Your Cruise Your Way Cruise Blog

Recently I had the pleasure of becoming CruiseWest Certified Small Ship Specialist Partner , and in doing such realized just how much I had missed outside of the standard cruise itineraries offered by most cruise lines. There is a wealth of adventure to be had out there, and the hardest part is simply finding out where it is. During my study period involving the CruiseWest website, I came across a fantastic resource for many of the destinations that are available to cruisers, and an in depth look at each. The site is called LongitudeBooks.com.

Longitude was established as a web entity back in 1999 by Darrel Schoeling and Daniel Kaizer. Darrel brings 15+ years of adventure travel experience to the table, and Daniel is a trained ecologist and former book editor whose penchant for reading and traveling has helped formulate the list of selections Longitude has to offer.
The site is easy to navigate, divided into categories of interest that feature a “Best of” section, an Illustarted section, their “Favorites” section, Neglected Classics and lastly one that features globes, journals, atlases and supplies for artists and travelers alike.
They make ordering on their site relatively simple, and promise to ship within 24 hours and for a minimal fee. Gift wrapping is also available to save you time for those special occasions, or the fast approaching holidays. Add to that their satisfaction guarantee and package pricing involving mutiple items for the area you plan to educate yourself on, and most of your needs should be taken care of before you go!
For more information you can email them, call them at 1-800-342-2164 or 212-904-1144, or stop by and visit them at 115 West 30th Street, Suite 1206, in New York City.
