Joined by just six other passengers on what is easily her smallest ever cruise, Jane enjoys unseasonably good weather as she visits the puffin-packed Treshnish Islands, and Fingal's Cave on Staffa, which inspired Mendelssohn's Hebrides Overture.

Starting in Vancouver, Jane cruises around Alaska, enjoying a dog sledding adventure on an ice field, visiting the Glacier Bay National Park, meeting the cast of the nightly onboard musicals and taking a cooking lesson from ship's executive chef en route.

Jane heads to Miami where she boards a 4,300 capacity 'mega-cruiser'. She and her fellow passengers stop off in Nassau in the Bahamas before heading to the island of St Martin where she meets a host of sharks.

On her first ever river cruise, Jane heads to Budapest's Szechenyi Baths, before a visit to the moving World War II memorial, Shoes on the Danube Bank. Then, after a waltz and a wurst, Jane makes her way to her final stop of Passau, Southern Bavaria.
