Massive Sunsets in Thailand

I was Initially apprehensive about going on a two week cruise solo, I rarely go on holiday as my job sees me travelling quite a lot. But I took the plunge and went all out, both my fingers were crossed.

Having arrived at the hotel to collect my boarding pass early there was no rush for me to get all the paperwork sorted. A slow walk along the beach gave me a view of my home for the next 2 weeks.  When I arrived on the ship I found a very competent and well worked team looking out for me. The informal bar and restaurant allowed me to mix with people from all round the world. Many were couples, small groups and a smattering of other solos. The atmosphere was perfect for a holiday — regular food at a high standard, room on deck to catch the sun and 2 pools to cool yourself in. The excursions were well thought out and the daily trips to the beaches did not get boring due to the sandy environment we arrived onto.

I have recommended the cruise to my family and anyone at work who asks me about trips to go on; whether to Thailand or at least onto Star Clipper.
