Happy New Year!

On the eve of another year, we wanted to take a moment to thank you for reading our blog in 2009. We first started writing about luxury cruising back in the summer of 2006 as we prepared for our very first cruise aboard Regent's Seven Seas Mariner. That trip hooked us and we've been cruising ever since.

We've visited places we never thought we would (Siberia, Russia and the northern islands of Japan to name a few) and have met some fantastic people along the way. The thrill of discovering new places and making new friends is what keeps us booking cruise vacations again and again.

In 2010 we'll continue to bring you luxury cruise news, cruise reviews, onboard coverage of our own trips, and Twitter tweets. We'll also publish several more issues of Voyage magazine and will start posting podcasts and more video clips. If you'd like to see us cover anything specific, please let us know!

Thank you again for spending some of your precious time at our website! Leonard and I wish each of you a very Happy New Year! Here's to health, happiness, and prosperity in 2010!
