   Wanna cruise the Yangtze with Newstalk ZB’s Danny Watson?

   Newstalk ZB’s afternoon host Danny Watson and his wife are going to host a river cruise in China this June and I have it on good authority that Danny will leave his microphone in the office, put on his cruising ‘leisure wear’, sip a drink with an umbrella in it and let his now ponytail-less [...]

   Amazing Alaskan cruise

   I reckon Alaska is best seen by sea. But I would say that because I’ve only seen it that way. However since the capital city – Juneau – is only reached by sea I might just be right! This amazing state of America was owned by Russia until 1867 but didn’t become an official United [...]

   Family cruise to the Gold Coast

   If you read my previous post on the Party Cruise to Sydney and were insanely jealous because, while you love to kick up your heels, partying whilst on a family holiday is a misnomer, do not despair!

   Join the party cruise to Sydney!

   If you’re on the sprightly side of 40 and have always toyed with the idea of a cruise but been scared off by the thought of portly passengers with bumbags strapped around their ample middles and having to wait in line behind mobility scooters – then this party cruise could be you. I’ve done 5 [...]

   Canal boating in Paris anyone?

   I set out to explore the underground canals of Paris where Erik (aka Phantom of the Opera) lived. Of course you can boat along the Seine like all the tourists, pointing your camera at breathtaking sight after breathtaking sight from Notre Dame in the east to the Eiffel Tower in the west (which incidentally was [...]

   Cruising the Caribbean on the party ship!

   If taking a cruise is on your wish-list, here’s some advice: make sure you choose the right ship, right destination and right companion… I have done 5 cruises and each has been so completely different, that you really need to research them before you book.

   Cruising the world’s mighty rivers

   There are some uber cheap deals out right now (read on to save $1500!) and I have had my head filled with fancy notions of cruising along the Danube in a boat that holds 150 passengers and stops at new and quaint towns and villages each morning. I went  to a swanky lunch with Viking [...]

   Ever thought about cruising in the Caribbean?

   There are a cruises and there are cruises! There are those that the blue-rinse brigade and their mobile scooters love and there are those where outdoor movie screens and whizzy slides mean more of a uni crowd and younger families. My sister and I headed off for a 1-week cruise around the Caribbean from Miami [...]
