Departing Southampton….

And we’re off! 🚢☀️

After months of looking forward to it, we’re finally aboard Arvia and pulling away from Southampton.

There’s something pretty special about watching Southampton slowly disappear behind us and knowing that, for the next two weeks, there’s nowhere else we need to be. No work, no school runs, no rushing around. Just the three of us, 14 nights to explore Arvia and some great cities in Spain and France along the way. 🇪🇸🇫🇷

We’ve spent the first few hours finding our way around the ship, settling into our home for the next two weeks and watching the world go by from the balcony.

Ralph, meanwhile, has wasted absolutely no time working through his priorities:

Ice cream shop ✅
Snacks ✅
Kids Club ✅✅
Cinema ✅
More snacks ✅✅✅✅✅

I think he’s got cruising figured out already.

Holiday officially started! ❤️🚢Read more
