We've been to Russia twice now. Our first visit in 2007 was a wonderful cruise from Moscow to St Petersburg, and we managed to return in 2011 for a longer cruise from St Petersburg to Astrakhan and Rostov-on-Don. We've written lots about the two visits, the cruises and the places we visited - and there lots of fabulous pictures for you to enjoy.

In 2003 we went on our trip-of-a-lifetime cruise to the last unspoiled place on planet Earth, the great white continent of Antarctica. The wildlife, the scenery, the whole experience: it was absolutely fantastic. I've just finished putting a brief summary of the trip here on the website: have a look, I think you'll find it fascinating. Again, here are just 5 pictures to whet your appetite.

Do you like these pictures? I took over a thousand pictures in Antarctica - after all, I don't expect I'll get the chance to go back and take any more - and I've collected the 120 best with our log of the trip for you to see.
After Norway we decided that we liked cruising the fjords, so we celebrated our Silver Wedding in 2001 with another fjord cruise, this time off the spectacular coast of Alaska. Yet again here are 5 pictures to tempt you to read the full account of the trip

Once again here are 5 pictures to tempt you to read the full account of the trip
