A few of our clients have asked if planning travel for 2022 is completely futile at this point.  They’ve heard horror stories of trips being completely sold out, or with significantly reduced availability. 

For example, Egypt river cruises are extremely popular right now, and I’ve been struggling to find clients availability.

Those having trouble finding what they want right now are people travelling with groups of 6 or more and with very specific dates in mind.  Clients in this situation are booking into 2024 to get what they want (Egypt, for example).

If you’re looking for just one or two staterooms on a cruise OR the equivalent on a land tour, you can still travel in 2022 if you haven’t already secured a reservation.

Here are some of our observations about dealing with the high demand for travel products:

1. Plan Ahead.  It goes without saying that the sooner you make your plans, the more likely you are to get everything you want.
2. Be Contrarian.  If you want to travel over Christmas or Spring Break, you’ll be competing with many more tourists.  Consider travelling slightly off season (for whatever product you’re considering), and you’ll have more options.  You’ll probably save some money too.
3. Be Flexible.  For some reason known only to the travel gods, east-bound river cruises in Europe sell faster than westbound (even though the itinerary is identical).  It makes sense to look at both directions.  On the ocean, round-trip ocean cruises sell faster than ships that embark and disembark in different locations.  The only explanation I can think of is that in the old days, round-trip air was much cheaper than open-jaw itineraries.  This is no longer the case.
4. Watch Cancellations.  The cruise lines make it very easy to book a trip, with little money down, and little in the way of cancellation penalties up to about 4 months prior to travel.  It’s right about this time that we see spots open up.  People like to have trips on the books, but when they have either make their final payment OR enter the penalty phase is when we find out if they are serious.  Some are not, and those spaces open up.  Some cruise lines and tour operators maintain wait lists.  Others do not, so you have to be looking. 
5. Extra Space is now Open.  When the cruise lines first came back into service about a year ago, many were only loading to 50% capacity.  As conditions improve, the cruise lines will have higher load factors, so more cabins are opening up.  If it was sold out two months ago, it might be different now.
6. Look at Domestic Options.  In 2020 and 2021, clients were mostly choosing domestic travel, and availability was really tight.  Things have lightened up a bit now, so availability is better.  For example, if you want to go to Alaska this summer, there is good availability for departure dates in May through September.

Viking River and Ocean Cruises

The folks at Viking have created a marketing machine, and as more travel continues to open up, Viking is ramping up their marketing even further.  In addition to their publicly visible advertising, Viking also does micro-targeted promotions – meaning they will send a particular promotion to a very small group of people – applicable only to them.  These promotions represent some terrific value, and you are wise to take advantage of these if you receive them. 

Please keep in mind that we can improve on ANY offer you get from Viking.  We can get you a minimum $100 per person on board credit on ANY Viking cruise, in addition to any discount or promotional codes they send you directly (or that you see on their website).  I’m pointing this out because multiple times just this week I’ve been asked by clients whether they need to book directly with Viking to get the deal that’s being offered.  I really appreciate those who asked!  But it also means there are many more of you out there who are under the impression that you must book directly with Viking to get the discounted price or extra perks.

If you’re considering a Viking Cruise (or recently booked direct) please get in touch as soon as possible.  We can often get you a discounted price or extra perks that are NOT visible on the Viking website.  You’ll want to act quickly, because some promotions end May 10th (others end later in the month) and availability can be tight.

Maybe you were client of Crystal Cruises, or maybe you just heard about their untimely demise in the news a few months ago. 

Either way, when Crystal ceased operations, it became the poster child for the carnage of the pandemic.

Many other businesses failed due to the devastating economic effects of covid 19.  The overwhelming majority of such businesses were small, mom & pop shoppes… and the most substantial economic damage was in other countries – those much more dependent on tourism, and far less able to absorb such economic shocks.

What can we learn from all of this?

Do it Now.

Before the pandemic, most people would express some realization of their own mortality – wanting to do some travel while they were still able to do so.

The pandemic taught us that it is not only our own fragility that potentially limits our options. 

More recently, we’ve learned that you never know when a political event like the invasion of Ukraine will take away travel options. 

The lesson:  Do it now… you never know when opportunities will be taken away.

To illustrate exactly how quickly things change, Bob and I were invited on the Crystal Cruises private jet, Crystal Skye just weeks before the pandemic that led to Crystal’s demise.  The world’s largest private jet – owned by a cruise company that we fully expected to be around forever.  Here’s a link to our YouTube video on that unique plane ride: https://youtu.be/4YaJcEpBsSc.  Apparently, we’ll never get to do that again!

Insure Your Trip

Vendor insolvency is a standard clause in most travel insurance policies.  It’s also something people never think they’ll need.  Many Crystal clients were paid in full at the time of the company’s demise, and there is very little chance of recovering any money without filing an insurance claim.  Insurance is one of those things that some people never think they need… until they need it. 

Tourism is an Important Economic Driver

Travel and tourism is responsible for about 1 out of every 10 American jobs.  This puts it in the top 5 industries in the country by size and equates to tens of millions of jobs.  Now think about some lower latitude countries, where travel and tourism counts for more than one in five jobs – and those countries were not able to offer any form of government assistance to those impacted by the pandemic.  For those of us from western nations with the means to travel, the most effective way to help people in less fortunate countries is to visit there.

Is Crystal Really Dead?

In its current configuration – yes, it is dead.  However, it is an incredibly strong brand with the most loyal clients in the business.  There have been at least two attempts to buy the brand (or parts of it), but so far, those takeovers have not been successful. 

Part of the complexity is a result of Crystal’s parent company being based in Hong Kong.  The Chinese business culture is far less transparent than we are used to, so it’s difficult to make predictions.  The other contributing factor is that the bankruptcy is taking place across several countries.

At the very least, someone will buy up the Crystal ships – and Crystal clients will at least be able to go back and visit their favorites – even if they might have a different name on them.

The first “foreign” experience for cruisers is often Alaska.  I guess that makes sense – it is very different than the lower 48, and you get a stamp of a maple leaf in your passport from the Canadians.

The next outing is usually to Europe, which also makes sense not only because of the rich history and cultures there, but also because for those of us in the Eastern time zone it’s only about 6 or 7 hours away (about the same as Alaska!)

Once you go beyond Europe, it’s much more of a commitment to get there, so many people think twice.

Australia / New Zealand (ANZ) are on my radar for a few reasons.  The first is quite personal – I lived in Australia for 4 years as a child, so it is part of who I am.  The second is that New Zealand is easily one of my favourite destinations on the planet, and I am long overdue to get back (the last time I was there, I was pregnant with our son, who is now 18).

There is no doubt that Australia and New Zealand are a long way away.  The two big airports in North America for flights to Asia and Australia are LA and Vancouver, and it’s a 15-hour flight from either to get to Sydney, and almost as long to Auckland.

That’s a long way, and if you’ve only got a week to spare it’s a non-starter.  For those with a bit more time, it’s well worth exploring.  Here are some reasons why:

1. It’s easy.  The Aussies and Kiwis may talk funny, but they all speak English, and in many regards it is easier than travel within Europe.
2. It’s unique.  There are many species of animal, birds (and other) that only exist down-under.  The geology and geography are also much different than here.
3. It’s diverse.  We tend to think of Australia as a beach – and there are plenty of those.  It also has a ton of other geography in its vast land mass.  Australia is about the same size as the Lower 48 – so it is huge.  New Zealand, while only a fraction the size, is even more diverse in terms of its climate and geography. 

Ways to see Australia

There are 3 types of cruises to Australia/New Zealand:

1. A cruise that starts or finishes in Australia, but with most of the port stops in New Zealand.  This is the most common cruise, and for many people the best choice.  These trips are usually 2 weeks long.  Other than Auckland (a city of 2 million), NZ is a series of charming smaller cities and towns, and ship is a great way to explore them.
2. A cruise that originates in Australia and visits the South Pacific Islands or SE Asia.  This is good if you’re looking for a Polynesian experience, but you won’t get much of ANZ on these itineraries.
3. A circumnavigation of Australia.  Only consider this cruise if you really like sea days.  As noted above, Australia is as big as the USA, but with only 25 million people – so the cities and settlements are few and far between.  These cruises are a minimum of 4 weeks, and often have fewer than 10 port stops.

Why NOW?

These two countries quietly opened to visitors a few weeks ago, after having been closed for two years.  This means next season (our Northern hemisphere winter) will be in high demand down-under. 

Australia/New Zealand cruises run from October through March for the most part (although some ships stay there year-round).

We are also hoping to see expedition offerings for the Great Barrier Reef and Northern Australia, as more and more expedition ships come to market, but that will be another year or two. 

All the mass-market cruise lines operate in ANZ, although I’m not sure the best way to see this part of the world is on a floating amusement park.  If you’re going to invest the time and money to go that far, the small ship cruise lines all have at least one vessel there, so you can travel on your line of choice.

We are seeing some interesting itineraries on Oceania, Seabourn, and Viking. Some cruise lines even offer repositioning cruises to/from North America in the spring and fall months (if you have the time, this takes the sting out of a 15-hour flight… at least in one direction).

Do you ever stay at a hotel or resort, and when you get your final bill, you have to sit down when you see it, because you think you’re either completely misunderstanding or maybe having a stroke?

This happened to me a couple times recently.

Bob and I were doing some domestic travel earlier this year and stayed at various hotel and resort properties along the way. 

Each of the places we stayed was lovely, but I was quickly reminded of the incredible value per dollar you get with cruise vacations.  The transparency of the value equation is also far superior on the water than it is on land.

Now, I am well aware that with some cruise lines, it’s easy to get into a situation where your end-of-cruise charges far exceed the fare you paid to get on the ship in the first place.  But you get what you pay for.  When you’re paying just $75/night for a cruise that includes accommodation, all your meals, and fantastic entertainment, you should expect an upcharge here and there.  If you really dislike this arrangement, then you’ll want to try a more inclusive cruise line.

But back to my original rant…

I have no objection to paying a fair price for quality hotels and resorts.  I just think that for a domestic property (the US is cheap by international standards), once you start paying over $500 per night, they might want to throw in the Wi-Fi.

Foolishly, I thought $500/night would be inclusive (like it is on luxury ships).  I got a few extra surprises on my bill when I checked out:

1. $180 plus tax for parking ($60 per day).
2. $90 plus tax for the resort fee ($30/day).  I still don’t understand the logic of this.  They told me it was for the use of the exercise room, common facilities, and the pool.  They could just bump the rate by $30, but instead they leave me feeling nickel and dimed to death.
3. $5 per day on my invoice for the housekeeping gratuity.  I have no objection to tipping the housekeeper – I just wish they had told me this before I tipped her in the room.  Better yet – how about we pay our housekeepers a living wage like they do in Europe?  Tipping used to be an incentive for better service, now it is something that is automatically added to the bill – which is simply passing the labor cost directly to the consumer. 
4. $10 for “porterage”.  I have no idea what this is.  I’m assuming it was when the bellman whisked away my bags upon check-in, and they showed up in my room.  Again… I have no objection to paying this – if the $10 went straight to the bellman, but perhaps we need to completely reassess who pays the labor in these resorts – see my comments above.

Needless to say, the total cost of my stay was several hundred dollars more than the $500/night I paid to be there.  In fairness, this price was for both of us, but my total charges approached the $350 per person, per night range, and I still had to buy all my meals, and pay for entertainment at external venues, as well as the Uber-fare to get from the resort into town to get to the restaurants and theatres.

For the same $350 per person, per night, I could have sailed on one of the small ship cruise lines and had a much more inclusive experience.  I need to reinforce that I DON’T object to paying – I object to being two-bitted to death with charges that are clearly intended to increase revenue, but NOT enhance the guest experience.  Is it really acceptable in this day and age to charge $15/day for internet access?

To be fair, not all land-based resorts lower themselves to this type of predatory revenue management.  In the future I will seek out those properties that are more transparent and forthcoming with their billing model.

Viking Cruises

The folks at Viking have created a marketing machine, and as the pandemic subsides and more travel opportunities open up, Viking is ramping up their marketing even further.  In addition to their publicly visible advertising, Viking also does micro-targeted promotions – meaning they will send a particular promotion to a very small group of people – applicable only to them.  These promotions represent some terrific value, and you are wise to take advantage of these if you receive them.  However please keep in mind that we can improve on any offer you get from Viking.  We can get you an additional $100 per person on board credit on ANY Viking cruise, in addition to any discount or promotional codes they send you directly.  I’m pointing this out because multiple times just this week I’ve had clients ask if they need to book directly with Viking in order to get the deal that’s being offered.  I really appreciate those who asked!  But it also means there are many more of you out there who are under the impression that you must book directly with Viking in order to get the discounted price or extra perks.

What if you’ve already booked?  If you booked directly with Viking in the past 60 days (either on-line, or through their call center), we can still get the extra $100 on board credit added to your reservation.  Contact us directly for details (contact info provided at the bottom of this message).  There is NO extra fee to work with us and everything about your original booking remains exactly the same, including the price, your room number, extra perks, any excursions you’ve reserved etc.  Also, in case you are wondering, when you work with us you do NOT undermine the Viking agent who originally helped you make the reservation.  I encourage you call Viking and discuss this with them – they will assure you that Agency Transfers are everyday occurrences.

For travellers, the greatest innovation of the past century hasn’t been space travel or insulin, but rather luggage with wheels. 

This has changed everything. 

No longer are you restricted by your own ability to lift and manage your own bags.  You can now bring just about everything you own, and simply be able to push it along a sidewalk until someone much stronger than you can lift it on to a conveyor belt.

This is clearly evident in the fact that new luggage comes in the same sized box as a refrigerator.  If you don’t believe me, take note next time you’re at an airport or cruise ship terminal.  It’s a comedy of errors watching some people attempt to manage their own stuff.

For some, this catastrophe-in-waiting is remedied by packing light.  This has always been my preference.  However, after travelling with my mother-in-law, I quickly realized this is not a course of action that will work for everybody. 

I also had to rethink my luggage strategy recently when we combined a back-packing trip in Morocco followed by a river cruise in Italy.  I didn’t want all the other backpackers to make fun of my garment bag and dress pumps, so I was forced to look at alternatives.

As it turns out, there are several services out there that will pick up your luggage a few days in advance of a cruise (or other types of trips) and will deliver it to your embarkation point. In our case, we got a suitcase full of dress clothes delivered to the hotel where we stayed between the two parts of our trip, and sent home another bag full of hiking boots, rain gear, and dirty laundry. The service we used was Luggage Forward (another similar option is Luggage Free).

Imagine how nice it would be to get up on your travel day, grab your carry-on, and leave for the airport.

No overhead cranes to get your luggage in and out of your trunk; no wheeling through the airport with your half-ton of stuff – it takes away a lot of the pain of travelling.

Think about how much more stuff you can bring!
