Welcome to Australia

Some of the biggest cruise ships afloat will call Australia home during the 2012-13 cruise season. More ships than ever will be based here, often circumnavigating the continent as well as sailing across the Tasman to New Zealand, offering diverse sightseeing in ports and onboard attractions to whet our ever-growing appetite for cruising local waters.

I was turning 80 in January 2011 and wanted something different for my OBE (Over Bloody Eighty) celebration and thought I would invite a number of our friends to join me on a river cruise on the Swan River.

Crystal clearly state of the art

As the new MS Scenic Crystal moved through one of the many locks on the Moselle River near the confluence of the Rhine at Koblenz in Germany, a solemn acknowledgment of Anzac Day took place.

Wellington, New Zealand. I've arrived at the dockside in drizzle to board Sea Princess. As I look up at the white hull, a haven of comfort, I feel a tug of excitement. This beats working.

Relive Titanic's last hours on Earnslaw

The South Island of New Zealand may be a world away from the transatlantic scene of the Titanic's first and only voyage but an elegant vessel built in the same year as the lost giant is keeping the golden era of steamship travel alive on glacial Lake Wakatipu near Queenstown.
