Customer Reviews
Fun and informative
Really love this podcast - the maritime history is top notch and Baz and Chris have a great rapport together. It’s like two really well informed mates are having a chat about ships which makes it so good. Nothing else quite like this on the internet and I am a definite lifetime subscriber! Thanks guys.

Great listen
Full of great information from experienced cruisers and experts. So nice to hear personal stories that really describe the destinations and ships. Host is very likeable so it’s enjoyable listening.
