A basic magazine that isn’t worthy of the shelves in WHSmith. It’s poorly put together by creators that clearly have no design or editorial background. The magazine resembles a college project stitche... See more

Liberal diehard rag

Maurice, you are a reader and have been a paying subscriber since November 2024 - and you remain subscribed. Throughout that entire period, you never once contacted us to complain, challenge our balance, or suggest that our coverage was politically motivated.

Sail Away Magazine did not suddenly become “liberal” overnight. Our editorial stance has been consistent since launch: independent, passenger focused, willing to question cruise lines, governments, and policies that affect people’s ability to travel. If that approach was acceptable to you for nearly 15 months, it is difficult to accept the claim that it only became objectionable when a specific US administration was scrutinised.

Cruising is an inherently liberal experience. It exists because of open travel, international cooperation, reciprocal border agreements, multinational crews, global trade, and shared maritime frameworks. A cruise ship can move freely between countries precisely because those systems exist. Questioning policies that restrict or complicate that freedom is not ideology, it is relevance.

Disagreeing with our conclusions is fair. Cancelling a subscription is your right. But dismissing an independent cruise publication as a “diehard rag” only after encountering an opposing viewpoint does not say much about our journalism. It says more about your own tolerance and ability to absorb the opinions of others.

We stand by our reporting, our independence, and the readers who value balanced, fact-based coverage even when it challenges their personal views. Thank you for continuing to subscribe to Sail Away Magazine.

A brilliant read

Love my Sail Away magazine! So nice to sit and read every page with a cuppa, instead of scrolling. Full of interesting articles and great offers. Especially love Sailor's perspective!!

Amazing Magazine.Shame about Post system.

Well worth the wait with such a variety of reviews and experiences. Magazine well put together.I had a problem in the area which i live with post NOT being delivered on a regular basis. I prefer a hard copy so not interested in on line copy.

We completely understand the preference for a physical copy. Sadly, postal reliability can vary by area and is outside our direct control, but we do everything we can at our end to dispatch promptly and securely.

Thank you again for your continued support, it really is appreciated.

If You Want to Go Beyond Superficial Content...

Sail Away is a great, fair and balanced resource for cruising information, The content and presentation is of the highest quality, the contributors are knowledgeable and engaging, the photography is brilliant, and they cover a variety of topics vis-a-vis crusing that go far beyond discussion of specific cruises. I highly recommend Sail Away to cruise enthusiasts and the cruise curious.

Great magazine on cruises!

Great magazine! Lots of article contributors from some of my favorite cruise YouTube channels. The digital version is easy to download and works well on an iPad. The print version is printed beautifully.
