Creator's Key Takeaways

We spent four weeks on the Emerald Princess traveling through Iceland, the British Isles, and Northern Europe.

I'm loving it. I'm very, very excited.

I would definitely do another similar cruise or a lot longer.

I miss it already even though it's only been a couple of hours.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pack layers and plastic bags for excursions.
Make a spreadsheet to plan your vacation.
Ensure your last day is a sea day for easier disembarkation.
Don't be afraid of longer cruises or back-to-back bookings.
