Beat the Heat: 7 Best Coolcations In Europe

While many tourists prioritize tropical beaches when planning a cruise, experienced travelers know that the best summer vacations are actually European coolcations. Those who opt for cooler places to visit in the summer experience minimal sweating, dramatic and diverse scenery, epic wildlife, Viking sites, world-class hiking, castles, the world’s safest cities, remarkable food traditions and maximum sunlight without the scorching temperatures. It’s honestly pretty unbeatable and, as a longtime travel writer with Nordic and Celtic roots, I’m a massive proponent — I will always pick coolcations over hotter destinations, and I’ve been urging travelers to do just that throughout my entire career.

The Best Honduran Food To Try On Your Next Honduras Cruise

Honduran food is as unique as its home country’s landscapes, appealing to anyone who, like me, craves tropical ingredients, heart-warming spices, sweet seafood or perfectly cooked beans. In this Central American country, travelers can find the bounty of the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean paired with the sunlit produce of the volcanic farmlands. The result is a foodway shaped by techniques like banana leaf steaming and ingredients such as plantains and shrimp. It’s the best of Central American flavors — Honduran cuisine is communal, vibrant, flavorful, casual and evocative of the jade-hued jungle and beaches. It’s got heart, and it’s impossible not to fall in love with it. Needless to say, the food in Honduras alone is worth a trip.

How Royal Caribbean Creates The Best Vacation Experience At Sea

A Royal Caribbean cruise connects you to the world in a way no other vacation can. It brings luxurious suites, world-class waterslides, epic dining and personalized care to even the most isolated corners of the world. So yes, you can backpack and rough it to see, say, Iceland. Or, you can enjoy all the pleasures of cruising while still getting the Icelandic experience — think natural hot springs and wind-swept highlands meet onboard spas and gleaming buffet tables. I’ve stayed at plenty of hostels, used countless campsite showers and eaten an obscene amount of canned food dinners while abroad, so believe me when I say comfort like that of a Royal Caribbean cruise can really make a difference.

The Story Behind Alaska’s Most Iconic Towns

From aurora-woven villages in the distant northern corners to the quirky island communities of the south, Alaskan towns are as diverse as the landscapes they’re set in. They share the dark winters, nighttime summer sun, endless pine swaths, wondrous wildlife, northern lights and other regional signatures that we enjoy in more southern parts of the Pacific Northwest, but turned all the way up. For example, while we get 10 p.m. sunsets in June, northern Alaskans enjoy a literal Midnight Sun. If you want Pacific Northwest wonders, Alaska offers them at their peak state: their most extreme.

Luxury European Cruises: Travel Europe in Style

Situated at some of the most famous and recognizable destinations in the world, cruise ports in Europe are, in my opinion as a travel writer, elite. The continent is more condensed than some of my other favorite parts of the world, like South America, making it easier to visit more places in less time. Here in the Old World, you can see multiple cultural and ecological regions even in just a day. It’s ideal for travelers who, like me, crave new experiences, great hiking, wild swimming and access to historic sites.
