Thinking about cruising to Alaska in 2025 or 2026? Wondering what is the best month to go to Alaska on a cruise or what is the best cruise line that goes to Alaska? This episode is for you. Join Ken from RTE-Travel Talk as he sits down with luxury cruise expert Larry Jackson of Cruise Holidays of Viera for an in-depth, insider look at Silversea Cruises in Alaska—a surprisingly affordable and unforgettable way to explore the Last Frontier. In this episode of Ask a Real Travel Expert, you'll discover why Silversea's ultra-luxury, small-ship experience is perfect for both first-time Alaska cruisers and those returning for a more refined, stress-free experience. Larry walks us through everything you need to know—from ship sizes and itineraries to exclusive destinations and Silversea's all-inclusive pricing that covers everything from air, transfers, and shore excursions to gratuities, drinks, butler service, and even a black car from your home to the airport. ✨ Key Highlights Include: What makes Silversea's Door-to-Door and Port-to-Port pricing so different—and why it matters Why August is Larry's favorite month to cruise Alaska (hint: fewer crowds, better pricing, and salmon season) The advantages of small-ship cruising in Alaska: less crowding, better dock locations, and a more intimate experience What sets Silversea's onboard service and dining apart from mainstream lines like Princess, Holland America, and Celebrity Back-to-back and 14-day cruise options with different itineraries and glacier experiences The importance of working with a knowledgeable travel advisor to customize the perfect Alaska journey From luxury hotels like the Pan Pacific in Vancouver (where your luggage is taken directly from your hotel room to your cruise cabin!) to the scenic post-cruise train ride from Seward to Anchorage, this video covers it all. And yes, there's even talk of sushi buffets, lobster tails, and personalized in-suite bar setups. If you're tired of the crowds on mega ships or overwhelmed by too many Alaska cruise choices, this conversation will help you cut through the noise and find the Alaska cruise that's perfect for your style and budget.

Two Cruises Episode 56: Show Notes. This episode, we head back to the high seas to talk about not one, but two different cruises! Join us as we discuss our experience on Royal Caribbean's Utopia of the Seas and Princess Cruise Lines' Sun Princess. In this detailed discussion, we talk about everything from flight Irregular Operations (IRROPS) and loyalty rewards to dining, entertainment and more, drawing out differences, common features, and what we liked and didn't like. To kick off our conversation, we talk about flights to Jacksonville and Orlando, and some of the unexpected obstacles along the way. Next, we touch on key aspects of the experience at Utopia of the Seas: facilities, dining, casino, and more, before diving into Thomas's arrival on the Sun Princess. Comparing the demographics on each ship, Thomas shares what he liked about the dining setup and entertainment options, drawing a comparison with other cruise trips. Despite having been sick, Thomas shares a short review of what he was able to partake in, including a specialty European-style dinner. If you're curious about the newest ships on two different cruise lines, this episode is for you! Key Points From This Episode: [00:45] What this episode will explore: two different cruises. [04:13] The journey to Jacksonville and Orlando. [12:05] Royal Caribbean's newest ship, Utopia of the Seas.  [15:02] Splitting up for lunch on day two before enjoying the ice and aqua shows.  [22:32] Loyalty, points and miles in the cruise community.  [26:39] How ‘Name that Tune' in the Main Theatre exceeded expectations. [30:30] Dining on Utopia of the Seas.  [37:04] The casino experience and final thoughts on the Utopia experience.  [41:20] One feature both ships share that we agree all cruise ships should have.  [44:46] Thomas's arrival on Sun Princess, the buffet, demographic, and entertainment.  [50:56] Ports on the itinerary and why Thomas only got to experience one of them.  [51:26] The specialty dinner he got to enjoy: The Butcher's Block by Dario.   [55:44] Staff on the Sun Princess in comparison to Royal Caribbean.  [59:30] Gaming and travel-hacking discussions that will follow in future Patreon episodes.   Quotes: “One thing that really jumped out at me is, because it's such a big ship, [there's so much to do], there's an ice show, there's an aqua show, they have two different shows in the main theatre, they've got two different slides—you can't do it all.” — @tmount [13:59] “I also suspect that putting their best product out there, their newest ship with all the newest bells and whistles and restaurants, they are converting a lot more who may not have been looking at cruises.” — @tmount [13:34] “For better or for worse, Royal Caribbean is actually pretty good at delivering a standardized product.” — @TktweetsKim [35:44] “This trip was trying out the newest ships on two different cruise lines. Utopia of the Seas is the newest ship for Royal Caribbean; Sun Princess is the newest ship for Princess Cruise Lines.” — @TktweetsKim [41:24] “They are taking every opportunity, on Royal Caribbean, to engage with you and make you feel special.” — @TktweetsKim [56:50] Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: Sun Princess Star of the Seas Utopia of the Seas Royal Caribbean Cruises Carnival Cruises MSC Cruises Thomas Kim on X Trevor Mountcastle on X

Cruises Set Sail for Private Islands

A shift to private destinations for cruise lines could affect both operators and guests by 2030. Our Europe Leisure & Travel analyst Jamie Rollo explains.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Jamie Rollo, Morgan Stanley's Europe Leisure & Travel Analyst. And today I'll talk about an intriguing trend – the cruise lines' accelerating expansion into private islands. It's Tuesday, February the 25th, at 2 PM in London.Now the lure of a private island cruise is simple. You get almost exclusive access to a tropical retreat. You can lounge or snorkel on a pristine beach, you can enjoy a meal in a private cabana, you can even book a massage or a yoga class. The only other people around are fellow passengers on your vacation. So this isn't just the stuff of popular TV shows. It's potentially the future of cruising. Cruise lines have actually been offering private islands for more than a decade. So it's hardly a new phenomenon. In fact, in 2019, we estimate the majority of Caribbean cruise passengers visited a private island. As it happens, the Caribbean is the world's largest cruise destination. About saw 36 million cruise calls were there last year; that's about 40 percent of global passenger capacity. And that's surpassing the second largest region, the Mediterranean, at about 17 percent. Of course, the Caribbean's proximity to North America and its year-round tropical climate make it a prime location for cruising. But despite these advantages, historically the Caribbean's been seen as more of a lower-yielding market compared to regions like Europe or Alaska, which arguably have even more amazing scenery or historic sites. Interestingly, recent trends suggest that reputation might be changing. And new private islands over the last few years have reinvigorated the Caribbean cruise market. So what's a private destinations or islands offer? For your guests, they get a seamless integration with the cruise experience. There's no transfer required to a destination. There's no external visitors coming into the resort. No-hassle, no-traffic, and very low crime. And for the cruise lines, well, they get greater control over the customer experience. They create superior customer satisfaction, which generates more repeat business. In addition, they can get that on-island spend that the guest would have spent with external vendors. And they can charge premium rates for exclusive areas. On top of that, many of these islands are quote close to the U.S. mainland, so you're saving on fuel because the ship doesn't have to steam so far; and on port fees. And then finally, proximity to the U.S. also can increase the short cruise duration market, which widens the addressable market for new-to-cruise passengers. And also can limit anti-tourism or anti-cruise sentiment because it moves guests out of congested areas and prevents unwanted visitors. All in all, the private island model offers a very high return on invested capital and may well be the future of the cruise line industry. In fact, if we add up the expansion plans of the biggest listed cruise lines, we think their private island guest count will double over the next few years. And that could add over 10 per cent to top line sales and 30 per cent earnings-per-share for the fastest growing cruise lines. So very considerable financials, but also it's a private paradise within reach … and an idea we can all set sail to. Thanks for listening.
