Gina's Cruise Guide

Who? You may enquire? Its a bit of a play on words I must admit, but I'm referring to my recent trip on Fred Olsen's Braemar (see previous blog ) and my visit to Rouen to see the fantastic Medieval Town and the resting place of history's Heroine, Joan of…

So as you know I have just returned from a very enjoyable mini cruise on the Braemar to France, and as part of the trip, we were treated to a day at the 83rd Le Mans 24Hr Endurance Race.  Now I have to say, I'm not known as, I think…

Well, thats my opinion turned on its head!  Just shows that preconceived ideas can be way off the mark when experiencing the real thing. I have just returned from a 5 day mini cruise on the Braemar, cruising to Le Havre from Dover, and along the Seine to Rouen, and…

  Only a few more sleeps before I head to Southampton for our Anniversary treat!  A cheeky 2 nighter on the wonderful Celebrity Eclipse! I am so giddy with excitement!  Having never experienced a Celebrity Cruise before, I am eagerly anticipating the delights awaiting me on board!     We could…

I'm back in my happy place – a Spa. Nothing relaxes me more than a self-indulgent trip to the Spa, whether I am at home, hunched over my computer booking cruises for my lovely clients, and most definitely when I am on holiday.. I always check out the Spa facilities, and…

I was invited to the Gala Launch party for Cruise & Maritime's latest ship the Magellan in Tilbury recently, and was very keen to see how she compared to the Britannia which I had spent a night on just the week before.  I have to say I was very pleasantly…
