It has been one incredible year since the Port of Call Shopper set sail on a quest to discover artful, handcrafted, delicious, and indigenous treasures in ports of call around the world.

Each port offered stunning views, rich history, and unique local experiences. I discovered amazing items handcrafted by local artists, makers, designers, food purveyors, and retailers. 

 

Update
When I began this adventure, the itinerary included a world cruise on a residential ship. That voyage has been postponed due to life changes. However, many fantastic travels are still planned to vibrant, historic, and scenic ports brimming with creative souls just waiting to be discovered.

 

Southern Caribbean 
Island Cruise on Princess
From Fort Lauderdale to the Bahamas, St. Thomas, Dominica, Martinique, St. Kitts, Antigua, and Barbuda.

 

European Christmas 
Market River Cruise on Scenic
From Prague to Nuremberg, Regensburg, Passau, Melk, Dürnstein, Vienna, and Budapest. 

Looking Ahead 
The 2025 travel and shopping schedule is already being planned, including a private charter in April to the British Virgin Islands! This first year has been a true joy. I’ve seen many beautiful places and met many new friends along the way, and I'm thrilled to share these experiences with you all.
