I love exploring new areas as well as returning to places that I’ve really enjoyed. For the last 10 years, I’ve cruised annually with 15 to 25 of our clients joining me and we’ve had a wonderful time. Everyone is very independent so we don’t operate as a group as such but there’s great camaraderie and a number of people have got to know each other well over the years.
I have the following fabulous cruises planned for 2022 and 2023; the day-by-day itineraries are attached and we’ll email you more information as soon as we know which trip you’re interested in:
21 August to 4 September 2022 – 14-day Legend of the Icelandic Sagas on the Seabourn Venture
VERY LIMITED AVAILABILITY
Circle Iceland’s coastal Viking heritage on a round-trip from Reykjavik and sail deep into Greenland’s towering, colourful fjords to where shining glaciers flow from alpine ranges. Enjoy an amphitheatre of mountains that encircle the greater Reykjavik area, boasting a coastline indented with coves, peninsulas and islands.
Accompanied by Seabourn’s excellent expedition team on this circumnavigation of Iceland, you’ll also cruise the best of the East Coast of Greenland. Scoresby Sound is spectacular and will blow you away, even those who have been to Antarctica. This is the largest Fjord system, much bigger than the Norwegian and Chilean Fjords, plus there is a good chance of seeing the Northern Lights.
This cruise is on the brand new Seabourn Venture with 264 guests.

I love cruising on a new ship and being on a brand-new cruise line, just takes everything to a whole new level. There is so much excitement after years of planning and it’s such a treat to be the first people to use everything onboard. I am SO excited about being on the maiden voyage for the Explora I and I do hope you’ll join me on 31 May 2023 as we cruise from Barcelona with stops in St. Tropez, Corsica, Rome, Kefalonia (Greece) and Istanbul before ending in Athens on 11 June.
