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.

In this episode of RTE Travel Talk, host Ken chats with Alaska travel veterans Rich and Linda Skinner of Cruise Holidays of Woodinville. With decades of experience and countless Alaska sailings under their belts, Rich and Linda break down their expert picks for the top five Alaska cruise lines—and share exactly why each one deserves a spot on your radar. From iconic lines like Holland America and Princess Cruises, known for their deep-rooted infrastructure and classic cruise tour experiences, to Celebrity Cruises' Edge Class, offering premium-plus luxury and modern amenities, to Viking Ocean with its all-balcony ships and immersive cultural programming, and finally Royal Caribbean, which leads the pack for family and multi-generational travel—there's something here for every type of traveler.

Send us a textHello, passionate cruisers! This is Paul and this week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast I am delighted to welcome back a special guest, my cohost Cheryl.We are largely in the bucket list checking stage of our lives, and just got the opportunity to check one off—a cruise on a luxury cruise line, specifically Explora Journeys and its first ship, Explora I. Let me preface with a brief overview oo the main categories of cruise lines:Mainstream-Carnival, Royal Caribbean, NCLPremium-Celebrity, Holland America, Princess, Virgin Voyages, DisneyLuxury-Regent Seven Seas, Seaborne, Crystal, Windstar You can argue with those classifications but that is accepted in the cruising industry. Where you are more likely to get arguments is about these cruise lines on the edge between categories. When we decided on explora journeys it was not on our luxury cruise radar—the luxury lines just mentioned were. This aspiration to cruise in luxury was decidedly low on the list simply due to affordability; we have so many more affordable bucket list items; like going to the Panama Canal this fall. Then Explora Journeys surprisingly dominated the luxury category of the Cruise Critics Awards just a short time before I hosted Colleen Mc Daniel who happens to be the Editor-in-Chief of Cruise Critic. Not only did Colleen pique my interest by sharing her own experience on Explora Journeys but she turned me on to some Explora promotions—still going on—that had me researching as soon as the call ended with Colleen.That research confirmed Colleen's mention of attractive pricing, and it led me to several podcast guests who could talk about Explora Journeys including Kathy Lu, an executive with Explora Journeys, before we boarded in March. Support the showSupport thejoyofcruisingpodcast https://www.buzzsprout.com/2113608/supporters/newSupport Me https://www.buymeacoffee.com/drpaulthContact Me https://www.thejoyofcruising.net/contact-me.htmlBook Cruises http://www.thejoyofvacation.com/US Orders (coupon code joyofcruisingpodcast)The Joy of Cruising https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingCruising Interrupted https://bit.ly/CruisingInterruptedThe Joy of Cruising Again https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingAgainIntl Orders via Amazon

On this episode, we are joined by Nedra McDaniel from Adventure Mom, who is passionate about having attainable adventures at every stage of life. We are sharing some of our favorite places to go for Spring Break in the USA. You can follow Nedra on her blog, and on social media as @adventuremom on Instagram, Facebook, and others. Expedia recently shared some travel trends for 2024 showing that March is the most expensive month to fly, so if your spring break is in March, you may want to consider a road trip! If you are looking for a cheap airfare, use Google Flights from your airport and put "anywhere" as the destination so that you can sort by price. Spring Break Destinations Florida Keys - is not oppressively hot and humid like it is in the summer. Hawk's Cay in Duck Key is a great location for families. You can take a day trip to Key West and enjoy a wide variety of water sports. Plan a Florida Keys road trip: https://we3travel.com/florida-keys-roadtrip/ Daytona Beach / New Smyrna, Florida - "You have grown up and Daytona Beach has too", it is no longer a party spring break destination but very family friendly. You can go pedal kayaking, climb the Ponce Inlet lighthouse, eco boat tours, see manatees, Daytona racetrack tour, and you can drive on the beach. See more things to do at Daytona Beach: https://adventuremomblog.com/things-to-do-daytona-beach-and-ponce-inlet-fl/ and some of the themed attractions in Daytona: https://adventuremomblog.com/racing-themed-attractions-in-daytona-beach-fl/ Caribbean Cruises - some leave from Florida and some visit Florida ports of call. Just keep in mind that the cruise ships, especially the pools and kids clubs, will be crowded during prime spring break weeks. Read about Kim's spring break onboard Holland America last year: https://stuffedsuitcase.com/review-caribbean-cruise-on-holland-america-nieuw-statendam/ Washington D.C. - Spring break is often Cherry Blossom season and a popular time to visit. For some museums you can arrange timed-entry tickets and many of the Smithsonian Museums are free. D.C. has a great metro system so that you can stay further out to save money and use the Metro to get around. See Tamara's Washington D.C. itinerary: https://we3travel.com/washington-dc-itinerary/ Gatlinburg, TN - Smoky Mountains National Park is free and offers plenty of hiking, be sure to drive or bike Cades Cove Loop, there are also quirky adventures like zorbing, alpine slides, mountain coasters, treetop adventure courses, and Hillbilly Golf. Plus there are so many themed restaurants and shows, along with Dollywood theme park. See Nedra's suggestions for unique adventures in the Smoky Mountains: https://adventuremomblog.com/unique-adventures-try-smoky-mountains/ Phoenix / Scottsdale - spring break is also spring training for Major League Baseball and you can get great ticket prices to watch games in the Cactus League. There are also world-class spas, great brunch spots, and hiking. In the spring the desert is in bloom and beautiful. Scottsdale getaway: https://stuffedsuitcase.com/scottsdale-girls-weekend-itinerary/ Las Vegas - you can use Las Vegas as a base and then explore some of the national parks in the area. It is especially good if you can do Bryce, Zion, and the Grand Canyon midweek and explore the city on the weekends. The Pinball Museum and the Neon Sign Museum are fun and for older teens, try a food tour. See tips for hiking the Narrows: https://adventuremomblog.com/hike-the-narrows-for-an-incredible-adventure-at-zion-national-park/. See more unique adventures in Vegas: https://adventuremomblog.com/7-unique-bucket-list-adventures-in-las-vegas/.

See Tamara's review: https://we3travel.com/little-st-simons-island-all-inclusive-resort/ Southern California - the weather is great and there is so much to do. Huntington Beach is great if you want to learn to surf. San Diego has the zoo and museums. Plus there are the theme parks. It is also a good season for whale and dolphin watching. See Kim's Southern California itinerary: https://stuffedsuitcase.com/one-week-southern-california-itinerary-disneyland/ Destin, Florida - you can go online and find adventure packs with moms who can consult with you on things to do.

Thank you for listening to our Finding Brave show, ranked in the Top 100 Apple Career Podcasts! “You have a lot of knowledge and expertise, but if you continually doubt the strength of your opinions, or the importance of sharing your ideas, you are going to lose the ability to shape where your career is going.” – Kathy Caprino  Confidence is key as you step into being the most powerful version of you, and this is something I feel compelled to talk about ​given my particular lens as a former corporate VP, therapist (focused on systems and communication), researcher, and now in coaching and training with thousands of executives and professionals across 6 continents. Thousands of people struggle with confidence issues, from not feeling “good enough,” to being insecure about their skills and abilities and suffering from imposter syndrome to experiencing “perfectionistic overfunctioning” that negatively impacts our health, well-being, life satisfaction and quality of life. From working with teams, I know, too, that both new and seasoned managers and high-potential folks at startups and other types of organizations often fear they don't know nearly enough to do their jobs well, and their confidence is flagging. This is why today I'm ingfocus on the 5 ways that your lack of confidence is hurting you, and what you can do - practically and strategically - to overcome this challenge and build your confidence and self-trust now so that it doesn't impact your success and professional fulfillment in the future. In this episode, I reference my recent Forbes blog post, 5 Ways Your Lack Of Confidence Is Apparent And Hurting You, which I encourage you to read. If you find the information helpful in identifying and overcoming a lack of confidence in yourself, I would be so happy if you would share the article and episode episode with your teams, colleagues and friends who could benefit.   Highlights from this Episode: How questioning your own ideas is holding you back right now in so many different ways [6:16] The importance of recognizing the environment you are in before sharing your ideas, and an example from my own career that highlights this [8:37] How the 7 damaging power gaps impact your confidence, courage to grow and your self-respect and self-acceptance today [13:02] What agonizing over your performance and how others think of you will interfere with what you need to do to experience more success and reward [14:22] Some places where you can get outside help if you're feeling as if you're “blowing it” in the workplace, and how this will help you move forward in your career [16:27] What to do the next time you find yourself being hypercritical of someone, plus what I've seen from my experience as a therapist that explains why this is happening [17:44] An example from my own life as a parent when I truly learned that it's not possible to be perfect, and nor should we strive to be [20:55] Where jealousy and the feeling of being threatened by others' success often stems from, and how to begin leaving these emotions behind so that you can move forward [24:23] Action steps to take to help you determine what you are good at and how that matters [29:40] What unshakable success requires and why so many of us don't have it [34:02]   For More Information:  Kathy's Post, 5 Ways Your Lack Of Confidence Is Apparent And Hurting You https://kathycaprino.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/kathycaprino https://www.facebook.com/ElliaCommunications https://twitter.com/kathycaprino   Resources Mentioned: American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy Kathy's 6-Session Career Breakthrough Coaching Program & Career Path Self-Assessment Kathy's TEDx Talk, Time To Brave Up  Kathy's Forbes Interview with Bestselling Author Gretchen Rubin, How Bestselling Author Gretchen Rubin Uncovers Life-Changing Behaviors And Touches Millions Kathy's interview with Dr. Nate Zinsser, Developing a Confident Mind: Key Strategies for Experiencing Unshakable Success  7 Signs Of Perfectionistic Overfunctioning – How To Recognize It In Yourself And Change It   Finding Brave interviews with Dr. Zinsser (Parts 1 and 2) * * * * OTHER KEY RESOURCES:   KATHY'S DIGITAL CAREER COACHING CLONE – ‘KATHY CAPRINO AI” – IS HERE!   I'm very excited to announce the release of my new Kathy Caprino AI career and leadership coaching clone!

It is keeping you from growing.” [6:05] “Greater awareness equals greater choice, and it is really important to get to the bottom of what you need to be aware of now.” [17:38] “Kind, loving, and generous people are usually the same way to themselves. They're accepting and they're forgiving of themselves.” [18:08] “What consistently repeats is not random. We co-create, we co-sustain, and we attract behavior.” [19:17] “Do something empowering when you feel jealous of others. Look at what it really means, and then do something concrete.” [29:30] “If you don't recognize what you are good at, then you can't talk about what you are good at. If you can't talk about it and share it and put it on LinkedIn, put it on your resume, discuss it in your interviews and talk to your boss about it, you are leaving so much success, money, reward and advancement on the table.” [30:15] “It's not bragging to talk about what you're good at and the outcomes that you've created.” [31:33]   Watch video versions of my interviews on Finding Brave!

Come on in!  Welcome to Episode 153! Tanya gets “voluntold” to watch the new “Twisters" movie with Shawn and gets twisted up in a storm of her own when she and Jen go to see “This Ends with Us”.  This creates a (Blake) Lively discussion. Shepherd, the introvert, gives a list of reasons why he couldn't answer his friend's phone call, knowing Tanya would understand.  I have a fun time talking all about our latest cruise, including the story about our cruise friend. Lily, who always gives us gifts.  This time we give her some Nashville originals, wrapped up in a cowboy hat that made her day.  This is the first half of our fun, but we have so very much to say that we are forced to record episode 153 ½.  Thank you for joining us!  Love, Jasa Superlatively Yes website Superlatively Yes on Patreon Superlatively Yes Instagram Page Superlatively Yes Facebook Page   Jasa's Instagram Jasa's Facebook Tanya's Instagram Tanya's Facebook Advanced Body Dynamics - Dr. Kelly Shockley Thanks for supporting the SY Podcast when you shop through our Amazon affiliate links!

On my last cruise, Cunard Queen Anne, I never ate in the buffet restaurant, on a recent Holland America cruise I ate lunch in there every day and on my Royal Caribbean Symphony of Seas cruise I ate most meals there. Why? It's because I have a set of cruise buffet rules that I've developed over time that determine when I eat in the buffet, how I use it if I do, and what I will and won't eat in there. After talking to other regular cruisers, I found they also follow a similar approach that I want to share with you.  Become a Tips For Travellers Patron: https://www.patreon.com/tipsfortravellers and get exclusive Patron-only content, downloads and livestreams Visit my Tips For Travellers YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/tipsfortravellers

In this episode of “Your Moment In Tech” we meet Drew Foulk Holland America Line's senior manager of beverage and dining operations and innovation. Holland America Line's exclusive De Lijn Gin was awarded a gold medal in the gin category during the Tales of the Cocktail competition in New Orleans in July 2024.   Mr. Foulk,  is here to tell us all about it. Developed in 2022 to celebrate Holland America Line's 150th anniversary, De Lijn Gin features a blend of Dutch-inspired botanicals, including orange, rose, elderberry, lemon verbena, lemon, raspberry, and juniper. Each botanical is cold distilled separately to ensure distinct and consistent flavors. The result is a premium gin, made in America, inspired by the line's rich history in the Netherlands. Specially crafted for Holland America Line, the rollout of De Lijn Gin serves as a nod to recognize the brand's deep connection to its Dutch roots.   New menus are coming to the Pinnacle Grille specialty restaurant, and new popup venues are being set up aboard the ships.  Enjoy! #ColoRadio #YourMomentInTech #ConsumerElectronicsShow   #CES  #Gin #HollandAmericaLine #Cruising #DeLijnGin #HollandAmerica

In episode 194, Baz asks listeners to share their “cruise ick” (ick is something that you turn your nose up at, turns your stomach or disgusts you), plus we answer a lister question from Keith and share the latest news from Royal Caribbean, MSC, Cunard & Princess. Listener QuestionKeith asks: Baz and Chris, do any cruise ships still dock in Hamilton in Bermuda or do they all dock at the Royal Navy Dockyard? My wife and I sailed to Bermuda on Holland America's Veendam from New York City in 2012 and with that being a mid-size ship, we docked in downtown Hamilton. This offered easy access to the city as well as the central bus station to use their public transit system for getting around the island on our own. It's quite a narrow channel to enter the harbor, so large ships simply can't fit. I know that quite a tourist area has been built up around the Royal Navy Dockyard, but was wondering if anyone still docks downtown.Most BIG ships dock in Royal Naval Dockyard at either Kings Wharf of Heritage Wharf. Some smaller ships are permitted to dock in Hamilton or St George's Town 2024 Cruise Ship schedule shows Regent Seven Seas Mariner, Oceania Insignia & Nautica, Scenic Eclipse, Windstar (Star Pride), Silver Shadow, Azamara Onward docking at either Hamilton or St Georges. If you are visiting on a large ship, you can catch a ferry from Royal Naval Dockyards (500yards / 460m from Kings and Heritage wharfs) to both St Georges and Hamilton.

I recently embarked on Holland America Eurodam to host one of my group cruises with some trepidation, because I'd had past fans of Holland America telling me they were falling out of love with the line, based on three recent changes. So, I felt this would be the perfect opportunity to put these to the test, as I could tap into the thoughts of everyone on my group cruise. And, based on what we discovered, you'll hear where we found the concerns about Holland America are right, where they are not, and why.
