Around the World in Eight Photographs

For me, the ship has always truly been the destination. No matter where I am heading, I always say, fine, fine, but what about the ship?

But no matter which ship I take – be it a megaliner with thousands of passengers or an intimate river cruise ship that holds just a few hundred, I am always constantly amazed by the world around me – and by the variety of cruise destinations people can sail to.

So let’s go around the world – in eight photos!

“Still one of the best places in the world: at sea.”

You sure got that right, Aaron!

Someday, when I am significantly less young, I am going to move aboard a great cruise ship, permanently….re-write my Will to indicate that when the money runs out, I am to be thrown over the side (but PLEASE ensure the sea water is over 75F degrees!).

  I see we both have the same idea for our wills, Nicholas! No better place that at sea – something I know you can truly attest to.
