So, last week, we talked about Danube river cruises. Where to now? Let's hop over to the Baltic, an area my wife and I have now cruised perhaps eight times. The Baltic is, without doubt, full of some of the most interesting and culturally fascinating sights, and sites, and cities,…

It's the start of another year, my 40th in the travel industry, the last 24 in cruising. You really can't be in this business, travel as much as I have over the years, and not have mountains of memorable travel experiences. The question here is are you a "tick box"…

Thinking of taking a cruise this year? If so, the size of the ship you choose could be quite important to you.
