I've Found THE Absolute Best Cruises For Your Bucket List

Editorial Summary

Gary Brimage shares his curated list of eleven remarkable cruise destinations that he considers essential bucket list experiences. He begins with Alaska, noting its dramatic landscapes and wildlife, followed by the Norwegian fjords, which he highlights for their rugged beauty and upcoming environmental regulations. The list moves into river cruising, featuring a culturally rich Mekong River journey through Vietnam and Cambodia, and a classic Danube cruise through various European countries. Brimage also recommends the unique transatlantic experience on the Queen Mary 2, cruising through Japan to witness its history and temples, and exploring the volcanic landscapes of Iceland. He describes the beauty of Tahiti and French Polynesia, the unique wildlife of the Galapagos Islands, and the engineering marvel of the Panama Canal. He concludes that the most life-changing experience is cruising the polar regions, specifically Antarctica, due to its remote nature and incredible scale of wildlife. He explains that while popular destinations like the Caribbean and the Mediterranean are excellent vacations, they do not offer the same profound, transformative impact as the locations on his list.
