Tim Todd is the editor of Cruise & Maritime, an independent UK cruise publication launched in October 2026. It covers cruise news, ship reviews, port guides and plain-English advice for people who cruise or are thinking about it.
Tim also runs Sounds and Stage, a theatre and entertainment publication with a team of five, and brings the same editorial approach to cruise coverage: first-hand reporting, clear and consistent scoring, and open disclosure of anything that could affect what is written. Cruise & Maritime is not owned by a cruise line, and cruise lines cannot buy, change or remove coverage.
