Cruise
I took my first cruise in 2007 and have enjoyed nearly 20 other voyages since, on ships ranging from the 49-passenger Hebridean Princess to P&O Cruises’ 3,078-passenger Ventura. Since my maiden voyage, the cruise industry has achieved sustained growth, weathering the global recession with aplomb, and is arguably one of the most exciting and innovative sections of the travel industry with which to be involved.
In addition to writing features for national newspapers and magazines about my cruising adventures, I provide a more irreverent view on cruising in my regular column in Cruise International magazine, the ‘Accidental Cruiser’.
