Cruising is one of my favourite ways to travel. It brings the world to you as you explore incredible new destinations from the comfort of your very own room!

The hardest part is deciding where to go on your cruising holiday and so we’ve teamed up with Planet Cruise to share our top 5 dream cruise destinations around the world

We’ve just finished a week sailing around Croatia with MedSailors, a sailing company owned by 3 Kiwis who run group sailing holidays around Croatia, Turkey and Greece for 20-35 year olds! It was our first experience sailing and I’m happy to say it was one of the most incredible weeks travelling we’ve had in all our years of traipsing around the world. As an Aussie I gravitate towards the sunshine, salt, sand and sea and after two years in the UK I was in serious…
Our trip home to Australia this year was in prime whale watching season. Beautiful humpback whales migrate along the East Coast of Australia every year and we are truly lucky to be able to see these magnificent creatures in the wild most days whilst we were there. My parents also surprised us with a whale watching cruise which was certainly a highlight of our trip! One of the best spots in Port Macquarie to see the whales is from Tacking Point Lighthouse. We spent a…
My mermaid pals & I treated ourselves to a P&O South Pacific Cruise for our University graduation present to ourselves and spent two weeks cruising the South Pacific. Whilst we enjoyed living in luxury on sea days, we LOVED exploring Vanuatu and New Caledonia, with stops in beautiful Santo, Champagne Bay, Port Vila, Wala and Noumea. The South Pacific is truly one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. Want to read more about our South Pacific adventures? Champagne Bay, Santo, Wala & Port Vila. To see more…
Our second last stop whilst cruising the South Pacific was Port Vila in Vanuatu. I was devastated to hear about the Cyclone that hit Vanuatu last month because Port Vila was one of our favourite stops, the people were so kind and the place so incredibly beautiful. We found it hilarious from the moment we walked off the ship to see hundreds of taxis lined up along the road yelling out prices and deals and trying to get us to go with them for the…
Santo was going to be hard to beat, but as soon as we peeked out the window after waking up anchored just off Champagne Bay, we knew we were in P A R A D I S E! Champagne Bay is tucked away on the North East coast of the island of Santo in Vanuatu. As there is no big port for cruise ships to pull into you take a short tender boat ride to shore. A wide bay boasting pristine, white sand with the…
My mermaid pals & I treated ourselves to a P&O South Pacific Cruise for our graduation present to ourselves and stunning Santo was our first stop… We docked into Santo on New Years Day and with slightly sore heads from the night before jumped in a local taxi bound for the famous Nanda Blue Hole. The blue hole is breathtaking. Located in the middle of the island, surrounded by tropical rainforest and the most stunning colour of blue, we couldn’t help ourselves but jump straight…
Beautiful Wala is remote tropical island at its best. How lucky were we that our table at breakfast overlooked this incredible view and to say that we were excited for a another day of island adventures would certainly be an understatement! As we sat happily in the sunshine eating breakfast, we stuffed ourselves silly with delicious food to prepare ourselves for another big day of sun, sand & water! A short tender ride & we landed on the hot sand of Wala only to be…
New York City was as exciting, glamorous and absolutely fabulous as I’d always hoped! We jumped at the opportunity to take a luxury sunset cocktail cruise on a beautiful schooner yacht that cruised along the Hudson taking in all that the New York City skyline had to offer. It was simply perfect as we sailed along with cocktails in hand watching the sunset.
