Today on The Joy of Cruising Podcast I am delighted to welcome Donald and Heidi Bucolo, the creators of the popular and highly influential Eat Sleep Cruise, an award-winning blog. Eat Sleep Cruise was selected by Porthole Cruise Magazine to its list of the top 10 Cruise Influencers of 2019. Eat Sleep Cruise has been quoted regularly in places like Forbes, CNBC, AARP  magazine, and Porthole Cruise Magazine. Eat Sleep Cruise was featured in my second book Cruising Interrupted  amzn.to/3seFU8y in a section called Bloggers: Cruise Community Champions. Eat Sleep Cruise brings a very comprehensive and diverse perspective to the cruise conversation. Don and Heidi have sailed all the major mega-ships; they tend to try out every major new ship that is launched; and, they also have also sailed on more intimate vessels to unique destinations like the high-end Viking Ocean Cruises, and Windstar Cruises. They have sailed throughout the Caribbean and Bahamas, Alaska, Hawaii, Cuba, Bermuda, Ireland, Iceland, and Northern Europe and have experienced bucket list excursions like helicopter tours in both Alaska and Hawaii;  a glacier walk in Alaska, exploring Chacchoben Mayan Ruins in Costa Maya, Mexico;  a stop in St. Petersburg, Russia where they visited the Hermitage Museum and attended the Russian Ballet; Berlin where Heidi and Don saw the Berlin Cathedral, the Brandenburg Gate, Checkpoint Charlie, and visited the remnants of the Berlin Wall; the Game of Thrones tour on a visit to Northern Ireland. And, they have visited some of the world's best beaches including Horseshoe Bay Beach in Bermuda, Eagle Beach in Aruba, Waikiki Beach in Oahu, White Bay Beach in Jost Van Dyke in the British Virgin Islands, and the Baths at Virgin Gorda. I could go on and on, but i just wanted to provide you a sense for what you can learn about by visiting the Eat Sleep Cruise blog and YouTube channel.The Joy of Cruising Again is now available!

In the 442nd episode of the "Join Us in France" podcast, host Annie Sargent engages guest Helen Talley-McRae in a discussion about her Mediterranean cruise experience. The cruise, offered by Viking Ocean Cruises, embarked from Rome and concluded in Tarragona, Spain, stopping at French ports such as Marseille and Sète. Helen selected this journey to celebrate a milestone birthday after her 2020 travel plans were postponed due to the pandemic. Helen highlights both pros and cons of cruising. Positives include the ability to visit several locations quickly, simplified logistics, excellent onboard service and facilities, and an all-inclusive package. Drawbacks, however, encompass substantial upfront costs, superficial visits due to limited shore time, potential dependence on organized excursions, occasionally disappointing food quality, and unexpected itinerary changes due to weather. The journey included stops at numerous locations, with Sète, Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Les Baux-de-Provence, and Monaco emerging as Helen's favorites. In Sète, she enjoyed a local guided tour and the chance to interact with locals. Saint-Rémy-de-Provence and Les Baux-de-Provence captivated her with their rich history and local markets, while Monaco surprised her with its traditional old town, contrasting with the known glamour of Monte Carlo. Despite some limitations, such as an industrial port at Marseille and missing out on certain attractions due to time constraints, Helen appreciated the overall experience and expressed interest in future river cruises. She believes this type of cruise is ideal for individuals desiring a resort-style vacation or those who might be visiting Europe for the first time. After her memorable trip, Helen is excited about her upcoming visit to family in Paris and Brittany.  

Un total de 33 naves de pasajeros se proyecta que recalen en el puerto de Valparaíso durante la próxima temporada de cruceros 2022-2023, la cual comenzaría el 16 de octubre de este año con la nave Fram y finalizaría el 9 de abril de 2023 con Roald Amundsen. Así se anunció esta mañana en el marco de la primera reunión de coordinación en torno a este nuevo ciclo de arribo de naves, a la que asistieron representantes de la Empresa Portuaria Valparaíso, concesionarios y agencias. Juan Marcos Mancilla, gerente de Logística de EPV, indicó que “como Puerto Valparaíso estamos muy contentos por las muestras de reactivación que está dando la industria de cruceros a nivel mundial, en nuestro país y, especialmente, en Valparaíso. El que estemos recuperando las cifras de cruceros que registrábamos antes de la pandemia, que eventualmente pueden variar durante el año, demuestra el interés de las compañías por llegar hasta nuestra ciudad y la relevancia que tiene nuestro puerto para atender este tipo de naves”. El ejecutivo agregó que “estimamos comenzar la temporada el 16 de octubre con la nave Fram y cerrarla el 9 de abril del próximo año con la recalada de la nave Roald Amundsen. El arribo de estas naves es un importante impulso para el turismo de Valparaíso, por lo que es necesario trabajar todos juntos -con miras a la próxima temporada- para dar la mejor atención posible a los visitantes”. Por su parte, Víctor Oelkers, gerente general de Inchcape, destacó que esta será “una temporada auspiciosa, esperamos poder operar 33 naves en Valparaíso y 14 en San Antonio, eso te da 47 cruceros que es un nivel pre pandemia, la industria a nivel mundial de cruceros ha vuelto a una casi completa normalidad de operación, dado que el único lugar en el mundo es el norte de Asia. Estamos súper contentos, se reactiva una de las industrias más golpeadas durante la pandemia y que está esperando con ansias volver a trabajar, y eso tiene un beneficio social muy importantes porque son muchas las pymes que dependen de esta industria. Gonzalo de la Sotta, operador de cruceros de Agunsa, dijo que “nosotros afortunadamente tenemos la línea de crucero de Viking Ocean Cruises que vuelve a Valparaíso con Viking Jupiter que dará 3 recaladas durante la temporada, con la característica que están dos noches en puerto, además de eso, la flota agrega dos naves de exploración antártica, el Viking Polaris y el Octantis y que recalan en Valparaíso en su viaje de posicionamiento al sur y al norte”. Claudio Nast, de DMC, acotó que “esto que estamos viendo ahora post pandemia que es prácticamente el primer año que vamos a tener movimiento, y rápidamente empezamos a tener requerimientos donde Valparaíso se ve muy bien pedido en naves de menor tamaño y naves de alto nivel de pasajeros como son el Costa Delisioza, el Saphire, el Royal Caribbean, y eso demuestra con mayor calidad que el futuro de la industria de cruceros en Chile va a crecer y vamos a tener obligatoriamente en Valparaíso a tener una infraestructura dedicada para los cruceros”. Finalmente, Royal Caribbean, una de las líneas de cruceros más grandes del mundo, volverá a recalar en las costas de Valparaíso con el crucero Calebrity Infinity, luego de las gestiones realizadas por la delegación de representantes de la ciudad puerto que participó en Seatrade Cruise Global 2022.
