Meet Malcolm and Rachael
A couple from sunny Queensland, Australia, navigating the exciting and rewarding journey of life after 50.
Hello and Welcome!
We’re Malcolm and Rachael, a couple from Queensland, Australia, who share a passion for cruising and discovering new destinations together. After years of family holidays, we’re embracing a new chapter of travel, exploring the world one cruise at a time and sharing our experiences to help others plan their own unforgettable adventures.
Malcolm enjoys relaxing on deck and finding a golf course whenever the opportunity arises, while Rachael loves capturing our journeys through videos, photos, and stories. Together, we share honest cruise experiences, hotel stays, practical travel tips, and helpful resources to inspire everyday travellers to cruise with confidence.
While cruising is our main focus today, we’re also looking forward to a future of exploring Australia by caravan and continuing to share our adventures as our journey evolves. We hope our experiences encourage you to discover new destinations, create lasting memories, and make the most of every opportunity to travel.
Our Story
We realised there aren’t many resources created by everyday travellers who share honest cruise experiences, practical advice, and realistic travel inspiration for people who simply love to explore.
That’s where we come in. We’re not cruise experts or full-time travellers, just a couple who enjoy discovering new destinations, experiencing life at sea, and sharing what we’ve learned along the way.
Through The Roaming Roberts, we share honest stories, practical cruise tips, hotel stays, and a little Aussie humour as we explore the world together. Whether you’re planning your first cruise, researching your next holiday, or simply dreaming about where to travel next, we hope you’ll enjoy following along on the journey.
