France is at the very top of my list of favorite destinations. I’ve visited France nearly a dozen times — and will keep coming back. I love the romance of Paris, the gastronomy of Lyon, the chateaux in the Loire Valley, the beauty of the French Riviera — and everything in between!

Latest Cruise Travel Guides

I’ve often been called a cruise addict. That’s fair — in 2025 alone, I took 14 cruises and spent a total of 144 days at sea. (Luckily, I don’t suffer from seasickness — although hubby Chris does. He’s a trouper!)

Whether you love Transatlantic cruises, Alaska sailings, Caribbean cruises, or sailing around the Mediterranean, I’ve got guides to help you find some amazing things to do in port. Bon voyage!
