When we began planning our first ever World Cruise, one of our goals was to see as much art as we could. We also wanted to share as many of our Art and Culture experiences as possible, like a primer on How to Travel the World and Find Art Wherever You Go.

Now, as our World Cruise comes to an end, we reflect on the past five months with deep gratitude. We have indeed traveled the world and discovered art wherever we went. When you search for art, you will find it.

Tomorrow we reach Astoria, Oregon, USA, the last port of call on our World Cruise before we disembark in San Fransisco.
