25 Celebrating Twenty-Five Years of Cruising

A Milestone, but far from Mission Accomplished...
25 Celebrating Twenty-Five Years of Cruising
PORTHOLE CRUISE MAGAZINE BEGAN AS A WAY TO GIVE YOU, THE READER, A WINDOW TO A WORLD THAT ONLY CRUISING CAN SHOW.

And as the captain of this Porthole ship for a quarter of a century now, it has been my mission to row, row, row this boat gently down every cruise-able stream so we could experience it all together.

As you’ll see in this Special Issue celebration, we’ve charted a pretty incredible course.

For 25 years, we’ve pulled up alongside and boarded every megaship, luxury ship, river ship, expedition ship, and any other type of cruise ship this industry continues to create and revolutionize.

For 25 years, we’ve shared champagne toasts, buffet smorgasbords, poolside refreshments, evening cocktails, celebrity chef ’s specials, decadent desserts, and midnight cravings … all while dreaming of and planning around the next day’s indulgences.

For 25 years, we’ve gone backstage at the best shows; showcased the hottest fashions; highlighted our favorite gadgets, souvenirs, and shopping treasures; met celebrities, Godmothers, and the most interesting people in the world; and confirmed time and time again that the best travel memories are cruise travel memories.
