Dave G Houser & Jan Butchofsky-Houser

We're thrilled to have been invited by Porthole, nation’s leading cruise magazine, to contribute photo essays, like the one below, featuring various ports of call and off-beat cruise itineraries.

As you can see, our 16-day voyage of Melanesia aboard the 5-star expedition cruiser, Orion, served up one photo op after another. We were so impressed by Orion, that we've signed on to cruise with them again (April/May 09), this time sailing along Australia's remote Kimberley Coast.

Next up for Porthole...Dubai!
