Cruisers' Websites
Contents
On this page, we list interesting cruisers websites and blogs. Some have stopped cruising, but their site still holds a lot of very useful information, however, the majority are still underway. As well as circumnavigators we link to cruisers in every area of the world.
Don’t Miss our “Portrait of a Cruiser” feature, profiling regular contributors to Noonsite.
If you would like your website or blog listed here, please send an e-mail to [email protected] with your profile, cruising route and planned onward cruising, the start date of your blog/vlog and a crew photo. We will reply as soon as possible. Please remember to send us updates if your contact details or other information changes, thank you.
