I cover cruise news, ship reviews and buyer's guides across the lines we sell, working with our cruise specialists to ground each post in current itinerary detail and first-hand insight from the team. Personally, I've sailed with Celebrity Cruises (Athens to Istanbul on Celebrity Silhouette, with stops in Mykonos and Santorini, my favourite cruise so far) and with Virgin Voyages on Scarlet Lady, my preferred line for the included fare, food and hammock balconies. Australia is next on the bucket list.
