Welcome to Jim’s Bucket List Travel
For my wife and me, cruising isn’t just a vacation — it’s become a way of life. Over the 40-years, we’ve been fortunate to embark on more than 25 cruises across oceans and rivers, each journey adding a new chapter to our story. From the majesty of the Caribbean and Mediterranean seas to the charm of the world’s winding rivers, cruising has given us unforgettable memories, meaningful connections, and a true sense of adventure. In addition, we have traveled in Africa, Peru, New Zealand, Portugal, and China on land based ventures. Each stop has expanded our understanding of the world in which we live and brought joy to us.
This site was created to share our passion for travel, especially for seniors who are ready to check destinations off their bucket lists. We know firsthand that cruising is one of the most enjoyable, comfortable, and rewarding ways to explore the world. You unpack once, wake up somewhere new every day, and enjoy experiences tailored for every pace of life — whether you prefer excursions ashore, cultural immersion, or simply relaxing with a view.
Here, you’ll find stories, videos, pictures, tips, and insights drawn from our own journeys, along with practical advice to help you make the most of your own adventures. Our goal is to inspire and guide fellow travelers who believe it’s never too late to see the world—one cruise at a time.
