Cruise Ports

Cruising often takes us to places we might never have visited otherwise. When we choose our ship and itinerary, there is usually a mix of cruise ports already on our bucket list, cities we know little about, and somewhere we had never thought of visiting before.

An eclectic mix, we have shared about things to do in a number of ports around the world. Many of them are stunning locations, allowing us to share photos, thus taking you there virtually.

To date, we have sailed in Asia (Indonesia), Australasia (American Samoa, Australia, French Polynesia, New Zealand), Europe (France, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Turkey, UK), North America (Alaska, Canada, Caribbean, Costa Rica, Mexico, Panama, USA), and South America (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay).

Enjoy our articles based on a variety of cruise ports around the world:
