7 Destinations We'd Pick Again (Budget-Friendly to Luxury)
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creators review seven travel destinations from their 2025 travels that they would choose to visit again. They categorize these locations by budget, starting with budget-friendly options like Portugal, Peru, and small towns in France. They highlight Cusco, Peru, as a particularly affordable destination for food and excursions, while noting that France offers easy travel via a wonderful train system. The discussion then shifts to destinations that require more spending, such as Iceland and Antarctica. For Iceland, they suggest that cruising can be a way to see the landscape more affordably, though renting a car is an alternative. They describe their Antarctic cruise as a highly recommended experience despite the cost. Finally, they discuss destinations where they felt they only had a taste of the area and wish to return for longer stays, specifically Denmark and Scotland. They emphasize that for both locations, using local transportation and staying in smaller towns can help manage costs. The creators conclude by encouraging viewers to book upcoming cruises early to secure better pricing.

Creator's Key Takeaways
We went to the Azors while we were on the cruise, and I think the whole time we were in the Azors, we were talking about the mainland Portugal and how much we loved it
Machu Picchu is a must. Yes. Now, there are a lot of day trips that you can do from this area.
We absolutely 100% now understand why um you get to just take it all in from the comfort of a ship.
We would definitely go back to every one of them. And that says a lot.
