An Exciting Day for From the Deck Chair

Today is a big day, both for myself and From the Deck Chair.  Beginning this Sunday, From the Deck Chair will be featured as a weekly cruise column in the Province, Vancouver’s most-read newspaper.

While today's article is a paired down version of an article we first ran on the blog about Alaskan cruising, future articles will offer a unique twist on content available here, ensuring you never read the same thing twice - in print or online.

What does that mean for the blog?  Well, more of everything.  Thanks to the partnership with the Province, we will be able to offer more “live” voyage reports, more photo-tours, and more HD videos.  It gives us greater access to report on a wider variety of ships, lines, itineraries and destinations.  And isn't that the fun of cruising: that there truly is a ship and a line suited to each distinct taste?

Since starting this blog about a year and a half ago, it has grown in ways I could have only imagined – and we’re just getting started.  Stay tuned later this week for another (yes, another!) exciting announcement.

Right here, on From the Deck Chair.

While we’re working on articles for next week, why not head on over to the Avid Cruiser’s Facebook page to see veteran cruise journalist Ralph Grizzle’s first impressions of Oceania’s new Marina, which was christened just yesterday in Miami, Florida.
