Cruising

You are here: Home / Archives for Travel / Cruising

We love cruising. It combines travel exploration with luxury. Allowing us to explore somewhere new by day, we return to familiar surroundings at night. It helps us to build a list of countries and cities we will explore in detail at a later time.

There is also a social element to life on the ship that we don’t always get when we travel independently.

To date, we have sailed to countries in five continents.

Articles we  have written include tips, ships, and ports from around the world. Start here or look below for our latest cruise article.
