Tips for Travellers Upcoming Cruises – What Cruises will I be on?
Below is a list of the upcoming cruises that I am booked to sail on. If you want to see me on board and catch up, this is where you will find me. As I get asked often, I’ll clarify that I booked and paid for all trips you see below unless stated with *** which indicates I was invited by the cruise line, who then covered some or all of the cruise fare.
I book my classic ocean and river cruises via Sarah Bolton of Travel Counsellors. So, if you are based in the UK, feel free to contact her to handle your next cruise holiday. If you are in the United States I can suggest Gary Pluck of Travel by Red and Walter Biscardi of Where’s Walter Travel. If in Australia then I can suggest Jake Hower. Note: I get no benefit or commission if you do book with any of them and I recommend them based on my personal experience and those of people who follow the channel.
Make sure you check this page often, as I am in the process of arranging some exciting future group cruises! Watch this space …
