Creator's Key Takeaways
I'm Jim Zim and I'm a cruise fanatic.
Are you surprised that Life Well Cruised is the channel that got the most views? I sure was.
I've had my time on the top of the heap. My channel was going gang busters five years ago.
The goal is not to make the most money from YouTube as I can. It's to enjoy my retirement years as much as I can.

I was curious about which cruise channels on YouTube are getting the most views right now, so I did a little research to figure it out. I monitored the number of views that 17 different cruise YouTubers got over a one month period, and then sorted the list from the most viewed to the least viewed channels. The results surprised me! Based on views between January 19 and February 19, 2026... Here are the top 11 cruise channels on YouTube: Life Well Cruised 2,375,510 La Lido Loca 1,833,110 Royal Caribbean Blog 1,727,191 Bright Sun Travels 1,557,588 Tips For Travelers 1,517,187 Harr Travel 1,166,799 Emma Cruises 1,147,201 Eat Sleep Cruise 1,100,386 Cruise With Ben & David 1,096,067 The Travel Scouts 1,096,007 Don's Family Vacations 1,058,700 You're probably wondering how I came up with the 17 cruise travel channels on my list. I just wrote down the names of all the cruise channels I could think of that seemed to be making good videos and which seemed to be professional and successful. I tried to choose channels that had been making cruise videos for at least several years. I shared my list with Gemini A.I. and asked for suggestions on any successful channels I might have forgotten, and Gemini suggested a few I had not considered. Feel free to leave a comment if you know some other cruise channel that I should have included. If this video attracts enough interest from my viewers, there could definitely be an updated version in the months ahead.
