Everything you need to know about taking a cruise

I have spent years going on cruises, talking about cruises, writing about cruises and working with friends in the cruise industry.

At this moment, cruising is just beginning to make small waves with some smaller ships beginning cruise itineraries in smaller locations or “cruise bubbles” sailing around single countries.

New Zealand is one of the many countries begging their governments to allow for this part of the tourism sector to reopen and there are currently some itineraries scheduled for domestic itineraries from January 2021.

You’ll find tons of articles on here about various aspects of cruising from tips for packing, cruise line reviews, what to expect, who cruises are best suited to, the differences in ships and itineraries…

But until now you had to go searching for it. Big time waster I know!

I have over 30 posts on cruising on this blog, but below I have selected my 8 top cruise posts to help you answer all your cruise questions and link you to various in-depth articles so you can spend more time dreaming of sipping your cocktail with a dinky umbrella on the pool deck than trawling through the internet for advice!
