We love cruise holidays and are on a mission to help you maximise your time away and get the absolute best value for your money. Since 2016, we’ve explored the world via ocean and river cruises, sailing with Marella, Cunard, Ambassador, Virgin Voyages, P&O, Princess, Fred. Olsen, MSC and TUI River Cruises.
Our vlogs are highly informative, honest, and packed with humour. We want you to learn from our successes—and our mistakes! From fully utilising ship facilities to exploring every port on a budget, we share practical hints, money-saving tips, and strategies to secure the best travel deals.
Whether you’re a seasoned cruiser or planning your first voyage, we’re here to help you travel smarter.

Lisa didn't want me to post this video on YouTube!
Following a discussion with Lisa we decided that it was not particularly 'Travelling Light'.
Were we right to self censor like this?
If you want to see the video, we have posted it on our F@ceB00k page. Head over there if you are curious and then consider following us for hints, tips and bargain deals!

This Sunday we are collaborating with our good friend Disco Dave who has a YouTube pub channel.
As you know I enjoy the occasional pint so I was happy to join him on the 'Shortest Pub Crawl in the World!' where we drank the cheapest cask ale in each pub.
Dave is a full time carer for his brother who is blind and has mobility issues. YouTube is an outlet for Dave as it is the one time every week when he has a change of environment and he chooses to share this with people on YouTube to encourage people to support their local pubs.
He is currently on 820 subscribers and we are trying to get him to the magic 1000 to help support his channel.
Lisa filmed and edited this video and I had the very difficult job of drinking beer with Dave and putting the world to rights!
If this sounds like anything you would be interested in, please consider watching, dropping a comment, like or even subscribing. Thanks guys

If you have any early flight from an airport do you arrive on the day or stay in a nearby hotel overnight?

Are we penny-pinching skinflints or just fiscally prudent? Feel free to let us know your thoughts below! 😂
If you are not sure, you can decide on Friday 16th January at 5pm when we share how we managed to cruise in 2025 for less than the price of a Travelodge per night.

We have just started a Facebook group for YouTube travel content creators. This is something that we would have loved when we started our YouTube journey just over two years ago. It will be a safe space for creators to share ideas, ask questions or just offload the frustrations of being a YouTuber! We have already invited some content creators who already follow our Facebook page. If you didn't already know we were on Facebook please check out our page and follow us if you like what you see. We would love to see you over there!
To ensure that members are of a similar stage in their YouTube journey the group does require a 500 YouTube subscriber minimum to join.
If you would like to join the link is below in the comments
Thank you
Lisa and Giles

We were very pleased to be recognised as one of the biggest movers on Sail Away Magazine’s Top 100 UK Cruise Channels today. (That was UP not DOWN! 😂) We are currently at number 41. Thanks for your watches, likes, hypes, shares and especially your comments.
Did you know we are also on Facebook and have just posted a cruise that is less than £48 a night over there? Why not follow us for more deals and nonsense!
