I Discovered That Cruising South America Is Unpredictable

…the seas were rougher than I had expected. Although people were expecting Cape Horn to be bumpy, it was bumpy from the minute we left Valparaíso and stayed bumpy most of the way. The open decks were often closed due to the wind, including for Cape Horn scenic cruising. The bumpiness of the sea meant that the production shows were cancelled on two of the nights. Wind also impacted excursions. In Punta Arenas I had booked a boat excursion to Magdal…

My Story: 6 Things You Didn’t Know About Gary Bembridge

…burg for 4 years for Unilever. The craziest thing was that I never went to Cape Town during the 7 years I was in South Africa. I only went years after leaving. This was just pure madness, as Cape Town is probably one of the more beautiful city destinations in the world, and is one of my favourite places. It proved to me that you MUST explore the country around you before you think about going abroad, so you do not miss what is on your doorstep. Me…

ATHENS: GRECOTEL CAPE SOUNIO HOTEL (ATHENS, GREECE)

The hotel is on a small natural bay and looks directly across to the ruins of the still i…

Daily Twists & Turns: My 18 Day Expedition Cruise Around Greenland

…across Baffin Bay we visited Ilulissat, one of the best-known and visited towns in Greenland. I had no idea there was a UNESCO World Heritage Site here, and just how remarkable a sight it was. After a short zodiac ride into the town, past the first and only other cruise ship I’d seen on the trip so far, we entered the picturesque harbour jam packed with small fishing boats. I jumped on the cruise line’s bus transfers to the Isfjord Visitor centre…

…tone lanes and narrow alleyways and medieval houses. You also can tour the town square, town walls and the famous St. Olaf church and tower. It was one of the tallest buildings in the world when it was first built back in the 1500s. The Old Town is usually busy because it is where all the tourists focus on. If you get a chance, I recommend you go out to Kadriorg. It’s about 2 kilometers east of the center of the city and is a former palace of Pete…
