17 Experiences You Can’t Not Have Done In Your Lifetime

The bucket list. How many things do we actually tick off? We either make one too adventurous that leads to an inevitable anti-climax when five years later you didn’t quite manage to climb Mount Everest by yourself, or we are too realistic and the things on the list weren’t that hard to achieve in the first place (you did actually manage to find your way to Buckingham Palace after all). Sure, a lot of us would love to say we’ve walked the Great Wall of China or gone ice skating at the Rockefeller Centre in New York at Christmas,...

Eight Things You Didn’t Know You Could Do In The Caribbean

This is perhaps the dreamiest destination for photo aesthetics, beach days and all your Instagram points, but don’t assume everything is just ordinary when it comes to the Caribbean. Yes, it might have an average of 340 sunny days a year (our jealousy has just gone through the roof), but it’s not only limited to its white sands and kaleidoscope of blues that connect the sea and the sky to create that never ending horizon. That’s why we’ve put together eight things you never would’ve thought you could do in the Caribbean. Think unsolved epitaphs, Bob Marley themed wallpaper and pigs...

Cruise Lines Respond To Zika Virus Panic

You may have heard in recent weeks about the Zika virus which is affecting pregnant women and causing babies to be born with shrunken heads and brains. The virus has made headlines after the World Health Organisation predicted up to four million people could become infected by it. Thousands of children have been infected by the virus in Brazil so far and it has now spread to over twenty countries including The Dominican Republic, Haiti and Barbados. It has spread relatively quickly as it is passed on by mosquitoes. The virus currently has no cure and mosquito prevention (such as using DEET and covering up skin) is the only deterrent. Anyone can be infected by the virus, and symptoms can include those similar to dengue fever (although milder) and include a mild fever, head ache, joint pain and a rash. It is not normally serious and some people will have no symptoms at all. However, when Zika infects pregnant mothers the infection causes foetus’ not to develop properly. It is thought that the children born with shrunken heads will have severe mental disabilities. The elderly and those with compromised immune systems are also at much higher risk from the virus. Whilst women can only travel for up to 24 weeks of their pregnancy on-board most cruise lines, travelling to countries on a cruise which are affected by this...
