Devoted cruiser
As a devoted cruiser, immersing yourself in the experiences of not just your preferred brand but also its competitors can open new horizons. This knowledge is invaluable, especially when loyalty match programs are on the horizon. Embrace the journey of exploration!

A magazine with a lot of potential
I came across this magazine after 'Travelblogjamie' started writing for them. Some of the articles such as the history of Borealis are great. Some of the articles are quite facile, with tips such as saving money when cruising with children by taking them during term-time. I would like to see better quality writing, and more in depth articles on e.g. behind the scenes on cruise ships, which cruise ships treat their crew the best/worst, how can ships be more environmentally friendly and what impact do they have on their ports of call. I also thought the front cover probably wouldn't attract me if I saw it in a shop, but it might be aimed at more older, retired clientele. I'm giving it 4 stars because I think it has a lot of potential and I appreciated the Christmas card!

Thank you very much for your honest and constructive feedback – it’s greatly appreciated. We're so pleased you’ve enjoyed features like the history of Borealis and that Travel Blog Jamie helped introduce you to us.
We’re constantly striving to improve, and your suggestions are both insightful and helpful. In fact, we’ve got several behind-the-scenes pieces and thought-provoking features in the pipeline that align with exactly what you've described – from crew welfare to environmental impact and port sustainability.
Thank you again for the thoughtful review and for recognising the magazine’s potential – it means a great deal to us.

Great Cruise Magazine!
I’ve been subscribed to Sail Away since it launched, and I love it. The brutally honest reviews and range of guest contributors make it unique amongst other travel publications I’ve read. Well worth the money, and the £1 donation to ORCA each issue is a lovely touch!

Fantastic magazine full of interesting articles.
Really enjoy the different perspectives on cruising and the way the magazine sometimes tackles awkward topics. Sail Away Magazine isn’t just a mouthpiece for cruise lines to sell cruises, the content is honest and it’s a good read.

Brilliant magazine with so much content…
Brilliant magazine with so much content from plenty of brilliant content creators and people within the world of cruising. As for the sailaway podcast it shows real insight into the cruise world with a massive variety of guests who all bring something a little different. Luke and Noel not sure why you are both so bitter, maybe ask sailaway for a spot in the mag or on the podcast as both of those reviews appear very personal and I am sure they would love a discussion. we all enjoy something different and if it’s that awful I normally don’t bother with a review, so to me this seems awfully petty when so many others love the content but hey smile and walk on by.

Don't waste your money or time
My wife and I have cruised for years and love all things cruise but would not call this a "premium" magazine. We picked it up from WH Smith and would say it has no substance, amateurish at best and our advice is to save your money. I also found them on YouTube and find their "podcast" full of opinioned drivel, negativity, self-serving and a whining session about other people on You Tube it does them no favors. I feel sorry for their guests being subjected to these two.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re always open to constructive feedback and appreciate hearing different perspectives, even when they’re critical. While we understand the magazine and podcast may not be to everyone’s taste, we’re proud of the work we produce and the community we’ve built — a community that values honest discussion, varied opinions, and real cruising experiences.
We’re also proud to stand by our editorial independence, which includes calling out behaviour we believe damages the credibility of the cruise community. We’ll continue to focus on producing content that resonates with our readers and listeners who value transparency over polish.
Basic
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 stitched together with stock imagery and articles that lack depth or knowledge. Save your money and read free content found widely online.

Thank you for your review. While we welcome honest feedback, we strongly disagree with your assessment.
Sail Away Magazine is created by a global team of experienced writers, including contributors with bylines in The Washington Post, The Telegraph, and The Guardian, as well as authors, naval architects and respected travel influencers... who don't cheat! Every issue is edited and proofread by a professional with over 25 years in journalism, and our design is handled by a creative lead with more than a decade of experience working with leading cruise brands in the UK.
We’ve built something we’re incredibly proud of – a magazine that offers a mix of trusted expertise and authentic opinions from a broad range of voices. Judging by the overwhelmingly positive response from our readers, your view is very much in the minority. Nonetheless, we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. You can't win them all, as they say!
