We are John and Sally, two travelers who discovered the ultimate way to see the world: by cruise ship.
For us, cruising isn’t just a vacation—it’s a lifestyle. There’s nothing quite like the rhythm of life at sea, where the journey itself is as rewarding as the destinations. We thrive on the unique combination of waking up to a new horizon, unpacking only once, and having the luxury of time to fully immerse ourselves in different cultures across the globe.
Our blog is dedicated to the magic of the long cruise. From grand Around the World voyages to multi-month deep dives into regions like the Pacific and South America, we seek out the epic itineraries that connect continents. We love the feeling of truly crossing an ocean, experiencing the vastness of the sea, and watching the ship transition from bustling European ports to tranquil tropical islands.
Join us as we share our logs, advice, and perspectives from a decade of sailing the seven seas. If you dream of trading in your passport for a permanent sea pass, you’ve come to the right place!
