The Ocean View - Winter 203/24

Cruise Circle's The Ocean View publication

THE OCEAN VIEW WINTER 2023/24 EDITION 24 PAGES OF EXCITING TRAVEL IDEAS Norwegian Fjords, The Far East, Australia, Caribbean, Alaska, Rhine, Rhône and more


Welcome to the Winter 2023/24 editi on of The Ocean View. I trust this fi nds you safe and well. Looking back on the year gone by, both the Cruise Circle team and you lovely bunch of cruisers sati sfi ed our mutual wanderlust by travelling to old favourites, like the Mediterranean and Caribbean, with some new experiences mixed in for good measure - Bangkok and Dubrovnik were fi rsts for two of our team. As cruising conti nues to rise in popularity there were a number of new ship launches and, as ever, to carry out research for our customers we embarked on plenty of ship visits, including Ambassador’s Ambiti on, Royal Caribbean’s Symphony of The Seas and Fred. Olsen’s Balmoral. Now, looking forward to the year ahead, the investment in technology from cruise lines conti nues unabated. Sustainability is undoubtedly a key theme - we’re seeing increased use of LNG (Liquifi ed Natural Gas) and other renewable/sustainable fuels explored, with increasing numbers of ports off ering plug-in shoreside power. From a guest experience perspecti ve there are improvements in Wi-Fi (using Elon Musk’s Starlink) and other digital advancements like contactless check-in via wearable devices. On a more practi cal note for 2024, driven by a combinati on of increasing popularity and earlier planning than previous years, we’re anti cipati ng a ‘race for space’ to secure the best cabins (parti cularly evident for the Mediterranean). Flight prices were at an all ti me high for Europe in 2023, so to help your wallet and avoid disappointment it is our strong recommendati on to get your bookings in as soon as you can. We look forward to sharing a great 2024 with you.

I had almost given up. The excursion had promised snorkelling with turtles but aft er 20 minutes in the water there’d been neither sight nor sign. I was heading back to the boat when, jackpot! I spy three turtles below me, grazing on seaweed and oblivious to this strange creature fl oati ng above them and grinning as best one can without drowning when wearing a snorkel and mask. Suddenly a turtle breaks rank and swims to the surface, passing so close I could have reached out and touched it. Cruising in the Caribbean is full of such unforgett able moments. On that same trip I visited big islands and small, lazed on sandy beaches, hiked to a fort on Pigeon Island in St Lucia the Briti sh built to spy on their French neighbours in Marti nique and downed $1 beers at Ezra’s Coconut Bar & Grill (actually more a beach shack!) while the eponymous Ezra put the world to rights. On other cruises. I’ve been all shook up on a former sugar cane train in St Kitt s (the payback is great views and free rum punches!), whirled and twirled through river rapids a big rubber ring in Dominica and climbed a waterfall in Jamaica (not as easy as it sounds). And all the while, the sun has been shining, the sky has been blue and the sea an inviti ng playground for swimming, snorkelling and sailing. No wonder a return is top of my escape list as the grey chill of the UK winter sets in. CARIBBEAN DREAMING Jane Archer is a leading UK Cruise Journalist and infl uencer.
