Cruising China
This year, the number of international cruise passengers arriving in China’s ports is predicted to exceed 600,000: clearly, the region’s cruise sector is ready to launch.
Cruising Alaska
We’re cruising on Sea Princess and although we’re in the middle of a wonderful steak dinner, it’s difficult to focus on food when this kind of scenery is slipping past the windows. What stretches before our eyes is the vast wilderness of Alaska, an area twice the size of Texas, encompassing more than 76,000 kilometres of rugged shoreline and 21 million hectares of national parklands, reserves and monuments.
South Pacific Cruising
While the rest of the world was buried under volcanic ash or GFC gloom, the happy isles of Oceania were putting on a growth spurt. Or so it seems from the number of cruise ships aiming to base themselves here.
Eastern Mediterranean
The Eastern Mediterranean is one of the world’s most popular cruising regions for a reason: it is the access point for waterways such as the Bosphorus and Black Sea that link southern Europe’s great cities to exotic Russian and Middle Eastern ports. Words: David McGonigal.
