More than 50 years at sea
Our Cruise History
From classic ships of the 1970s to today’s ocean, river, luxury, expedition, and small-ship journeys, cruising has been part of our lives for more than five decades. This archive traces the voyages that shaped our experience—and the knowledge we now share with our clients.
Experience that works for you
What Decades of Cruising Mean for Our Clients
Our cruise history is more than a record of where we have traveled. Every voyage has helped us better understand the differences between cruise lines, ships, destinations, itineraries, service styles, and the many details that can shape a successful vacation.
Better Cruise Comparisons
We can explain how cruise lines and ships differ in atmosphere, dining, accommodations, entertainment, service, inclusions, and overall vacation style—not merely compare their brochures.
Firsthand Destination Context
Our travels provide practical context about ports, transfers, pre- and post-cruise stays, excursion pacing, weather, geography, and how an itinerary actually feels once underway.
Fewer Unwelcome Surprises
Experience helps us anticipate questions about cabin location, embarkation, transportation, onboard packages, accessibility, sea days, port time, and other details that can materially affect a trip.
We have not sailed every ship or experienced every itinerary, but
our broad cruise background helps us
ask better questions, recognize meaningful differences,
and recommend options with greater confidence.
Snapshots from Decades of Cruising
Experience Across Many Styles of Travel
Our cruise history is not just long—it is varied. These are just a few of the travel styles and destinations that help shape the perspective we bring to our clients.
Ocean Cruising
From classic ships to today’s ocean voyages
Mediterranean, Caribbean, Alaska, Northern Europe, South Pacific, transoceanic voyages and more.
River Cruising
River journeys through Europe and beyond
From the Rhine and Danube to more immersive small-ship journeys that bring the destination close.
Expedition Cruising
Polar, wildlife and remote expedition travel
Svalbard, Antarctica, Galapagos and other destinations where firsthand experience truly matters.
Hosted Travel
A history that continues today
We still travel often so our recommendations are grounded in current, personal experience.
