If you want to get cruising right, my Tips For Travellers makes it fun and easy to discover, plan and enjoy an incredible cruise vacation every time.
There are so many choices that have to be made at every stage of your cruise vacation. If you make the wrong choices, like I have done in the past, you and your family won’t have that incredible experience you are dreaming of.
I learnt that enjoyable and memorable cruise vacations don’t happen by chance. They are made and crafted through being well-informed, and then making intelligent choices at every single stage.
That’s why, I set up Tips For Travellers to help travellers who want to get cruising right, the advice, tips and tricks to make it easier to plan and have a memorable experience every time. All my tips draw on everything that I have learnt on the 95 cruises I have done to date.
If you want to get cruising right, subscribe and start making it easier to have those incredible cruise experiences you dream of right now.
From Tips For Travellers. I’ve recently been following several cruise-gone-wrong sagas that inspired me to make this.

From Tips For Travellers. A drinks package can easily add $1,000 or more to the cost of your seven-night cruise. They’ve become popular and cruise lines push cruisers hard to buy them, arguing they’re great value, but are they really? And who exactly should, and should not, be buying them and why? I highlight how…

From Tips For Travellers. Over the years I’ve been cruising, I have made many mistakes, but thanks to other cruisers I’ve met along the way, they suggested various tools, sites, and apps that helped make sure I avoided making those – and other – mistakes again. So, I’d like to share those that I use…

From Tips For Travellers. I noticed that more cruisers than ever are staying on board their cruise ship rather than getting off in ports to self-explore or go on excursions. With many changes in ports and on ships in recent years, I too have started remaining on board in more ports too. There were even…

From Tips For Travellers.

From Tips For Travellers. Looking at reviews before heading off on Seabourn Venture, one of the new expedition ships from the ultra-luxury Seabourn line, I was concerned when I saw recent reviews calling it disappointing, saying it had unappealing food, the entertainment was abysmal, and the decor felt downscale versus other Seabourn ships. This is…

From Tips For Travellers. I decided to see how today’s travellers spending their own hard-earned money river cruising in Europe are rating the lines on review sites.

From Tips For Travellers. It feels to me like the world is getting smaller for cruise passengers. I keep seeing reports of yet another port banning, reducing how many ships or the size of ships that can call there. And even in ports without cruise restrictions, more locals seem to be protesting about cruise passengers…
