Are you looking for a European summer cruise where you’ll
- Stroll through the streets in historic ports of call
- Have endless activities onboard to keep you consistently delighted
- Find a quiet corner by yourself after a busy day
- Have a cozy bed to rest your tired feet while dreaming about the day’s adventures
Royal Caribbean’s Independence will provide you with all of these and more!
Would you want to set sail on this ship this summer?
If you’re planning travel to the European village of Flam, Norway, here’s what you need to know.
1. It is home to only about 500 inhabitants but attracts nearly half a million visitors every year.
↳ Don’t expect a lot of shops and restaurants.
2. You can see most of the city and surrounding area easily within a day.
↳ Stegastein Viewpoint, A fjord cruise and Flamsbana are highlights
3. If you do decide to stay overnight, book early.
↳ There are only 3 hotels in the town of Flam and they fill up quickly,
especially in the summer
4. The Flambasa (Flam railway) might not be worth it for you.
↳ If you rent a car and are driving around the Norway fjords, you’ll get the
same views you would on the Flam railway.
5. If you book a Fjord cruise, don’t forget to book the bus back to Flam.
↳ The Naeroyfjord cruise ticket is a one way ticket (Flam to Gudvangen or
vice versa). The bus to get you back to your starting point is a separate
ticket and time.
Save this for your next trip to Norway!

↳ Sailing across the azure Aegean Sea to the Greek Isles.
↳ Discovering where rolling green hills meet rugged coastlines in Ireland.
What are your 2025 travel dreams?
Europe is full of beautiful tiny villages and landscapes.
But travel to them isn’t all unicorns and rainbows.
Take the beautiful Spanish village of Albarracin:
Public transportation is limited to once a day and will take about 6 hours from Madrid. A drive in a car will take 3.5 hours as long as you’re comfortable driving in a foreign country.
You can walk from one end of Albarracin to the other in about 10 minutes. While there is a castle, a cathedral and ancient walls to walk, you can see most of the sites in just a couple of hours.
While you can get tours and city guides who speak English, most of the locals don’t. If you’re not up to speed on your Spanish, you might struggle to communicate.
Lodging options are seasonal and many hotels are only open in the summer. So if you go during off-season, you might not find suitable lodging.
This isn’t to say you shouldn’t travel to places like Albarracin. But you should know what you’re getting into.
And if you only have two weeks in Europe, it might not be worth the hassle.
So what do you think? Are you team hidden gem? Or not worth the hassle?
If you haven’t ever thought about traveling with your family to Europe over spring break, you should now. Europe during springtime offers so many amazing opportunities.

If you’re looking for a place in Europe to travel that’s packed with kid-friendly fun and doesn’t make your sanity do a vanishing act, look no further than Ireland.
Here are just some of the adventures they can have.
1. Explore castles that look right out of a storybook, like Bunratty or Dunluce.
2. Get lost in the fairy trails around almost any forest. (I think we searched 6 when we were there)
3. Climbing mountains. Ok, maybe not mountains but the will have fun conquering the landscape at places like Giant’s Causeway
4. Playground, Playgrounds everywhere. Outdoors and indoors (for those rainy days)
5. Play with the sheep. Pet them, feed them, shear them.
6. Puddle Jump. What kid doesn’t like a good puddle jump? And Ireland provides plenty of opportunities.
7. They wont go hungry. Chicken fingers (or chicken goujons as they call them) are a staple at almost every restaurant’s kids menu.
Would you bring your kids to Ireland?

If your Europe travel plans include Ireland, make sure that you explore more than just Dublin.
The landscape, culture and history are hugely diverse and unique. From historic towns like Kilkenny, to the rugged coastline along with Wild Atlantic Way to one of Europe’s oldest pubs the Emerald Isle has so much to offer.
Have you been to Ireland? What do you think should be included on an Ireland itinerary?
