STAFF PICKS

Michelle Sutton - Ponant, The Kimberleys

This was Michelle Sutton's first Expedition cruise and she is totally hooked on three things: Ponant, The Kimberley region and the explorative, physical, and educational style of expedition cruising. The ship was gorgeous, the French food and wine was delicious, the entertainment and activities were engaging, the scenery and wildlife was absolutely spectacular and the weather was perfect!

Donna - Oceania, Greek Isles & Aegean Sea

Donna's dream cruise would be one of Oceania's Greek Isles and Aegean Sea cruises. They have a number to choose from but the Athens to Istanbul, 10 days onboard Allura would have to be her top pick. Donna loves the country club casual vibe and style that Oceania exudes with their immersive cultural experiences, shore excursions and world-renowned cuisine.
