Jan e ARCHER

Jane Archer is one of the UK’s leading cruise journalists and cruise expert for the Daily Telegraph. She has been sharing her experiences with Blue Horizons’ readers for

the past 13 years.

Shhh. Don’t tell them in charge but I have just been on a cruise. On the ocean! Yes I know that at the moment we are not supposed to but after spending more than five months landlocked I could not wait to get back on the high seas – and neither could my husband. We had a wonderful time.

Life has been so strange since March, when we were on a Seabourn cruise in Australia that was cut short because of Covid. I don’t think a day has gone by since then when I have not thought wistfully about all the cruises I should have been on this year, or all the new ocean and river ships that I was lined up to visit. Or not looked longingly at all the fabulous cruise holidays ROL is offering for 2021 and beyond. In Japan, around the Adriatic, to Norway, from the UK and so many more. I wonder just how many of you are in the same boat (pun intended!), having had this year’s cruises cancelled or postponed.

Unlikely as it might sound, there is something positive to take away from this pandemic. Namely, it has reinforced just how much we all miss our wonderful cruise holidays and can’t wait to get back to sea.

Just think. Whether you prefer big or small ships, like to stay close to home or want to see the world, travel alone or with your loved ones, fancy exploring one of the world’s great rivers, there is a cruise for you.

Whichever ship you choose, you will be looked after by caring crew who give their all to ensure you have a great time, dine like kings from morning until night and always have friendly bar staff ready to pour your favourite tipple. Choose the newest ships and you’ll enjoy levels of luxury and facilities that far outstrip the most highly-rated hotels in the world. And of course you’ll visit spectacular places and build so many wonderful memories.

Lockdown was a perfect opportunity to reflect on all the great experiences I’ve had on cruises, whether on the oceans or rivers. Penguin-spotting on voyages to the South Pole and looking out for polar bears in the Arctic, tip-toeing around wildlife with no fear of humans in the Galápagos, seeing the spectacular temple of Angkor Wat in Cambodia and touring around Ho Chi Minh City

in Vietnam on the back of a motorbike on a cruise along the Mekong River.

Closer to home, I’ve seen spectacular palaces and priceless artworks in St. Petersburg, celebrated Christmas on cruises along the Rhine and Danube Rivers, marvelled at the majesty of the Norwegian fjords. In the Mediterranean, I’ve also been lucky enough to visit so many world-class cities – the likes of Rome, Florence, Venice, Barcelona – that are either on the water or close by. I could have seen them on all on a land tour, I know, but it is so much easier on a cruise.

And that’s a key word. Easy. You get on board, unpack once, go to sleep in one destination and wake in another. The cruise I’ve just done was on a small ship hopping around the Greek Isles – favourite islands such as Santorini and Mykonos, but also places that are so tucked away the only way to get to them, apart from on a cruise, is by ferry. Packing, unpacking, negotiating ferry timetables, waiting in terminals. Talk about hard work.

Did we have any worries about travelling during a pandemic? Not at all. Indeed, with all the new protocols cruise lines (and also the airports and airlines) have put in place, everyone on board felt very safe.

We were not allowed on the ship until our temperatures and blood oxygen levels had been taken, and they were checked again every day – a quick and painless (and oddly reassuring) process.

Using a neat machine, all cabins were fumigated every other day, customer-facing crew wore masks or face-shields and, rather than self-service buffets, our meals were served to us. Other cruise lines will be implementing at least the same protocols when they return to service, as well as a reduction of guests on board to allow for social distancing. Importantly, none of this detracted from the holiday one bit.

To be clear, I don’t suggest ignoring Foreign Office advice against ocean cruising as it invalidates almost all travel insurance policies, but reminds keen cruisers to get ready for when that guidance is lifted. And bear in mind that river cruising is allowed now in countries on the green list. The folk at ROL can advise on that.

We loved our Greece cruise so much we booked to go on the Douro River in Portugal. I’m keeping my fingers crossed I will soon be enjoying another fabulous cruise. Wish me luck!

YOUR INCREDIBLE MAIDEN SEASON VOYAGE Embark on this ultimate voyage sailing from Dover and discover the splendours of the British Isles. With over 127 years’ experience of expedition cruising, Hurtigruten will expertly take you to often inaccessible places in England, Wales, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, the Republic of Ireland, Scotland and the Hebrides.

Visit the beautiful Rathlin Island and witness Northern Ireland’s largest seabird colony

Enjoy a nature landing at the UNESCO double World Heritage Site, St. Kilda

Explore the true British Isles and witness incredible wildlife, including Minke whales with Hurtigruten’s knowledgeable Expedition Team

Hurtigruten’s knowledgeable and experienced Expedition Team are on hand to ensure you make the most of your time on board as well as ashore. They will share their extensive knowledge and give you a richer and deeper understanding of the places and things you experience along the way.

INTRODUCING MS MAUDAfter transforming into an expedition ship running on Bio-diesel, MS Maud is designed to take you on a cruise in maximum comfort, equipped for a sustainable and memorable expedition. MS Maud will showcase natural Scandinavian materials such as granite, oak, birch and wool with all public areas redesigned to create a relaxed and stylish look and feel, and add to the premium on board experience. A specially designed Expedition Launch – the tender pit area where guests embark on their excursions and off-ship adventures – will be added, complete with tender boats and other expedition equipment. Plus, enjoy Hurtigruten’s Science Center, packed with state of the art technology and high tech gadgets.

THE FUTURE IS GREENHurtigruten have made history by removing all single-use plastics from their ships. In the hope others will follow suit, Hurtigruten, who sail to some of the world’s most remote, pristine and delicate environments, have made this important commitment at a time when concern for rising plastic in the oceans is at an all time high. To ensure they are operating with the smallest footprint possible, Hurtigruten have removed plastic straws, coffee lids and plastic bags on all of their 14 ships, even single-use butter packaging!
