We lecture aboard a Crystal cruise ship… and more!
(Last updated: July 25, 2025)
In March 2025, Gail and Russell embarked on four back-to-back lecture contracts, featuring eight itineraries aboard three different ships. These included our first-ever Crystal Cruise. Between contracts, we enjoyed some independent adventures off-ship. This was our most complex (i.e. craziest) adventure since our around-the-world trip in 2001-2002. We hope you have as much fun reading about our adventures as we had experiencing them!
