Sail Away Magazine
Sail Away Magazine Issue 20
Issue 20 is a milestone edition of Sail Away Magazine.This issue welcomes Milly, our new Entertainment Editor, bringing a fresh third voice to Sail Away and a completely different perspective on the cruise experience. In her debut, Milly steps aboard Azamara Quest to examine its entertainment offering, while also launching her new regular column, Milly’s Corner.
Michael Howorth returns with an evocative journey along the mighty Mississippi, while Kathy Taylor explores Portugal’s spectacular Douro River with VIVA Cruises. But river cruising is facing challenges too. With exceptionally low rainfall affecting European waterways, we investigate what changing water levels could mean for itineraries, cruise lines and passengers.
We also travel back to where modern passenger shipping began as renowned naval architect Dr Stephen Payne OBE takes us aboard Brunel’s SS Great Britain. He reveals why this extraordinary vessel was so revolutionary and how decisions made more than 180 years ago helped shape the ships we know today. Add our usual mix of independent opinion, cruise news, practical advice, destinations and stories from across the industry, and Issue 20 represents exactly what Sail Away Magazine has become: bigger, broader and more ambitious than ever.
