✈️ From Amsterdam to the Mediterranean...Spain, Morocco & Portugal — what an awesome journey! 🌍🚢

I’m back from an incredible European adventure that combined two of my favorite things: exploring cities on my own and experiencing multiple destinations by cruise.

I started in Amsterdam, spending time wandering the canals, taking in the architecture, enjoying the food, and soaking up the atmosphere of one of Europe’s most beautiful cities.

Then it was on to Sitges and Barcelona, where we boarded a cruise that took us through Spain, Morocco and Portugal. 🇪🇸 🇲🇦 🇵🇹

Along the way, I got to experience destinations including Ibiza, Tangier, Lisbon and Porto, with each one offering something completely different. From beaches and nightlife to history, culture, incredible food and beautiful old-world architecture, the whole experience was unforgettable.

One of the things I love about travel like this is that you can unpack once and wake up somewhere completely new the next day. And when you combine a cruise with a few days on land before or after, you get the best of both worlds.

I took a LOT of photos along the way, so here are a few favorites. 📸

And this trip was also a great reminder of why I love what I do with Palm & Anchor Travel. There’s a big difference between simply booking a cruise and putting together an entire vacation that makes sense from beginning to end — the right hotel, the right flights, the right cruise, the right excursions, and all those little details in between.

If Europe, cruising, or a combination of the two has been on your travel wish list, let’s start talking about it. Sometimes the best trips start with a simple “Where should we go?” 😉

Virgin Voyages has announced cruises to Scandinavia and the Baltics in 2028. Very tempting, as we've never cruised there before.

Homeport: Amsterdam!

Who's in?

Spent a nice, long weekend in Waikiki to get away and relax! The warm, tropical weather paired with nā makani kūʻai (trade winds) felt so great!

Here's a few pictures from my travels. Had s decent view from my hotel room!

Just got back last week from sailing aboard Virgin Voyages’ newest ship, the Brilliant Lady—and I can say this is not your typical cruise experience. If you’ve ever thought cruising wasn’t for you, Virgin might completely change your mind. So many great memories made.

✨ Incredible food — over 20+ unique eateries, all included, with no buffets and no extra specialty dining fees. From upscale dining to casual bites, every meal felt like a true culinary experience. I even got my octopus and bone marrow!

🎭 Next-level entertainment — immersive shows, live music, pop-up performances, and nightlife that keeps going long after dinner. Super unique compared to mainstream cruise lines we’ve always done in the past.

🌴 Adults-only atmosphere — 18+ means a more relaxed, sophisticated, and fun vibe. Perfect for couples, friends, and anyone looking for a getaway without the usual family-cruise feel.

If you’ve been curious about Virgin Voyages, now is the time to ask. I’d love to help you plan your own unforgettable sailing.

This is BIG for my cruise clients 👀

The Port of Los Angeles is getting a brand-new cruise terminal designed to handle more ships and elevate the entire experience.
That means:
✔️ More availability
✔️ New itineraries
✔️ Even easier West Coast departures

If you’ve been thinking about cruising out of LA… this is your sign.

Let’s plan something 🔥

🚢 New cruise port alert!

Did you know there’s a part of Spain that’s actually in North Africa. 🌍

It’s called Ceuta — a Spanish enclave sitting on the African continent, just across from Gibraltar. Think Moorish history, Mediterranean views, and a cultural blend you won’t find anywhere else in Europe.

And now? Cruise lines like Seabourn, Azamara, and MSC are adding Ceuta to select itineraries starting this year.

Translation: You can step foot in Africa… without leaving Spain.

If you’re looking for something different than the usual Mediterranean ports, this is it.

I can help you find the right sailing, compare itineraries, and secure the best perks.

Comment “CEUTA” or send me a message and let’s plan something unique.

Seattle, Wash., Feb. 3, 2026 — When Holland America Line’s Veendam II sailed from New York in February 1926, it charted a course that would help define Caribbean cruising, making the company among the first to offer regularly scheduled vacations to the region for guests seeking a warm-w...

Great opportunity to sail Virgin Voyages while they are here in Los Angeles. They aren't usually here. The Brilliant Lady ship will be doing trips along the CA coast and to Mexico in April/May. No flights, no hotels!

The offer below is good for cruises from LA and NY until Feb 11th. Even I'm tempted!

No kids allowed! 😄

Let me know if interested. I'd love to help!
