NEW FEATURED JOURNEY
Susan’s Alaska Dream Trip
Susan wanted to experience Alaska by sea and land without managing every complicated detail herself. Her Princess cruisetour brought together glaciers, coastal towns, Denali, scenic rail travel, wilderness lodges, wildlife, and Fairbanks in one thoughtfully coordinated journey.
Her story shows how careful planning can turn a complicated trip into an experience that feels comfortable, organized, and genuinely memorable.
FEATURED JOURNEY
Istanbul to Ravenna aboard Norwegian Viva
For our 30th anniversary, my wife and I sailed from Istanbul through the Mediterranean to Ravenna, then spent a few more days exploring and eating our way through Friuli-Venezia Giulia.
It was the kind of journey that captures why we love cruising: wake up somewhere new, experience remarkable places during the day, and return to a familiar home at sea each evening. The complete story shares the memorable places, meals, and lessons that continue to shape the advice I give other travelers.
