Art Sbarsky is a happily retired cruise executive who now travels a lot of the time by land and by sea. In the last ten years, he has taken 70 cruises for a total of 481 nights on waters around the world. Having visited all seven continents, Art is a member of the Traveler's Century Club signifying he has been to over 100 countries. But the list of places still to be seen seems to go on and on. His favorite travel quote is: "The world is a novel and he who stays at home reads but one page," which is attributed to many famous travelers/authors.

Ralph Grizzle started his journalistic career at the age of 32 following the conclusion of his "sabbatical decade." From 1980 through 1990, he bicycled across America, pedaled through Europe, and island hopped the South Pacific. Upon returning home, he settled, quite naturally, into a career of travel writing. His work has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, USA Today and numerous consumer magazines. The North American Travel Journalism Association awarded his article "Ship Shape," which appeared in Hemispheres, tops in the category of "Best Cruise Writing." Ralph operates the popular website www.avidcruiser.com.
