Louise is the Cruise Explorer columnist for ACM. Over the past 20 years, she has sailed on more than 100 ocean, river and expedition cruises in seven continents.

My all-time favourite destination is … Antarctica, but three times is greedy.

Next on my bucket list is … Africa, Maldives, Philippines, Cuba, NZ subantarctic islands, Iceland, Greenland, and three months on a round-the-world cruise.

My top travel tip is … If you're turned off by the stereotype of big ships, start with your dream destination and book the smallest ship you can afford - preferably all-inclusive, so you can fully relax and enjoy.
