…of places like the Faroe Islands and the Shetlands, and discovered magical new places that I never expected to see. I went on an Asia cruise largely because I wanted to get to Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Singapore, but we ended up going to places like Langkawi, Borneo, and Ho Chi Minh city, which I had never thought of going to. So cruising really does allow you to discover and experience surprising, unexpected places you never considered. There are…

…ural centre in New York and here’s where you’ll hear more classical music. Newer ships On the newer ships, they also have the Rolling Stone Rock Room which, as the name suggests, is rock music.

In a…

CDC Context On the other hand as I discuss this new framework, and the likely time scales for cruising, it is important to remember that the CDC remains hostile towards cruising and its resumption.

…to join an Oceania Cruise were cancelled at short notice, she had to find new flights to get me there on time. This was via Madrid on Iberia, which cost more, but not for me as the package requires them to get me there on time. If I had booked myself that would not have been the case. So, check if you use an agent instead of the line if that will be the case too. Book A “Guaranteed Cabin” Cabin choice is very personal, and while your decision mus…
