Know before you go – great cruising tips
The next few days are going to be busy for me. I’m going to be talking at World Travel Market in the WTM & Travel Perspective session about working with brands in a digital world, all about my experience of working on the Sainsbury’s advert, and also about the Samsung ‘People of Note’ campaign.
But before that, this Sunday I’m going to be taking part in the National Geographic Traveller ‘No Fly Zone’ panel discussion at the Family Travel Show, which takes place this weekend at Olympia. We’ll be discussing everything to do with travelling abroad whilst avoiding flying. There’ll be all sorts of suggestions and helpful tips about the advantages and opportunities that travelling without flying can bring: where you can go, what you can do, who to book with, and much more. I’ll be chatting about my favourite no-fly destinations and giving advice about everything from Greek island hopping and transatlantic cruise crossings to Disney Cruise Line’s new Iceland and Norway cruises from Dover in 2016.
Next up, I’m teaming up with Charlotte Mendoza from Carnival to chat ‘new to cruise’. If you’re coming along, you’ll hear us give you loads of information about cruising for the first time, as well as addressing loads of questions that new cruisers often have, everything from ‘how do I pay for stuff on board’ to ‘will I have to tip?’ and even ‘will I be seasick?’!

Lovely Tom Burke from Tom’s Cruise Blog, who has been on masses of cruises and basically knows everything you could possibly need to know, has written a brilliant ‘know before you go’ cruise guide on the LV= @heart website, with advice on everything from choosing the perfect cruise for you, to what to expect once you get on board. If you’re considering cruising, it’s an absolute must-read.
Great tips. I was planning to take one in the new year. It’s been a long term wish to go on a cruise, one which is finally gonna get fulfilled in the coming year. Saw some great options from Blount Small Ship ( Montreal ). Eagerly looking forward to it.
