This week, our Travel pics series is C, for Cruise Ships. For Wednesday, we’re off to Road Town, on Tortola. It’s the capital of the British Virgin Islands, and home to about 12,000 people. It’s a centre of yacht chartering, as well as a destination for cruise ships like the MSC Musica, shown in today’s Travel Pic.…
This week, our Travel pics series is C, for Cruise Ships. For Tuesday, it’s an interior shot from on board the Royal Caribbean’s Legend Of The Seas.

The theme letter for our travel pics this week is up to Q – so we’ve chosen Quiet Reflections. Noumea, in New Caledonia, is on the itinerary of almost every cruise ship sailing the South Pacific. And its probably fair to say it’s not the favourite port for many .. in fact, lots of passengers don’t…
The theme for our travel pics this week is P for Pacific Islands. And we end the week at one of my favourite islands – Lifou, in the Loyalty Islands of New Caledonia. Lifou is a regular stop for many cruise ships – and it has some of the best shore-side snorkelling in the…

It’s used as a day-trip from nearby Nadi – but also has two isolated bure huts – used for holidaymakers who stay overnight after the daytrippers sail back…
The theme for our travel pics this week is P for Pacific Islands. For Thursday, how about we head to Mystery Island, – arguably, the southern-most island in Vanuatu (there are also the Matthew and Hunter Islands – but they are disputed with New Caledonia). Anyway, Inyeug Island (to give Mystery Island its proper name)…
The theme for our travel pics this week is P for Pacific Islands. For Wednesday, we travel to Espiritu Santo, in Vanuatu. We were near a village called ‘Hog Harbour’ on the island when we took this picture of our ship, the Royal Caribbean Legend of the Seas, as it lay at anchor in Champagne…
The theme for our travel pics this week is P for Pacific Islands. For Tuesday, an unusual image – this one is at Port Vila, in Vanuatu. When Tropical Cyclone Pam lashed Vanuatu in March 2015, it devastated the island nation with winds of more than 250km/hr – and the capital Port Vila, didn’t escape.…
