Welcome! We are excited to share the world with you through our stories, experiences, insider advice, and adventures. We hope to inspire you to dream of some amazing places, unique itineraries, and new opportunities.
Traveling is a transformational experience. It takes us to new places physically but also changes us in ways we don’t always notice. It opens our minds to new ideas, new experiences, people who do things differently, and food and drink that are fun and exciting. Every trip we take, every person we meet, and every place we visit gives us back so much. We are excited to share that with you through our storytelling, and the vacations we plan for you.
Ship Tour - Oceania Regatta
I recently had the pleasure to tour the m/s Regatta, and enjoy lunch aboard in the Grand Dining Room with Adele and some other Travel Industry Professionals. When launched in 2002, Oceania Cruises, founded by industry veterans Joe Watters and Frank Del Rio, created a new category in cruising - and called it Deluxe cruising. The idea was to fill a missing niche between Premium (Holland America, Celebrity, etc.) and Luxury (Crystal Cruises, Regent, etc.).
Ship Tour - Silver Shadow
January and February of each year, some of the world’s finest cruise ships travel through the ports of Los Angeles and San Diego as they begin their World Cruise Programs. These cruises range from 119 days to as much as 163 days, visiting exotic ports of call, carrying internationally known lecturers and experts of all kinds and circumnavigate the globe, ending in London, New York, Miami or Los Angeles. When these amazing ships and their worldly guests come through Los Angeles we try to get out and see them, as they are not on the West Coast of the US often.
Ketchikan and the Misty Fjords
Today we arrived in the early morning and had a great view of the town as we arrived from our balcony. There is nothing better on an Alaska Cruise than a balcony cabin! Almost every morning we order coffee and croissants from room service and just sit an enjoy the scenery as we awaken and prepare for the day. Many cruises is is not as big a deal, but for Alaska you are almost always close to land and the spectacular scenery.
