Creator's Key Takeaways

We've got a really bright future ahead with us with Viking.

The really big news from Viking these days is that they have on order from the Finanti area shipyard in Italy two hydrogen-powered ships.

Holland America has just announced that for their 2026 season, they're extending their European season by 6 weeks.

2026 is supposed to be a very active year for that. So, it's a superb year to get to go see the Northern Lights.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pay attention to which airline has a hub at your most frequently used airport to build loyalty.
Compare average fares and credit card perks of different airlines to maximize points and miles.
Consider booking the Holland America Northern Lights cruise in 2026 for optimal viewing conditions.
