Seven Nights in French Polynesia with Paul Gauguin Cruises

Deserted Beaches & Perfect Service: Falling for SeaDream II in the Caribbean
Looking back, it was easy to fall in love with SeaDream Yacht Club. The yacht is small (just 112 passengers), the crew—hailing from around the world—is warm and welcoming, the itineraries bring travelers to off-the-map destinations, and there’s no formal night!

Regent Voyager Baltics Adventure from Copenhagen to Stockholm
The summary of the trip is that it was a great experience. The highlight was the itinerary. It was our first visit to most of the ports and they exceeded our high expectations. The ship was nice, but I wouldn’t call it six-star luxury. There were a few highs, a few lows, and a lot of just okay food and service experiences. —Diebroke

Regent Voyager Transatlantic Crossing
“We loved our first crossing—was our second favorite cruise out of nine. We find transatlantics romantic, crossings evoke a daily cruise rhythm that allows you to completely relax. Regent does them spectacularly well. We look forward to sailing on the fall Voyager 2010 Grand Crossing and in January 2010 we will get to experience the maiden crossing on Silversea’s newest ship, the Spirit.” —ColonelWes
