About Me

Lucy is a cruise journalist, who has sailed on a variety of ships, from expedition to river – with her favourite being expedition cruising where she can admire wildlife and impressive landscapes.

Lucy reports on what it’s like to be a young cruiser and promotes cruising as an exciting and upcoming holiday style for young adults.

She is particularly interested in new sustainable ways to cruise, such as eco-fuels and effective waste management systems onboard. She’s also passionate about making cruising accessible for all types of cruisers and keeps up to date with the latest accessibility innovations onboard.

Her travel goal is to cruise to Antarctica to see the Antarctic Peninsula and witness an array of wildlife – from penguins to whales.
