Pilkington's Preferred Cruises
While I love all that is involved in land-based travel, I have grown to love cruises. After months of working hard, when you're greatly in need of a vacation, you unpack once, and everything is taken care of for you.
​
You may not spend a long time in one given place, but you get a taste of many different locations on a cruise. See it as a preview, and then you can plan a future trip to return and explore more in depth!
