Blue Horizons | October 2020 17
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!

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

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!
