Inside the Guide

Fourteen of the world’s great cruising regions, from the Norwegian fjords to the Antarctic Peninsula. Each explored through the three threads that make a place make sense: what it ate, what it built, and what it argued about. Plus a simple piece of advice for every port, and the one habit that turns a pleasant walk ashore into something you are still thinking about six months later.

what cruise guests are saying...

We thoroughly enjoy Jennifer’s lectures onboard and try to go to all of them. We have been fortunate to have been on a number of cruises when she has been the guest speaker. We have been so enriched with her knowledge and experience and I now enjoy her monthly newsletters. In fact if we had prior knowledge of her being onboard it would encourage us to book that cruise.

Jennifer's lectures are an incredible mix of well-researched knowledge presented with excitement in her voice and artistry in her visual aids. You cannot help but be engaged and motivated to learn more by ongoing traveling and reading. And lo! She provides you with a list of fantastic books, both non-fiction and historical fiction, and future destination ideas to do just that. Thank you Jennifer, for opening my mind in such an inspirational way!


Jennifer’s presentations are a pleasure to attend. Always informative and interesting. Perfect form of educational entertainment on a cruise. A very polished and prepared speaker. In an age of declining language ability Jennifer is an exception. I woul go to hear her speak on any topic.
