We include Mexico here for its Riviera, while the small ship cruises focus on the Sea of Cortes and Baja California for its wildlife, beaches, history, and local culture. Panama has developed into an important destination on its own that includes the local peoples, wildlife and the Panama Canal, while Costa Rica offers wildlife, hiking, beaches, islands and national parks along its Pacific Coast.
I'm up to 78 countries and 110+ cruises worldwide, and it's the small ship journeys that I love writing about most. And so QuirkyCruise.com was born, an excellent research tool for planning your own unforgettable small ship trip.

I have traveled between all continents by sea and cruised along three dozen rivers. Ships and travel are in my blood, and so is writing. My journeys have translated into many books and many hundreds of articles.
