Creator's Key Takeaways

We're going to take you on a cruise that we did last spring where we did one cruise, three continents.

It's only 2 hours, guys. A 2-hour flight from Barcelona. And it only costs about $200 a person.

You're already there. Take advantage of it. Yeah. You can have a big adventure, a big vacation for very little money and time more than you already were spending being in Europe.

This is how you travel bigger, people, and cheaper.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use an anchor cruise to extend land adventures and visit multiple continents on one trip.
Book prearranged taxis through your hotel to simplify transportation in foreign cities.
Use GetYourGuide for cheap tours instead of buying from street vendors.

YouTube Video Description

Most people take a Mediterranean cruise and visit a few European countries like Barcelona, Rome, or Athens — but we found a simple travel hack that completely changed how we plan our trips. Welcome to Episode 3 of our Travel Bigger series, where we show you how to get the most value and real-world travel payoff for your cruise dollar by connecting land travel and stacking cruises. Once you’ve already flown to Europe, the rest of the world is a lot closer than you think. So used two short, inexpensive flights to extend our Mediterranean cruise on land — and turned one trip into three continents. In this video, we show exactly how to use this Mediterranean cruise hack to visit Europe, Africa, and Asia in one trip, including stops in Morocco and Turkey, without blowing your budget. 🌍 Europe 🌍 Asia 🌍 Africa We experienced completely different cultures, food, and pace — without another long-haul flight. All from one trip to Europe. This isn’t about traveling more often. It’s about making the most of the trip you’re already taking. ⸻ 🌍 Travel Bigger Resources (This Trip) Tangier, Morocco Stay: Mamora Bay 👉 https://tidd.ly/3QaXTfq Hop-On Hop-Off Bus (Tangier) 👉 We did the “City Tour” one which doesn’t seem to be running right now as I search it…just use our generic booking.com and viator links below to search–hopefully it’ll be available by then.
