Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm heading off on what is probably the most spoken about, requested cruise or line that I've done for a very long time, and that's going finally on Explorer Journeys.

The food was incredibly high quality. It was beautifully prepared. Lots and lots of choice.

I would definitely focus on going a ship that is no more than 200.

My preferred VPN service which does work on the computer and the smartphone is ExpressVPN.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use ExpressVPN for reliable internet access on ships.
For Antarctica, choose a ship with no more than 200 passengers for longer landings.
For multigenerational cruises, consider premium or value ships over luxury lines.
Wash hands obsessively to avoid Norovirus outbreaks.
