travel cruising the world

Taking a journey over water has, for me, always been an exciting experience whether it was a long cruise or a relatively short ferry crossing.
As Lynn and I get older we find we still want to see more and more places.... but work at it a little less.
We have found travelling by cruise ship services this purpose well.
Here are some of the trips over water that we have enjoyed....
