This spectacular "homecoming" marks 20 years since Liverpool was the European Capital of Culture, and it’s expected to be the biggest maritime event since the Three Queens meeting in 2015.In this episode, we break down the specific itineraries, including Queen Mary 2’s historic direct transatlantic crossing from New York to Liverpool—the first eastbound arrival of its kind in over 60 years. We help you choose the right ship based on your style, from the grand ocean liner experience of QM2 to the contemporary luxury of Queen Anne.Inside This Episode:The 4 Queens Liverpool Guide: Everything you need to know about the May 2028 meeting, the best vantage points, and which ships offer the best "celebration" voyages.Sun Class Controversy: Princess Cruises' Sun Princess and Star Princess have divided the internet. Is the "bulbous" exterior a design fail, or a necessary trade-off for the stunning glass Dome and the three-story Sphere Piazza?Interior vs Exterior: We look at why the interior layout, featuring the Sanctuary Collection and the technologically advanced Princess Arena, might actually make this the best Princess class yet—despite the outside looks.Whether you are a Cunard loyalist planning a trip to the Mersey or a Princess fan curious about the new Sun-class fleet, this deep dive covers the biggest news in cruising for 2026 and beyond.—📚 Buy my books: https://www.frameandcross.com/books👕 Buy cruise merch: https://chrisframeofficial.teemill.com/🛳️ My Maritime History Substack: https://themaritimehistorian.substack.com/—🎥 OUR EQUIPMENT:Camera - DJI Mimo Pocket 2: https://amzn.to/3XjXwQnVlogging Mic: DJI Mic: https://amzn.to/3D3idJPLav Mic: DJI Lavalier Mic: https://amzn.to/4klRgBAVoice Over Mic: Audio Technica: https://amzn.to/4ij8mygThese are affiliate links meaning we may receive a small commission from any sales.🗺️ CUSTOM CRUISE MAP:Made using AIS (satellite ship-tracking) data, The Cruise Maps show the exact route.

| 12/19/25 | ![]() A $100 Million Gamble: Why Norwegian Spirit is Now NCL’s Best Ship [And maybe the world’s best] Ep32 | Is it possible that the oldest ship in a major cruise fleet is actually its best? In this episode of The Expert Cruise Show, we take a deep dive into the extraordinary transformation of the Norwegian Spirit.NCL took a massive $100 million gamble. Instead of a simple "refresh," they gut-renovated the ship from bow to stern, stripping away the traditional mega-ship features to create something entirely unique: a "boutique" adult-centric experience.In this episode, we discuss:The $100M Transformation: Why NCL chose to spend a fortune on a 20-year-old hull instead of building new.Adults-Only Pivot: The bold decision to remove kids’ areas to create the stunning Spice H2O and the Mandara Thermal Suite.Global Standard Dining: How Onda by Scarpetta and the double-height Windows dining room rival the billion-dollar Prima Class ships.The Boutique Advantage: Why the smaller scale of Norwegian Spirit makes it the perfect vessel for port-intensive itineraries in Japan, Alaska, and Australia.Maritime Heritage: Examining her Meyer Werft "bones" and why her 1990s design offers a connection to the sea that modern "floating hotels" often lack.Whether you're a maritime history enthusiast or looking for a more sophisticated way to cruise in 2026, the Norwegian Spirit is a case study in how to get a refit right.Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgk7SzYDkiXWWBfMqXYH0cA/join—✅ DOWNLOAD your own "Yes - I Watch The Expert Cruise Show" sign here: https://www.chriscunard.com/wp-content/uploads/YES-Expert-Cruise-Show.pdf 🛳️ Subscribe to Chris' Substack: https://themaritimehistorian.substack.com📚 Browse Chris' Books: https://www.chrisframe.com.au/books👕 Support the channel at our Cruise Merch store: https://chrisframeofficial.teemill.com✅ Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgk7SzYDkiXWWBfMqXYH0cA/join--🗺️ CUSTOM CRUISE MAP & THE CRUISE GLOBE: Made using AIS (satellite ship-tracking) data, The Cruise Maps show the exact route.

| 11/8/25 | ![]() CRUISE LINES are Taking Away Your Solo Cabins! [NCL’s Policy SHOCK] - Ep 27 The Expert Cruise Show | Just two years ago, Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) announced plans to introduce nearly 1,000 new dedicated solo staterooms across their fleet, including Solo Inside, Ocean View, and Balcony categories. Now, the parent company, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCLH), has reversed course.In this episode, we dive into:Why NCL is reducing its solo cabin offerings and what this revenue-driven decision really means for the bottom line.The irony of this change, given the initial success and dedicated Studio Lounges on ships like the Norwegian Epic and Norwegian Bliss.The frustrating reality of the single supplement—paying double occupancy for a room you occupy alone.How other lines, like Royal Caribbean and Cunard (Queen Mary 2), have handled solo cabins, and why some ships still don't have them (looking at you, Queen Anne!).Anthony's recent booking experience for a solo ocean view room, where the fare was a reasonable $875 (less than the $1,600 double occupancy rate).Our top tips for solo travellers on how to socialise on board and our thoughts on the real value of those small Studio rooms (around 99 square feet / 9.2 square metres).We're very keen to hear about your experiences as a solo cruiser. Do you book dedicated solo cabins, or do you wait for the single supplement to drop closer to sailing?

| 10/20/25 | ![]() I LIKED the ship EVERYONE loves to HATE: Carnival Adventure Full Review: The Expert Cruise Show. | The story of the Carnival Adventure is a complex one, tracing the history of three different cruise lines in two different hemispheres. Originally launched in 2001 as the Golden Princess, she was a flagship of the Princess Cruises' Grand Class, measuring 108,865 gross tons and stretching 951 feet (290 metres) in length. After almost two decades of global service, she was due for her second life as P&O Cruises Australia’s Pacific Adventure. That transition was complicated by the global pandemic, meaning she spent years waiting to finally join the Australian fleet. Now, in an unprecedented move, she’s found herself recast once more, becoming the Carnival Adventure following the closure of the P&O Australia brand.This episode will take a deep dive into what exactly this "new" Carnival ship is, and how she operates in this third incarnation. We look at the legacy features she carries from her time as Golden Princess, the Australian touches she gained and is now shedding from her brief time as Pacific Adventure, and the specific Carnival Cruise Line elements that have been injected into her identity. It’s a fascinating study of a modern cruise liner caught between ownership changes, a ship where the spirit of the past literally shares a deck with the future of the Fun Ship brand in the demanding Australian market.—🛳️ Subscribe to Chris' Substack: https://themaritimehistorian.substack.com🚢 Read Chris' Cunard History Website: https://www.chriscunard.com📚 Browse Chris' Books: https://www.chrisframe.com.au/books👕 Support the channel at our Cruise Merch store: https://chrisframeofficial.teemill.com✅ Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgk7SzYDkiXWWBfMqXYH0cA/join--🗺️ CUSTOM CRUISE MAP: Made using AIS (satellite ship-tracking) data, The Cruise Maps show the exact route.
