Ever dreamed of waking up somewhere new every morning without repacking your suitcase? In this episode of Bartie’s Wanderlogue, Luís sit down with Elaine, Sales Development Manager for Ireland at Royal Caribbean, to talk all things cruising.
We chat about why now is a great time to book for 2027, how easy cruising can be with departures from Dublin and Belfast, and what makes Royal Caribbean a great fit for families, couples and multigenerational groups. Elaine also tells us about the variety of experiences onboard. We look at where Irish holidaymakers are heading, from Europe to the Caribbean, and take a first look at Legend of the Seas, Royal Caribbean’s newest ship.
Whether you’re a seasoned cruiser or have never set foot on a ship, this episode will have you dreaming of your next sailing.

George Barter, Japan & Alaska | Part 2
In Part 2 of our conversation with George Barter, former CEO of Barter's Travelnet, we pick up right where we left off — swapping the fast pace of Japan for life at sea aboard Oceania's cruise up to Alaska.
George takes us through his suite onboard, the standout dining experiences Oceania is known for, and what day-to-day life at sea is really like — including how he spent his days crossing the International Date Line. We also hear about the incredible glacier he visited in Alaska, his honest advice for anyone considering combining a destination like Japan with a cruise, and what's still on his travel bucket list.
If this episode has you dreaming of your own Japan and Alaska adventure — or anywhere else in the world — get in touch with our team, we'd love to help you plan it!
Missed Part 1? Go back and listen to hear all about the Japan leg of George's journey.

In this episode, we dive into the Japan leg of George's trip — from exploring one of the country's most historic cities, to a private guided walking tour, incredible food, a ride on the legendary bullet train, and the fascinating contrasts of modern and traditional Tokyo.
And if this episode leaves you dreaming of Japan, we've got great news — our Best of Japan Escorted Group Tour is running again this October!
