Cruise Weekly Comment: Galápagos
Cruise Weekly – Comment by Roderick Eime You’ve heard me say it before; expedition cruising is about exploring our vanishing planet. Apart from the well-publicised melting of the polar ice cap, wildlife, cultures and landscapes elsewhere are also threatened by changing climate, globalisation and mismanagement. Recent news from the Galápagos Islands of Ecuador indicates they […]

Cruise Weekly Comment: Antarctica
Cruise Weekly – Comment by Roderick Eime It’s becoming cliché to call Antarctica the planet’s last wilderness adventure, but it’s almost certainly still true. The doddle over the Drake Passage from Tierra del Fuego is nearly a commute for the 20-plus vessels that ply the relatively calm waters of the Peninsula each year. So now […]
Cruise Weekly Comment: Giving Back
Cruise Weekly – Comment by Roderick Eime Expedition and adventure cruising is all about rewarding and enriching experiences and one of the best examples is giving back to the tiny remote communities you visit.

Cruise Weekly – Comment by Roderick Eime I must admit that news of a second helicopter crash in the Kimberley inside two weeks has given me some goose bumps.

Lamenting with a good friend who was just back from a stint as expedition leader, we discussed some of the people we had both encountered over years of adventure cruising. Expedition cruising is a niche product and it just […]
Cruise Weekly Comment: PNG
Cruise Weekly – Comment by Roderick Eime If ever there was a destination perfect for adventure and expedition cruising, it would have to be Papua New Guinea.

Cruise Weekly – Comment by Roderick Eime I’m almost embarrassed to say it has taken me this long to get to the Kimberley. Such is the demand for Australia’s premier adventure cruise destination that passengers are having to book many months, sometimes years ahead. I’ve just spent six days aboard the multi-award-winning, True North, an […]

Centre stage are the majestic polar bears whose northern kingdom is […]
