Alaska demands a very different kind of ship — and Celebrity Solstice might surprise you. After 14 nights onboard post-refurbishment, I break down the five factors that matter most for an Alaska cruise, and give you my honest verdict on whether Solstice earns its place on this itinerary.

I sailed on one of the world’s newest cruise ships - the first ever Sphere Class vessel, Sun Princess. Read my short review for the low-down.

Witness 5000 years of history, culture and art in the openness of the outdoors in the incredible gallery of Swift Bay.

A sanctuary for birds in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Just us, the birds, and the Australian Border Force.

If it’s crocodiles you’re after, then look no further than the incredible Hunter River - at low tide.

The tides in the Kimberley are some of the strongest on the planet - and there’s no better place to see them in action than the site of the horizontal falls.

A waterfall in the ocean. A billion litres of water escaping from a reef that doesn’t exist, until the tide says that it does.

THIS is the Kimberley. Stunning rock faces, cliffs, precarious overhangs, crocodiles and waterfalls. Oh, and champagne.

Today, we witnessed the magic of the Kimberley from the sky.

An introduction to the cruise of a lifetime.
