Stepping out of my comfort zone!
Well, this time next week I will be on a train heading for Newcastle with my colleague Holly to embark on one of my favourite ships, Fred Olsen Balmoral for our five night trip to the Fjords. I am so excited as I have wanted to visit the Fjords for a long time. Clients tell […]
Read MoreHow Many River Cruise Ships?!!
A river ship isn’t just a river ship you know. Well not if it’s a Viking river cruise ship it isn’t, and it is this that sets Viking apart from all the other river cruise lines. Their fleet is now over 60 ships, sailing rivers all over the world, and each ship is designed especially […]
Read More“Get me to the church on time!”
Well not actually me as I am not the main attraction but I do have a fairly important role to play. I am so thrilled to finally be able to tell you all that my daughter and her partner of almost 10 years have recently become engaged. I have sort of been expecting the news […]
Read MoreViking River Cruises – Award Winning Food!
Knowing that river cruise ships are much smaller and given that the facilities are smaller, you might be forgiven for thinking that the food on board is going to be nowhere as good, or varied, as on an ocean cruise, you would be wrong! I must admit, having seen the size of the galley on […]

Well there I was all set to tell you about the highlight of any cruisers year, the upcoming launch of 2019/20 itineraries when I had a message from an old school friend telling me about a fab day out she had recently at the V&A museum in London. I just had to share it with […]

Read MoreWill Balmoral be as good as I remember?
It is just over eight years since this photo was taken, frightening really as it really doesn’t seem that long. Myself and the Wilsonette’s spent eight nights on board Balmoral visiting the Christmas Markets in various cities in Northern Europe, and what a fabulous time we had, along with my colleague Louise and her Mom.

Read MoreHappy New Year! What will 2018 have in store for us all?
Well that’s Christmas over for another twelve months so we can all breath a collective sigh of relief. I must admit that my tree and all my decorations are down already and I am looking forward to seeing what 2018 has to offer. 2017 has been a busy year with lots of new ships and […]
