I have sailed on 130 cruises. Here are my 10 most unforgettable moments at sea (opens the original)
Read excerpt
From polar icebergs to Sydney Harbour, these are top cruise sights. Whoever thinks cruising isn't cool has never sailed on a ship with its own helicopter. Scenic Eclipse has two, turning any cruise into a James Bond adventure. During a voyage along WA's coast, I climbed aboard one of its sleek black helicopters and lifted off from the ship's helipad. Soaring across the Indian Ocean, spotting humpbacks below, we reached the Pinnacles in Nambung National Park. From the air, the thousands of limest

What does your money buy this wave season? We have the lowdown. With the cost of living squeezing holiday budgets, cruising can make the maths a little easier. Onboard accommodation, entertainment, meals and some non-alcoholic drinks are bundled into one fare, so you know upfront what your trip will cost. Over the next six months, between now and April, more ships are sailing along Australian shores compared to the handful in winter. This wider range greatly expands your options, from short brea
Aussies are heading to Vietnam in big numbers - and this is the best way to see it (opens the original)

The Mekong is a moving, living landscape that draws you into the scene. The best view of Vietnam is not from a hotel rooftop or mountain lookout. It's from a wicker chair on the foredeck of a river ship, directly outside the wheelhouse, where the captain is literally looking over my shoulder.

With no other boats churning the water, its surface is glassy, reflecting the silhouettes of

Look for a cruise with overnight stays and late departures. I wish more cruises had multiple overnight stays. It's not enough to have only one evening ashore, or none at all. So many places come alive after dark, when ships disappear. Think about the possibilities. A cruise is the ultimate way to do an international bar crawl. On a Danube river cruise, you could go to pubs in Amsterdam, Vienna, Bamberg, Budapest and Belgrade. On Virgin Voyages, you can party in Ibiza 'til dawn and spend an eveni
The unexpected vantage point that unlocks the world's best birdwatching (opens the original)
Read excerpt
From Norway to South Georgia, this high perch offers prime views for twitchers. Making eye contact with an albatross, flying almost within arm's reach, I wonder how else this experience could happen. Cruising along at the same pace, at the same height, we can look at each other side-by-side in a way that's only possible on a high deck of an expedition ship. I grin goofily, marvelling at this cool connection with a wild and free creature, wondering if he's thinking the same thing. It's a simple m
