day, you either love it or you hate it. Personally, I love a sea day just as much as I do a port day. It’s the only time I get to sit back and do absolutely nothing. For me, the sea day is a priceless luxury and one that I never tire of….
Spot The ‘Big 5’ On Safari With Voyages To Antiquity
In less enlightened times, hunters coined the term ‘Big 5’ for the most difficult creatures to take down with a single shot. These days, thankfully, the shooting is done with cameras, but the ‘Big 5’ – lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant and rhino – retain their iconic appeal for safari-goers. Voyages to Antiquity’s epic new 51-day…

John Honeywell On His Passion For Cruise – This Is My Tribute To A Cruising Legend
I started my blog in February 2012 and at that time, I had no idea where it would take me or the friendships it would build. I worked tirelessly to make sure my content was always fresh and exciting and it wasn’t long before I caught the attention of John Honeywell, better known to those…
