Wil Photography Escorted Group Cruises
Introducing Wil...
Hello, it’s Wil here, I am an astronomer and photographer. For many years I have been fortunate enough to travel around the world capturing the most incredible photos of the Aurora Borealis, the stunning galactic core of the milky way, incredible landscapes and stunning wildlife. Having been on over 10 cruises with Fred. Olsen, they’ve enabled me to have some unforgettable experiences and I am hooked!
I am excited to collaborate with Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines to host Wil Photography Escorted Group Cruises, offering exclusive group packages and experiences across a range of hand-picked cruises. Coming on board with me, you can enjoy special benefits as well as exclusive access to workshops, talks and one-to-one tuition. We will also (subject to cruise type) have exclusive stargazing experiences on deck and advanced Aurora information to ensure you will be on deck with me, ready for beautiful displays. I will be helping you learn about photography whether you’re a beginner or an advanced photographer.
So, check out the range of Wil Photography Escorted Group Cruises below - it will be great to see you on board as part of my exclusive group with Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines.
