Where Is Safarigal?

February 1st,2023 London, UK There was no doubt about it – when we woke up we were back in Southampton and it was time to disembark. Being a huge ABBA fan I had though that we couldn’t get so close to the ABBA Arena and not see the show. Our driver was there to...

January 31st, 2024 At Sea Last day – and time to do the packing. This wasn’t too much of a challenge, but there was a lot to do on board. Being the last day there was the ukulele concert, choir concert, arts and crafts exhibits as well as the usual busy schedule of...

January 30th, 2024 At Sea We have 2 sea days to look forward to. A good thing too, with all of the back to back ports, a bit of rest and relaxation is needed. The program on board was as busy as ever, no time to rest and relax if you wanted to get involved. Several...

January 29th, 2024 Leixoes Maybe it is fitting that our final port is Porto. Well it’s not really Porto as such, the port for Porto is called Leixoes (Lay- sh- oi-sh), and Leixoes is one of Portugal’s major ports. So far the terminals we have seen on this cruise...

January 28th, 2024 Lisbon, Portugal Sailing into Lisbon is always a beautiful sight, even if it’s a very foggy, overcast day. We weren’t due to dock until late morning so we spent the morning sitting in the Observation Lounge observing our passage up the river....

January 26th, 2024 It was a very hazy morning, it was difficult to see anything out of our cabin, but we were still in Casablanca and excited to head out on our Iconic Casablanca tour. After the chaos of yesterday’s tour we were hoping for things to go more...

Thursday, January 25th, 2024 Casablanca. Morocco Would you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express? Would you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express? They're taking me to Marrakesh Except we are in a coach and not taking the train from Casablanca going...

Wednesday, January 24th, 2024 Agadir, Morocco Today we arrived in Morocco. It is a new country for us. It sounds so mysterious and romantic. I couldn’t wait to go ashore. Then I realized that one of my sandals was broken. I had gone to all the trouble of having a...

January 23rd, 2024 At Sea The day did not start off well, and in fact by midmorning I was declaring “never again on Fred’, however, things did improve. It was a sea day, and time to do the laundry. I bought my token from Guest Services and went to the launderette....

January 22nd, 2024 Funchal, Madeira We picked up our pilot at 9:00 and slowly made our way to the port in Funchal, cruising along the beautiful coastline. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky, it had the makings of the perfect day to be a tourist. We docked at 11:00,...
