Cruising with Susan Calman

Susan’s trip begins in a chilly Dover, where she boards her Christmas cruise to the southern Norwegian city of Stavanger. On board, it’s Christmas cheer all the way.

Susan goes in search of the northern lights as her Christmas-flavoured trip takes her from the northern city of Tromsø to Arctic Finnsnes.

Susan's first stop is Gran Canaria where she goes jet skiing, enjoys a spot of shopping and finds out what the nightlife is like, meeting some of the drag queens who entertain the crowds at the famous Yumbo Centre.

On the Madeira leg of her journey. Susan joins some fellow passengers on a trip to the island's stunning botanical gardens, but getting there involves a trip on a cable car which doesn't go down too well with our host as she hates heights!

For her second cruise, Susan sets sail from the bustling city of Barcelona, boarding one of the biggest cruise ships in the world: Harmony of the Seas. It will be an action-packed cruise in the western Mediterranean. Before the ship departs, there's time for a quick tour of Barcelona and Susan's arrival coincides with the annual La Mercè Festival.

Susan's next stop is the port of Civitavecchia, where she signs up for an excursion to Rome. Susan and her friends from the ship embark on a guided walking tour around the city.

Susan starts her adventure in the cruising capital of Fort Lauderdale. After boarding her ship she sails south to the Caribbean.

Susan continues her Caribbean and Central American cruise, and after enjoying the Carribean islands, her ship sails west to Panama and the wonder of the Panama Canal.
