I’m standing on deck of the tall ship Star Clipper, in pitch darkness, sweltering in the humidity of the tropical night, hopping with excitement as the anchor chain rattles up and we prepare to set sail. The ship’s evocative sailing music, Vangelis’ theme to 1492: Conquest of Paradise, blasts out across the decks. There’s a mood of elation as the sails catch the wind and the 170-passenger ship takes off

I'm Sue Bryant, an award-winning travel writer and passionate small ship cruise fan. Over the last 20 years, small ships have taken me all over the world: Patagonia, the Galapagos, the Sea of Cortez, northern Burma, the Nile, India, Indonesia, the Arctic and most corners of the Mediterranean. There’s no better way to travel. When I’m not at sea or on a river somewhere, I’m based in London, where I work as cruise editor of The Sunday Times as well as writing for various magazines and websites. Small Ship Cruising is a collection of my favourite voyages and it’s growing all the time, so please keep coming back!
