And I've wanted another cruise since I retired but the finances, covid, my health and everything else, made choosing very complicated. I can't fly/cruise because I need to take quite a bit of stuff to cope with my disability. I saw a cruise to Canada, the North West Passage, Greenland and Iceland which I really fancied but at the time I couldn't get all the ducks into a row. And it hasn't been offered since.
But it made me think about visiting the Arctic Circle. And when I saw a cruise advertised to see the coast of Norway and sail to at least 78 degrees north, I decided to go. (The Arctic Circle is 66 degrees north.) I've lived in the tropics: now I want to go as far north of the equator as I can.
It's not until 2027 so I have a lot of time to feel excited. The anticipation will help my wintering.
(And yes, I do realise that the clip art is of the Antarctic, not the Arctic! But I liked it.)
Oooooh - very exciting!
ReplyDeleteIt is. I am!
DeleteWonderful! A couple in our village did the AC cruise recently and greatly enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to it!
DeleteI've never cruised, just don't fancy a holiday aboard a ship, but a trip to artic regions, fjords, that could change my mind. Enjoy dreaming about your trip, it sounds fun.
ReplyDeleteI thought I wouldn't like it until I went as carer for a disabled person and I loved it.
DeleteWonderful! Are you going with Saga? They are very experienced in helping with mobility challenges.
ReplyDeleteNo, Fred Olsen. Highly recommended by some friends.
DeleteWow! We went on a river cruise on the river Seine in 2019 and I loved it! The anticipation, as you say, and then the experience and then the memories!
ReplyDeleteAll the value, three times over!
DeleteHow wonderful! You have a whole lot of time to prepare.
ReplyDeleteI shall enjoy preparing. First thing is to get a new passport.
DeleteHow exciting!!! We loved our small cruise a couple of years ago. We are actually looking at a river cruise in Europe sometime soon. This will definitely help with wintering.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I hope you get your second cruise sometime soon.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds wonderful! Something to look forward to, enjoy while experiencing it, and then, remember. :)
ReplyDeleteThree times the pleasure!
DeleteWhat a lovely thing to look forward to and plenty of time to save up too. I too love me home and my own bed with it’s firm mattress and my lovely duvet. My home is my quiet space and creative space and I am thankful to have it. Catriona
ReplyDeleteI am so richly blessed - glad you are too!
