Brittany Chrusciel circumnavigated the globe aboard a ship long before becoming a cruise expert. After studying abroad on Semester at Sea, she joined the editorial team at Cruise Critic, where she specialized in destinations. She now freelances, including for Afar. And after more than a decade of sailing by ocean, river, lake, and expedition cruise, she still loves to be at sea and lives by the sea in her lifelong home on the Jersey Shore
