Port Guide: Skagen
On my Baltic cruise Skagen was the last port of call. A port where I didn’t know what to expect as it was not a part of Denmark I’d heard of. Most people will recognise the name Skagen from the brand of watches. Skagen is Denmark’s main fishing port which you are able to see… Continue reading Port Guide: Skagen
Port Guide: Tallinn
Tallinn was a port of call for me where I had no expectations as it was somewhere that I’d never thought of visiting. As a city it really surprised me as it was beautiful especially the old town area. The walk to old town from the port is approximately 20 minutes. We decided on getting… Continue reading Port Guide: Tallinn

After booking the cruise it is important to do some research… Continue reading Should you book a Shore Excursion on a Cruise?
Is Cruising for Older People Only?
When I say I’m doing a cruise or I’ve been on a cruise I quite often get the question, is it not full of older people? The answer to that is no it’s not, quite the opposite as there is always a mixed age group on the cruises that I’ve done in the past. A… Continue reading Is Cruising for Older People Only?
Cruise or Land Trip
A lot of people ask why I love cruises so much and the answer is simply they give you a different experience to a land trip. Each type of trip has its good and bad points but they are each better in their own way. I’ve found that cruises have given me the perfect chance… Continue reading Cruise or Land Trip

The ship offered passengers the chance to buy a ticket for a shuttle bus to Old Town for $15 per person but we chose not to get a ticket. Once we docked at… Continue reading Dubrovnik: A Cruise Port Guide
