Got to see the famous @SemesterAtSea World Odyssey ship when we docked in Tangiers Morocco. It sails to around 10 countries for 100 days a time running learning for undergraduate to what they call “lifelong learners” teaching programs. find out more at www.semesteratsea.org

I love old school cruise ships like #crystalsymphony as it has open air bridge wings. It means getting to watch the Captain, bridge crew and pilot navigate into port, like this as we sailed into Manila Philippines. Do you like this, or am I just too much of a ship geek and nerd?? #cruiseship

Final visit on the all day “Best of Shanghai” excursion with #crystalsymphony was heading up to the 118th floor of the Shanghai Tower for spectacular views of this enormous and fast changing city. I always enjoy a high-rise observation floor outing! Do you? Crystal Cruises

Part of #CrystalSymphony “Best of #Shanghai” excursion was lunch at Hakkasan Shanghai. On the 5th floor of one of famous Art Deco buildings (#18) it was a gorgeous venue. Here are some of the dishes, with the illusion coconut ice cream dessert rather fancy! #crystalcruises

Gary Bembridge's Tips For Travellers @garybembridge.bsky.social · 20/02/2025

Second stop of my all-day #crystalsymphony #Shanghai excursion was at the Yu Gardens. Attractive spot with crazy zigzag-shaped walkways over water as it’s felt bad omens and spirits won’t be any good at navigating them. Worth a try!

Gary Bembridge's Tips For Travellers @garybembridge.bsky.social · 20/02/2025

First stop on today’s all day tour of #Shanghai with #CrystalSymphony was at the Jade Buddha Temple. Fantastic @crystalcruises

It’s no secret but I’m an afternoon tea fan. It’s my on and off land vice/ passion. Today went to my first @crystalcruises one here on #Crystalsymphony ! Fantastic. Though I’m going to have to pace myself as it’s on every day 🤗

Headed up Mount Inasa on the nifty slope car for views over (cloudy) Nagasaki this morning. On an excursion off #crystalsymphony and will self explore this afternoon

Gary Bembridge's Tips For Travellers @garybembridge.bsky.social · 14/02/2025

I’m now on board @crystalcruises #CrystalSymphony and we’ve departed from Yokohama en route for Nagasaki. Chilly sail away but another blue sky sunny day!

Sunny day for our visit into Ensenada Mexico on @regentcruises #SevenSeasGrandeur yesterday. Though definitely way cooler than we’ve been used to on the trip! Next stop LA and end of the cruise and off to Las Vegas for New Year!

It was another gorgeous sunny and hot day on our @regentcruises #SevenSeasGrandeur as we call into Puerto Quetzal in Guatemala. Although in a working container & freight port, the authorities created a little palm tree filled oasis with craft stalls, bar, restaurant etc

Today I am in my happy place. I am obsessed about the Panama Canal as anyone who knows or follows my Tips For Travellers channel. This is my fourth time going through the old locks and I am beside myself with excitement. I was awake at 5am as this is kind of my “”Christmas Day”’

Gary Bembridge's Tips For Travellers @garybembridge.bsky.social · 17/12/2024

We’ve been in Cartagena Columbia today doing included tour off #SevenSeasGrandeur, dedicated Hop-on Hop-off bus and Walled Old City walking tour. A sunny and 30c day. Had a great time. Beautiful old city. Next in the agenda? Transit of Panama Canal tomorrow! @regentcruises

Gary Bembridge's Tips For Travellers @garybembridge.bsky.social · 14/12/2024

Oops I’ve done it again! I had said my recent, and third, trip to Antarctica would be my last. But discovered an amazing trip in early 2027 on @ponant_cruises from New Zealand visiting the remote and rarely visited by passenger ships to the Ross Sea. It’s booked

Gary Bembridge's Tips For Travellers @garybembridge.bsky.social · 14/12/2024

All aboard! We boarded @regentcruises #SevenSeasGrandeur in Miami for our 16-night Panama Canal cruise to Los Angeles. Looking forward to it! My 4th time going through the canal.

Gary Bembridge's Tips For Travellers @garybembridge.bsky.social · 12/12/2024

Flew to Miami today on @British_Airways and had a Traditional Christmas lunch with all the trimmings and a tasty afternoon tea with clotted cream for the scones. Food good but the A380 getting tatty. Hopefully refit coming soon!

Gary Bembridge's Tips For Travellers @garybembridge.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

On Wednesday heading to Miami and then on Friday will be boarding Regent #SevenSeasGrandeur for this 16-night Panama Canal cruise which includes Christmas Day on board. Looking forward to this as it will be @markjsanford first Regent experience. Will he like it??

Gary Bembridge's Tips For Travellers @garybembridge.bsky.social · 23/11/2024

We had a day in Puerto Williams and then the the charter flights back to Santiago. First we were split across three smaller planes (with cute penguin livery) as the runway can only take smaller planes to Punta Arenas, then all on bigger plane to Santiago

Due to forecast bad weather for Drake Passage we were called to an impromptu meeting on #SilverEndeavour to be shown the forecast and why we were cutting short our time on #Antarctica Peninsula by a day to avoid up to 7m waves on our second day. #silverseacruises

Another stunning landing in Antarctica. This is Cuverville which had the largest Gentoo Penguin colony in Antarctica. You can never see enough penguins. That’s a fact! #SilverEndeavour #antarctica #silverseacruises #penguins

Snowy morning exploring the stunning Neko Harbour. Massive glacier that calves frequently and a big hike up the snowy icy hill to the Gentoo Penguin colony. One of the most well-known landing sites in #Antarctica #SilverEndeavour #silverseacruises #penguins
