Last Chance! - Emma Cruises Weekly Newsletter


Happy New Year! I hope you have had a lovely Christmas. 🎄🥰

What an incredible journey 2024 has been, thank you SO much for your company on this crazy ride. 😂❤️

We had a quiet family Christmas this year, and it was just what I needed. I got back from Sierra Leone on the 22nd and went straight into UK Christmas mode, it was quite a drastic change of scenery! I'm so so excited to share that trip with you very soon. 😅🤯

Just wanted to give you a quick heads up, we've completely sold all of our Captain Hudson V5's that we had in the USA!

There is some good news though if you are in the USA. We've got a few left in the UK, and we can send one over to you if you'd still like one! We post them to any country.

This is your last chance to grab one so please please please don't miss out.

Once these are gone, that’s it. V5 won't ever be back and his Captain's uniform is soooo cute!

Don't forget all profits go to Mercy Ships who provide free surgeries to people who have no access to them any other way.

I’ve been on lots of cruises but even amongst the never-ending list of extras you can pay for, there are a few money can’t buy things that I’d love on a cruise!

These things are very specific, but I don’t think I’d be the only person who would like them.

5 Weird Things Money Can’t Buy on Cruises (That I’d Pay For If I Could)

MONEY-SAVING CRUISE TIP OF THE WEEK:

Skip the professional photographs and ask another guest to take your photo on your phone! You can always stand in the same spot at another time when the photographers aren't there...

The quality will depend on the person taking the photo, of course... but I've had some great photos this way, and nobody has ever said no. I find people on cruises to normally be friendly and helpful!

If you have space in your calendar for a last-minute bargain, there are some fantastic deals with Marella at the moment. I've found a 7-night Canary Island cruise (including flights, transfers and alcoholic drinks) with Marella for £766pp in January!! I can definitely eat and drink that much per day...

If it's tricky to get away from work/life so last minute, booking for next winter can be a great option too.

Marella has a few discounts at the moment that work on next winters cruises and bring a similar week under 1k per person for early 2026. These won't last for long, though!

'SAILAWAY200' gets you £200 off Canary Island/Mediterranean Cruises 'SAILAWAY300' gets you £300 off Repositioning/Caribbean Cruises. t&c's apply!

Most of us know that feeling. We have been looking forward to our cruise for ages, have had a fantastic time away – and now it is all over!

5 Ways to Beat the Cruise Blues After a Trip

Many people worry that cruise ships don’t have enough lifeboats if an emergency evacuation is needed.

Do Modern Cruise Ships Have Enough Lifeboats? (Safety at Sea)

In this post we talk about seasickness, and staying healthy whilst cruising.

It may surprise you to know that I do get seasick – but it has never put me off cruising!

LIVESTREAM SCHEDULE:

This is an odd thing to write in this box, but I'm not too sure when I'll be live next just because of WiFi (I'll be bobbing around at sea).

I'll make sure to update our Facebook Group, Instagram and the YouTube community tab before I go live though so hopefully you'll be able to catch it live, or watch it at a later date.

When on a cruise ship, you may wonder whether it is possible to visit the bridge and see what goes on. In this article, we look at when and how this is possible.

A couple of days ago, I took a cruise that went UNDER TOWER BRIDGE in central London! Yep, you heard me right, the bridge opened up and we sailed out late at night. 🤯⚓️ I love London so this was a dream come true and something I'll never forget. The ship was Windstar's Star Pride and she holds a maximum of 312 guests. She's a tiny little ship compared to the ships I usually sail on. 🌊😇 I say she's tiny and she is, but she used to be even smaller. The ship was cut in half and a brand new...

Hey hey hey, I hope you've had a fantastic week. It's been a great one for me with two exciting things happening. 🥳🥳 The first is that I donated the money we raised from the latest versions of First Mate Rolo and Captain Hudson. In total, it came to $31,227, which is absolutely mind-blowing. The money will do SO much good, saving and changing the lives of humans, dogs and cats! 🥰❤️ As always I am so so proud of our community here and can't thank you enough.

Hey, I hope you're having a lovely week!
