I've Done 11 Holland America Cruises. Here's What No-One Else Warns About (Podcast #494)


I’ve now been on 11 Holland America cruises, including my most recent 31-night South America sailing — and despite having so many cruise lines to choose from, I keep coming back. But Holland America is not perfect. In this, I reveal what I think Holland America does better and worse than other premium cruise lines like Princess, Celebrity, Cunard and Virgin Voyages — including ship size, itineraries, enrichment, entertainment, and dining, and more I look at if Holland America one of the best premium cruise choices — or is it starting to lose its way?

I Took A $1,200 Luxury Train To Machu Picchu. Was It Worth it? (Podcast #574)


It costs $1,200 to take the Belmond Hiram Bingham train to Machu Picchu — roughly $1,000 more than the standard train option. So, was this luxury rail journey through the Andes an unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime experience… or an over-hyped, over-priced way to reach the same ruins as everyone else? In this video, I reveal what the Hiram Bingham train is really like, what’s included, what surprised me, what disappointed me, and whether I think it was worth the eye-watering extra cost.

7 Traps I See People Cruising South America Fall Into! (Podcast #573)


South America cruises can be spectacular — penguins in the Falklands, Cape Horn, Glacier Alley Chile, fascinating cities in Peru and Chile, end of the world in Ushuaia, Buenos Aires, Lima, Montevideo and more. But after cruising South America several times, including a recent 31-night voyage, I saw experienced cruisers making mistakes that could ruin the trip. In this, I reveal the biggest South America cruise mistakes I saw passengers make, from visa and entry rule surprises to choosing the wrong itinerary, underestimating sea days, misjudging the ports, getting excursions wrong, packing missteps, and getting caught out with money in ports. South America is not like cruising the Caribbean, Alaska or Europe. The distances are vast, the ports can be challenging, the weather can swing wildly, and the rules can change quickly. But get it right, and it can be one of the most memorable cruise regions in the world. This should help ensure any South America cruise does not unravel before it even begins

What I Wish I’d Known BEFORE Doing A Machu Picchu Excursion Off A Cruise! (Podcast #491)


I abandoned my ship mid-cruise for three days to see one of the most iconic sights in the world: Machu Picchu. But after booking an eye-wateringly expensive $5,000 excursion with Holland America, I started to realise just how much could go wrong. Machu Picchu is not a simple shore excursion. It’s over 300 miles inland, deep in the Andes, and getting there requires a tightly choreographed chain of flights, buses, trains, and timed entry tickets. One delay, one missed connection, or a bout of altitude sickness, and the whole costly trip could unravel. In this video, I take you along on my journey from the MS Oosterdam in Lima to the "Lost City of the Incas." Join me as I discover if this was an incredible, never-to-forget adventure or a stressful, $5,000 mistake.
