Cruising Alaska with Oceania Cruises

Cruises, Destinations, North America

Embarking in Vancouver on Oceania Regatta was a pleasant surprise with no lines or crowds. We simply walked onboard and were escorted to our luxurious stateroom. Regatta is a stunning small ship with only 670 guests and 400 crew members. The gourmet restaurants aboard Regattta are all complimentary with open seating in the Grand Dining Room and Terrace Café and reservations offered for the Specialty Restaurants, Toscana and Polo Grill. The cuisine and service in all of the restaurants was superb. Afternoon Tea was a delight with a string quartet playing softly and a beautiful presentation of finger sandwiches, petits fours, scones & desserts. Evening entertainment is continuously changing with production shows, talented vocalists, classical and jazz music and the Monte Carlo-style Casino.

My Disneyland Paris and Normandy River Cruise

Destinations, Europe, River Cruises

My visit to Disneyland Paris was magical, blending the charm of Disney with the elegance of French culture. From the moment I walked down Main Street, U.S.A. and caught sight of Sleeping Beauty Castle, I was swept into a world of fantasy. The castle itself, with its unique French design and the dragon lurking underneath, felt like a fairytale come to life. Continuing down the path to It’s a Small World brought back all the memories from my childhood adventures at Disneyland California. I can never tire of that ride.

Uniworld Mekong Cambodia Vietnam

Timeless Wonders of Vietnam, Cambodia, and the Mekong River with Uniworld

Asia, River Cruises

I recently cruised the Mekong River with Uniworld River Cruises. The Uniworld brochure’s first paragraph about this trip states, “Two of the most beautiful, historic, and friendly places in all of Asia, dynamic Vietnam and pastoral Cambodia, are intriguing studies in contrast. Each possesses its own unique charm and social traditions, its own tragic history and complex past.” This is so true and so much more.
