Dream Cruises

April 18, 2008

Enter the exotic shallow beaches of Exuma, Bahamas, the domain of rare and exotic species of animals that inhabit the Galapagos Islands and remote realms off the coast of Alaska that most tourists will never experience. What might sound impossible to do on a cruise ship, is still possible if you're open to a new alternative – private yacht chartering. Kim Kavin, the author of Dream Cruises: The Insider's Guide to Private Yacht Charter Vacations, reveals secrets of how you can enjoy a more personalized travel experience on a yacht at the same price as a cruise ship vacation.

Kavin is an award-winning journalist, editor and photographer whose background and experiences in private yacht chartering has turned her into the go-to source on the subject. But even with her experiences as a published author with a literary agent, she explains during her first Author Talk interview why self-publishing through iUniverse was the best way to capitalize on a title that many charter experts refer to as "the bible." Find out how you can get the best deals, as well as make the best match when choosing a private yacht charter, all while Kavin paints a visual image of some of the most breathtaking locations she has encountered through her travels.
