About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description

What does it really cost to cruise Northern Europe for an entire month? We’re pulling back the curtain and breaking down everything — the cruise fare, daily fees, drinks, Wi-Fi, excursions, and all those little off-the-ship expenses that add up fast. No fluff, no guessing. Then we put it to the ultimate test and compare it to what this same trip would’ve cost if we’d done it our usual DIY, off-the-ship travel style. The numbers surprised us… and they might completely change how you think about slow travel in Europe. We’ll show you how we stretch our budget to find the good stuff without the high price tag, proving that long-term cruising might just be cheaper than you think!
