Cruising with Susan Calman

After a whistlestop tour of old Hollywood, Susan heads for Ensenada in Mexico to see La Bufadora: a blowhole on the coast that sprays water up to 100 meters into the air.

Susan explores the sun-drenched tropical islands of French Polynesia in the South Pacific, and goes snorkelling, learns how the famous black pearl is produced, and learns about conservation work at Bora Bora.

Susan finds out about the traditional outrigger boat, pays a visit to the famous Bloody Mary bar, and sails into the breath-taking lagoon surrounding the island of Mo'orea.

Susan travels through the Douro valley, starting in Porto, where she takes the city's cable car and visits Europe's biggest lock. She also visits Salamanca, and enjoying a flamenco show.

A vineyard, a riverside train ride, an amazing francesinha sandwich and singers called Tunas are some of the highlights of Susan's cruise through Portugal's stunning Douro valley.

In a two-part trip, Susan goes to the ends of the earth on an epic cruise to Antarctica, where she gets close to nature and sees whales, dolphins, seals, albatross, and 18 species of penguin.

Reaching the ends of the Earth, Susan kayaks with Orcas, sees a different view from a submersible, and has the chance to jump off the back of the ship into the freezing waters...
