Table for 6000 please! How do cruise chefs pull it off?
I have to say that one of the best parts of cruising is the amazing food on offer. My son is a chef and works in a busy restaurant and I know the challenges that the chefs face to cater for a full restaurant on a busy night. They have to plan how much produce […]
Read MoreHow will Cuba fare with the invasion of the Americans?
Until this year very few cruise lines have been allowed to call in to Cuba, but after a warming of relations since the Cold War a recent political agreement between Cuba and the U.S. means that this is all about to change. Airlines and cruise lines from the U.S. have been granted permission to transport […]
Read MoreWhy Is Norway Blowing Up Its Fjords?
If I had 260 million quid just floating around burning a hole in my pocket what I would consider spending it on? Maybe my very own deserted island somewhere hot and sunny? Possibly a large luxurious yacht to take me sailing around the world? I could get my very own private jet to whisk me […]
Read MoreWe’re Turning Japanese!
Over the last couple of years we have seen a huge rise in the number of people booking cruises that visit Japan. Maybe it’s the fact that many people have done the Mediterranean & Caribbean itineraries and are now wanting to look at somewhere different or whether a certain Joanna Lumley has prompted people’s interest […]

One of the perks of my job is getting to see brand spanking new ships. I am lucky enough to have won a place on the new Majestic Princess’s first sailing on the 31st of March & this is going to be my first Princess cruise. I had a lovely Caribbean cruise booked on the Sea […]

They received an early booking discount from Royal Caribbean (plus free parking from ourselves) and were outraged when RCI decided to announce they were now including […]
Read MoreWhat to do in Le Havre?
Mini cruises are increasing in popularity. Once marketed to people who had yet to try a cruise holiday as a ‘taster cruise’ we are seeing more and more people travelling on them for celebrations, to sample a brand new ship or just have a luxury weekend away. Due to the proximity to the UK, on […]
Read MoreNice To Meet You Fred
We have just returned from our Cruise.co.uk annual conference and I have to say that a good time was had by all. We were hosted this year by Fred Olsen on the Boudicca. This was my first cruise with Fred’s so I was looking forward to see the comparison to the other ships I’ve been […]
Read MoreFred Olsen – Are you ready for the invasion of Cruisedot?
It’s almost time for the event of the year (in the world of cruise.co.uk at least). It’s nearly time for our Christmas party/conference! As the majority of our staff are homeworkers it’s a great chance to get together with colleagues old and new for a review of our business (which despite all the doom & […]
