SOUTH AMERICA

The world is a huge place and time is limited so this menu got left until we could claim to have visited even just a few ports. It is a route we would like to do more of.

This is a typical route. It is the one taken by P&O Aurora in 2023. The weather can change drastically across this route, as can the views and experiences. If you want to hear more, join the Aurora chat group where I am sure they will be sharing and where you can ask questions. We will be on a portion of this route. uCruise Aurora and Arcadia Just click the box to be taken to the Facebook group. At the same time, Azamara went up the mighty Amazon River, taking in the lush paradise of the rainforest around the largest river (by volume) in the world.

If you can add detail, please contact us. Cartagena, Columbia is the setting of an early turning point in the cruise thriller CRUISE SHIP HEIST. The charming, narrow streets feature quaint colonial buildings where the three new friends walk, one knowing they are probably being watched. They look in the magnificent cathedral and then visit the walled old town brimming with colonial history and risk. The plazas awash with flowers hide the threat. The book is available as a paperback, kindle or audiobook, or free to listen to while port-guides play mute, on www.YouTube.com/@DorisVisits Click the picture of the book for details.

Those we are on, we have joined enough cruise relevant affiliates to gain our ability to post effectively. Please share our films.

DorisVisits.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn fees by showing Amazon products. We joined to publish and sell our cruise novels. Please see the first in the series of cruise thrillers. Cruise Ship Heist. Doris Visits also participates in other affiliate programs, normally cruise or book related, and we sometimes get a commission through purchases made using our the links we use you may assume links to third parties have these connections. You do not pay extra for ANY affiliate link you click, but that affiliate if they do pay us some money, is helping to pay for our server, widgets, apps and other tools we use to make this site work. To date we have never been a profit making site and the income from books supplements the cruise activity, help and advice we give. If in doubt, assume there may be a marketing link when you go through to a third party site. If you click links we use on other sites, used to direct you to cruise help, sites like Facebook, you should know that they replace our link with their own and that becomes the dominant link meaning they get paid the commission.
