Aurora Borealis Cruises
The only real way to see the Northern Lights is by cruise. One of the natural wonders of the world, also known as ‘Aurora Borealis’, the lights occur during the winter months throwing colourful bands of light across the sky. The phenomenon is a sight that will stay with you for the rest of your life and people return to see them every year. The aura season runs from early October to late March, but they are notoriously unpredictable, so do some research to avoid disappointment. There are several cruise forums, including CruiseLineFans, which will provide you with up-to-date reviews... Continue reading

Whisky cruises!
A couple of news reports about a very interesting cruise - DFDS was offering a whisky cruise to Scotland for Belgian lovers of the uisge beatha (that's Gaelic for whisky by the way). It may seem surprising that these cruises were so popular with the Belgian public but it makes perfect sense when you think about it: the two small nations of Belgium and Scotland have a lot in common - and both share growing respective repututions within the food and drinks worlds. And of course Belgian beer is loved all over the UK, so there's a bit of reciprocal... Continue reading

We wish you a ferry Christmas
There are plenty of options for a winter break, but few are as tempting as the chance to wander round a Christmas market in one of Europe's amazing cities. The medieval splendour of cities like Hamelin or Bruges just can't be beat during the Christmas season. Pack a fleece, and make room also for all the brilliant presents you'll be able to buy - and see what ferry deals are on offer to take advantage of Europe at this time of year. This video shows some of the Bruges Christmas market, (but sadly none of the amazing city backdrop). Continue reading

Amsterdam Flower Market
I love how a lot of stuff in European countries isn't corporatised, so markets of every kind seem to do really well. The big thing in Holland is flowers - all that flat land must make them easier to grow, maybe? Interesting report here: Continue reading

The Renfrew Ferry
Well it looks like time is up for the Renfrew Ferry. This lovely way of traversing the Clyde will come to an end in March 2010, according to Strathclyde Passenger Transport, the current operators. The ferry has been in operation for more than 200 years and was only remaining one anywhere near the city centre. But in recent years the volume of traffic had lowered considerably in recent years and it was felt that it couldn't continue without complete public subsidy. I think its a shame that people always seem to be in such a rush these days that they... Continue reading
