Planning a cruise or wondering how to make the most of your time before and after? You’re in the right place.
Hi, I’m Bonnie, creator of Bon Voyage Cruise & Travel and your trusted guide to cruising and beyond.
With over 56 cruises and visits to 78+ countries, I help curious travelers feel more confident navigating cruises, ports, and extended travel experiences around the world.
On this channel, you’ll find ship tours plus tips, dining experiences, solo travel insights, cruise port guides, and pre- and post-cruise hotel stays, all designed to help you plan with confidence and avoid common mistakes.
I cover a range of cruise lines including Princess, Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, Cunard, and more, so you can find the right fit for your travel style.
Most of my videos are evergreen, so you can come back anytime when you’re ready to plan your next trip.
I don’t sell cruises, I inspire them.
Subscribe for weekly videos, and let’s explore the world together.

🚢 If you’ve ever cruised Carnival, check your account today. Icarnivalrewards.com/. CHANGES TOMORROW!
Carnival’s VIFP Club transitions to the new Carnival Rewards program September 1. Existing members need to accept the new terms to carry their current VIFP status and sailing history into the new program.
Even if you haven’t sailed Carnival recently—or you’re only Red or Gold—it’s worth signing in today and making sure your account is set.
The bigger change going forward: loyalty status will increasingly be based on spending rather than simply cruise days.
Are you currently a Carnival VIFP member? What do you think of the change?

Today YouTube reminded me that it has officially been 6 years since I uploaded my first video. 😊
What started as simply sharing travel experiences has turned into years of learning, cruising, solo adventures, editing, storytelling, and connecting with people from around the world.
I’m still learning every day, but I’m grateful this channel has allowed me to combine my love of travel, curiosity, and helping others feel more confident exploring the world.
Thank you for following along on this journey with me. Whether you’ve been here from the beginning or just recently found my channel, I truly appreciate your support. ❤️

I thought I had Valencia figured out… but things had changed more than I expected. If you’re planning to explore this cruise port on your own, this might help you avoid a mistake I made.

Today this little channel reached 5,000 subscribers, and I just wanted to say thank you.
When I started Bon Voyage Cruise & Travel almost five years ago, I had no idea where it would go. I simply wanted to share what I was learning from traveling to different cruise ports and destinations around the world.
Building a channel takes patience and a lot of persistence, so reaching this milestone means a lot to me. I truly appreciate everyone who watches, comments, and follows along on these journeys.
There are many more places ahead, and I’m grateful you’re here with me.
Thanks so much, Bonnie

This was the moment I realized Keukenhof is much easier to do on your own than I expected.
The buses leave right from the airport area, but a lot of people were unsure where to go or how tickets worked.
In my new video I walk through the exact steps so you can do this confidently without needing a tour 🌷

When you first arrive somewhere very different from home, what makes you the most nervous?
• Crossing the streets
• Language barrier
• Food & water safety
• Getting lost
Vietnam surprised me, because the thing that looked the most chaotic was actually the easiest to figure out after a day or two.
I’m curious what worries you most when visiting a new country for the first time?
I actually just uploaded a video showing what this was like in real life, and it surprised me how fast it started to feel normal.

Traveling solo isn’t always effortless…
But it’s full of moments like this; quiet, unexpected, and grounding.
Sometimes you just need a sunrise to remind you why you said yes to the journey in the first place.
🌅 Tell me, are you someone who wakes up for sunrises on vacation?

Everyone talks about the hot air balloons in Cappadocia, but wait until you see what else is out there… 👀 The Red Tour shows a completely different side of the region.
