We boarded **Explora Journeys’ Explora II** today for an **Athens to Venice** itinerary β€” with stops in **Paros, Rhodes, Corfu, Hvar, and Rijeka, Croatia**.

Several of these are first-time ports for us, and this is also our **first time sailing Explora Journeys**, so we’re especially curious to see how it compares to lines like Celebrity, Azamara, Oceania, Viking, Virgin, and the more traditional luxury cruise lines. We've booked quite a few of you on Explora and the feedback has been quite positive.

First impressions from embarkation day? Honestly, very strong.

Boarding was smooth, the crew has been excellent, the ship is beautiful, and the food so far has been impressive. The only hiccup was an A/C issue in our suite, but that has already been resolved. So far, so good.

Now we want to know what **you** want us to look into.

Curious about the food? Cabins? Service? Dress code? Included drinks? Wi-Fi? Entertainment? Excursions? Overall vibe? Whether Explora feels β€œluxury” or just expensive?

Drop your questions in the comments and we’ll do our best to answer them while we’re onboard.

🚒 Just stepped off Scarlet Lady after a Transatlantic crossing β€”
ask us anything while it's fresh.

This was our 4th time sailing Virgin Voyages and our 2nd time on
Scarlet Lady specifically. This crossing was our 2nd repositioning
overall (the first being Singapore β†’ Sydney) β€” and honestly, some
of the smoothest seas we've ever experienced on an Atlantic crossing.
🌊 The picture was a cloudy but fun day in Funchal, Madeira (we were diverted from the Azores)

If you've been curious about Virgin Voyages β€” whether it's right for
you, what a Transatlantic crossing actually feels like, or how it
compares to traditional cruise lines β€” drop your questions below.

What's the one thing you've always wondered about Virgin Voyages? πŸ‘‡

A full video is coming soon with our honest take. But in the
meantime, we're here answering everything we can while it's still
top of mind.

🚒 NEW VIDEO IS LIVE!

We just posted one we've been wanting to make for a while β€” what we've learned after 7 transatlantic crossings (and watching dozens of you book your own).

Honestly? Many people pick the wrong ship. They focus on price or ports when they should be picking the ship they want to LIVE on for two weeks. We break down exactly how to choose, why the cheapest fare often isn't actually the cheapest cruise, and the eastbound vs westbound truth nobody talks about.

Plus β€” 2027 transatlantic pricing across MSC, Holland America, Princess, Royal, Celebrity, NCL, Azamara, Virgin, Viking, Oceania, and Silversea. Some of these numbers will surprise you.

A question for you all πŸ‘‡
Have you done a transatlantic? Which ship β€” and would you do it again? Tell us in the comments here OR on the video!

Most cruisers see the same 8 ports their entire lives.

We just posted a video covering 12 destinations that cruise ships actually sail to β€” but most people never think to book. We're talking Azores balconies for under $200/day, Komodo Island (yes, the dragons are real), Faroe Islands waterfalls falling directly into the ocean, and Papua New Guinea β€” one of the least-visited countries on Earth.

Some of these we've done ourselves. A few genuinely changed how we see the world.

πŸ‘‰ New video is live β€” link below.

πŸŽ„ Christmas Markets river cruises are THE hardest sailings to find deals on β€” but we got one.

If you've ever looked into a European Christmas Markets cruise, you know they book up fast and discounts are rare. The 2027 season is already filling up, and we've managed to lock in exclusive pricing on AmaWaterways' AmaPrima sailing the Rhine from Amsterdam to Basel.

πŸ“… December 15–22, 2027
🚒 AmaPrima β€” 162 guests, twin-balcony staterooms, two restaurants
πŸŽ… Cologne, Strasbourg, RΓΌdesheim, Heidelberg, Breisach & more β€” all with Christmas markets in full festive swing
🏠 Back home in time for Christmas!

Our private deal saves up to $1,400 per stateroom β€” that includes price savings vs. booking direct ($1,000 savings), prepaid gratuities, and bonus onboard credit. These kinds of discounts basically don't exist on Christmas Markets sailings.

We only have 8 staterooms in our block and this is a limited time offer.

Full details & pricing πŸ‘‰ www.digitalroamads.com/amawaterways_christmasmarke…

If you've been thinking about a Christmas Markets cruise, check this one out. Drop a πŸŽ„ in the comments if a Christmas Markets river cruise is on the bucket list.

🚒 Come Sail the Danube With Us!

We're hosting a group sailing on a ship that barely exists yet β€” the brand-new AmaRudi from AmaWaterways, debuting in 2027.

This is only the SECOND double-wide river cruise ship ever built (sister to the legendary AmaMagna). Think: 4 restaurants, a pool & hot tub, pickleball court, full spa, cinema, and staterooms up to 710 sq. ft. It's unlike anything else on the rivers.

πŸ“… July 4-11, 2027
πŸ—ΊοΈ Budapest β†’ Bratislava β†’ Vienna (overnight!) β†’ Wachau Valley β†’ Linz β†’ Passau β†’ Vilshofen

We've locked in exclusive group pricing with up to $1,500 in savings per stateroom β€” including prepaid gratuities and bonus onboard credit. That's on top of the early booking savings of $3,000 per stateroom.

This is a small group (only 8 staterooms) and we'd love for you to join us. Mark & Monica from Digital Roamads will be on board β€” let's explore the Danube together! 🌍
