Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm really excited to try Viking out this summer on a river cruise.

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 being projected as an excellent year for activity for 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 hack the system for travel.
Plan trips to the Mediterranean in November to get a different experience than in summer.
