After weeks of trying to learn everything I can about Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, and trying to assist some people in planning their dream vacations - I finished all of my courses and now have a Bachelor of Adventure from Royal Caribbean University!

I cannot wait for everyone to embark on their cruises this month, so that I could hear their feedback first-hand on these massive and unique ships!

My studies will continue, as I try to absorb all the knowledge, and get to go aboard myself one day.

I've been doing a lot of research on cruising. And since there's no (Caribbean) cruises from the Toronto area - Florida has landed on my radar. A quick flight, plenty to do before and after and SO MANY cruise ports!

Orlando is now absolutely on my "Visit Soon" list. Please reach out so I can tell you EVERYTHING I learned about activities in Orlando!

Air Travel Reached Record Heights in 2024

Evidently passenger demand for flying rose 10.4 percent from 2023 and was higher than the pre-pandemic average from 2019. And International travel grew twice as fast as domestic travel - I guess that's what you get after a pandemic where people were locked down for so long.

I encourage everyone to go visit some place new. To shop around for those airline flight deal. And to start research early - because with high demand, come higher prices.

I can't wait to visit one day!

With yesterday's topic of self-love, I thought I would share:

River cruise line AmaWaterways is offering a new selection of themed cruises called Celebration of Wellness River Cruises, providing more opportunities for travelers to focus on their physical and mental wellbeing.

The new cruises will begin this summer, with two summer sailings: the Melodies of the Danube sailing on August 2 and the Paris & Normandy sailing on August 9.

The Celebration of Wellness River Cruises will offer more active experiences, with extended hiking and biking tours, guided runs and at least six daily host-led wellness classes ranging from Champagne Yoga to circuit training, dance, core strengthening and more. A curated menu will supplement the activities, with a morning juice bar and healthier meal options.

Whether it's staying active or connecting with the destinations in a meaningful way, travelers are choosing cruises that align with their lifestyle. We’re proud to offer travelers the opportunity to prioritize their well-being while discovering Europe’s most iconic destinations.

Feel free to reach out to me to find out more:

Guess what everyone - we made it through the darkest most depressing month of the year. And, like me, if you were unable to get away on a vacation this January... way to be strong!

Now we enter February: the month that has nothing going on beside one day that focuses on love and couples. Don't get me wrong, I love being in a relationship... and yet I still hate the 14-Feb.

That being said - I've decided to turn February into LOVE month. Self-love. A month where you focus on all the things that make you happy (including that relationship, if it's a healthy and respectful one). Love for your body. Love for your mind. And a genuine focus on all the things that lift you up.

A month where you can research (even if it's just a daydream for now) that bucket-list trip, that fishing getaway, book those campsites or cottages for the summer, that dream cruise for the fall, or just go for a car ride with your favorite songs from high school blasting.

The company I work for is " Live For Today Travel " and I think living in the moment - is the most genuine form of self-love. Whether it's practicing meditation, or taking the extra time to cook that amazing dinner, being present and in the moment makes all the difference.

That being said, I hope everyone that has a dream destination to get to one day, and tries to make visiting that destination a priority at some point in their lives. A yoga retreat in Bali. Seeing those historic cities in Europe. Experiencing your dream honeymoon. Or just taking the time to be alone- with new people on a tour abroad (without needing to convince others to come along).

I am here to encourage those daydreams, those trip ideas, those experiences. To help reach those travel goals that seam farfetched or unlikely. Thank you for supporting my passion - of travel.

This makes me happy. For luxury cruising, for women, and for world voyages!

Exciting news!

Today, Queen Anne made her North American debut in New York, marking her maiden call from Southampton.

For the first time in Cunard's 185-year history, the ship is led by two incredible women: Captain Inger Klein Thorhauge and President
Katie McAlister, steering us into a new era of luxury cruising.

This debut kicks off her 107-day inaugural World Voyage, and affirms Cunard’s long and storied heritage with the city of New York, calling there since 1847.

New Requirements for Travel to Europe:

The rules of travel to Europe have changed. People from over 60 visa-exempt countries are required to have a travel authorization to enter most European countries. ETIAS, which is linked to a traveller’s passport is valid for up to three years or until the passport expires, whichever comes first. You can enter as often as you want for short-term stays - normally for up to 90 days in any 180-day period.

Applying for the ETIAS travel authorization costs EUR 7. Most applications are processed within minutes. This period could be extended by up to 14 days if you are requested to provide additional information or documentation. Therefore you should apply for an ETIAS travel authorization well in advance of your planned journey.

Your ETIAS check-list:
-Apply for an ETIAS travel authorization well in advance – before you buy your ticket or book your accommodation
-Make sure your passport details correspond to those in your ETIAS authorization – you will be refused boarding and entry at the border if they do not match
-Make sure your ETIAS travel authorization is still valid
-Check how long you can stay in the European countries requiring ETIAS
-Make sure your passport is valid for three months after your intended departure from the European countries requiring ETIAS - you will be refused entry at the border if it is not (exceptions apply).

Official EU website on ETIAS, the new travel authorisation for visa-exempt travellers to enter 30 European countries.
