A Lifetime of Cruising. A Library of Stories.
Cruising has been part of our lives since Suzanne’s first voyage aboard Bon Vivant in 1975. Over the decades, our travels have expanded to include ocean cruises, river journeys, luxury ships, expedition voyages, hosted groups, and extended adventures around the world.
Our complete chronological cruise history now lives on our CruiseOne website, while Cruise Talk remains home to the personal stories, photographs, reviews, and observations collected along the way.

Each site now has a clear purpose, making the information easier to explore and much easier for us to keep current.
