We’re cruise fans, and we’ve sailed on some 60+ cruises now. (Does that make us cruise connoisseurs?)
We’ve cruised aboard everything from deluxe riverboats on the Chobe and Nile rivers in Africa to large family-friendly ships in Alaska to sleek sailing yachts in the Caribbean and French Polynesia.
We’ve even sailed aboard a luxurious phinisi (traditional Indonesian sailing vessel), the Alila Purnama, operating as a liveaboard dive boat.

Here are some of our cruising articles, published in various travel magazines and newspapers…
