Cruising with Susan Calman

In a two-part trip, Susan goes to the ends of the earth on an cruise to Antarctica, where she gets close to nature to see whales, dolphins, seals, albatross, and 18 species of penguin.

A vineyard, a riverside train ride, an amazing francesinha sandwich and singers called Tunas are some of the highlights of Susan's cruise through Portugal's stunning Douro valley.

Susan travels through the Douro valley, starting in Porto, where she takes the city's cable car and visits Europe's biggest lock. She also visits Salamanca, to enjoy tapas and flamenco.

Susan finds out about the traditional outrigger boat, pays a visit to the famous Bloody Mary bar, and sails into the breath-taking lagoon surrounding the island of Mo'orea.

Susan explores the tropical islands of French Polynesia in the South Pacific, and goes snorkelling, learns how the black pearl is produced, and learns about conservation at Bora Bora

After a whistlestop tour of old Hollywood, Susan heads for Ensenada in Mexico to see La Bufadora: a blowhole on the coast that sprays water up to 100 meters into the air.
