Cruising has always been one of my favourite ways to travel – whether it is the larger ocean-going ships, smaller expedition vessels or river cruising, I have experienced over time

a variety of cruises during my 30 years as a travel advisor.

Cruise companies are continuously coming up with interesting itineraries, fabulous dining options and excellent entertainment and activiites on board.

My favourite cruise to date has been on Silversea’s “Silver Discoverer” on Australia’s Kimberley coast. A smaller ship experience but truly an experience not to be missed!

As part of the MTA family, I am able to visit many of the cruise lines when their ships are in port to take part in ship inspections. This keeps me up to date with the latest refurbishments, dining options

And onboard facilities that are offered on the various cruise lines.

I recommend cruising to all ages, there is always something for everyone from the very young to our senior passengers.

It is a great way to take a break from our increasingly busy lives, celebrate a special occasion and have a family holiday.
