We’ve been hyping summer cruises to Alaska for some time now on this here little blog. Alaska is truly one of the best places to do on a cruise.

Surrounded by nothing but blue water, the wind whipping through your air, the ship rocking with each wave, the birds hanging above hoping you’ll leave something behind for them to feast on, whales jumping next to you. Some people just like being on the open sea and it is hard to blame them. Getting away from the daily grind is one reason for travel and there is no easier way to escape from your land-based life for a few days than to be on the open sea.
There are a fair number ... [read more]

When you think of sea explorers the first and only name that probably comes to mind is Jacques Cousteau. The French researcher changed the way we think of oceans and changed our understanding of the animals that inhabit the sea. His pioneering work is continued on by his first son Jean-Michel Cousteau and his Ocean Futures Society, a marine conservation and education organization that is fostering a conservation ethic, conducting research, and developing marine education programs.
Cousteau is truly a leader in his field and his knowledge is something that audiences worldwide ... [read more]

People often ask me what I think is the best place to take a cruise in the world. This is, of course, a difficult question to answer because there are so many great cruise spots. I certainly think that a cruise to Alaska should be on everyone’s list. I also think that a trip through the Panama Canal is a must-see. But if I only had one place I could visit on a cruise I would have to say it would be the fjords of Norway.

When you think about it, the Panama Canal was a remarkable concept. Human beings took a look at strip of land that is 51 miles long and decided they could turn it into a waterway.

Celebrity Cruises has a reputation for delivering high-quality cruises. As a result, there cruises are often more expensive than their competitors. That is not the case for this 5-night Western Caribbean cruise aboard the Century. At $60/night for an Oceanview cabin, you would think that you would be cruising on one of those hulking ships that are lucky to still be afloat after all the rust they have accumulated over the years.

Who would have guessed that an animated movie about penguins in Antarctica would become a big hit in the United States?

Cruising is as much about eating as it is about anything else. When you are floating at sea and you have someone else cooking for you, the possibility that you will end up stuffing yourself silly is pretty great.
