The thing that is always a reminder while traveling Europe, is how young our country is. Nothing like seeing a 12th century castle or church to put some perspective on our own history.
Wonderfully put together, Tony. You covered in 17 minutes so much, and very well documented. Thank you. We love Europe and what it has to offer. So much history, diversification, iconic and world famous places you sometimes only read about, and to actually be there to see for yourself is so special. Thanks for the video. We hope to have one last visit to Europe next May to take in a cruise around the British Isles and to take a river cruise down the Rhine from Basel to Amsterdam, subject to our health staying good, of course. Great video, though, Tony. I understand through Don's vlog today, that you want to go back to Europe and have some time together on a cruise there. Do it....those memories can't be replaced.
Wow, this was an amazing video. You hit so many spots. This looks like a wonderful once-in-a-lifetime trip and you sure did a lot. Congrats on getting to mark things off of your bucket list and thank you for bringing me along.
And visit the Anne Frank Museum. Probably one of the most moving sites I have ever visited other than the Dachau concentration camp in Germany. I believe that the Anne Frank house is something everyone should see. And never forget.
Tony,, that was one of the best videos I’ve ever seen… - Ireland and Scotland are just awesome.. - So much history, it kinda takes you back in time.. - Wow !! 🌷
Thank you so much for the highlights of your tour. It was lovely to see the places in England and Scotland that I have been before, brought back many great memories. Makes me want to go to Europe and see the places that I haven't been. Thanks again.
Great video Tony we loved it ,very well made. my wife Vicki and I did a 12 day cruise out of Dover last summer we covered the Baltic Sea area. Thanks Buddy we watch every day
Welcome to transatlantic cruises and Europe! I'm an American, but I always cruise Europe. European cruises vs. Caribbean. Awesome stuff vs. another beach/bad beer.
Tony, This was an excellent video. I had the privilege of being on the Rotterdam during this same voyage and experience many of these shore excursions with you. Your video really did an excellent job of showing off the highlights of this wonderful cruise. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.
Took a trip down memory lane… was in Copenhagen back in 2017… and had to stay 4 extra nights due to a hurricane in Florida that shit down the airport and created some havoc… so got to enjoy many sights there…
Just returned from a cruise around the UK. The Titanic Experience in Belfast is not to be missed. Also The Book of Kells and the Old Library Long Room at Trinity University in Dublin. Just so much to take in. I need another visit🤣
I really, really enjoyed todays video. So well made and so many great places to see. It is wonderful how blessed you know you are too. Hopefully Jenny B will join you on your next trip there. I think she would enjoy it. Have a great week! Leaving in 51 days for next cruise!!
So glad you enjoyed Rotterdam. It was very nostalgic seeing our apartment bldg just across the Swan bridge. I'd love to see Oslo and Copenhagen. Glad you had such a great time.
What a wonderful video. I enjoy hearing your daily news blogs but this one was a wonderful surprise. Some very iconic places visited on that cruise. Thanks for sharing @lalidoloca!
Glad you liked Urquhart Castle and Loch Ness. I lived in the village of Drumnadrochit- the home of the Monster, for 15 years. During that time I drove along the shores of the Loch hundreds of times and even had a boat on the waters there. I never saw a monster but have seen sealions which could easily be mistaken and with a touch of imagination, as something mysterious from years long passed. The Loch is really incapable of sustaining any large aquatic life, but myths are of course good for the local economy 😊
Thank you for the wonderful video. I am getting so excited for my up coming cruise flying to UK and leaving on a 9 day Norwegian cruise then doing a back to back 12 day European cruise. So watching your video is giving me lots of information. Thank you for sharing❤
Looks like an amazing trip and I love Leeds Castle. NB the last King of England was William of Orange in 1688. Since then all monarchs have been monarchs of the United Kingdom.
Great vlog, Tony. We also went to Cotelle when we were on the transatlantic cruise with Don last October. Wonderful sights and sounds and history. Also, I know you are not a farmer so you are forgiven, but my nephew owns a couple Scottish Highland cattle. So yes, we do have them here in the states. You just have to look closely. Thanks for the great vlog(s)!
Wonderful to see my 'home turf' through your eyes! I'm so glad you managed to pack in such a lot of iconic places & hope you'll come back again, we've plenty more for you to see! Much of my travels have been over your side of 'the pond', NY, Washington, San Fran, Vegas, LA, Florida, Niagara,Toronto, & Mexico! Now I'm over all that long flight palaver I'm sticking to cruising on this side have just come back from 1st Princess (Sky) from Southampton to France & Spain, our 7th cruise with 2 more booked! Have been a subscriber for a few years now, love your 'punishments' not seen many lately! Thanks & keep on 'CRUISING'!😎🤗😁
It would've been cool for you if you were able to go to the place where Lego is made 😊 Love this video! I was able to go to Europe last year for 10 days, but it's just never long enough to see everything!
TONY TONY TONY! You surprised me with your reference to Geoffrey Chaucer while not doing a "mash up" with A Knights Tale. I hope your trip to Tivoli Gardens included a stop at the food hall. There is a pizza place that makes the most incredible pizza, that has no more than the equivalent of a Vienna sausage amount of meat, goat sausage, that blew me away. Imagine my shocking surprise, as a meat lovers pizza kind of guy, how much I COULD NOT get enough of it. Amsterdam = Stroop wafels
Loved your video, we just finished our UK explorer on the Viking Venus, and were able to see Canterbury, Oslo, Loch Ness and Edinburgh. This cruise was a once in a lifetime event.
Wow what a wonderful trip . Hopefully you will get to go to the Mediterranean next , so much to see there also , if you get to Malta it’s a small island steeped in history, if you like churches there is more then three hundred on the island and most are mind boggling the beauty in them is amazing 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇲🇹🇲🇹
Some really cool stuff there, Tony! You stated you didn't do much in Amsterdam, you could have(should have?) gone to see Rembrandt's house, I have heard it is a pretty enlightening tour..Maybe next time?...Thanks for sharing the great sites!
Hey, Tony! You’re our favorite cruise reviewer. We think we have you beat on intense upcoming cruise (see below). Before I ask my question, let me answer one of YOURS…We totally like you better as a spaz. I relate because my mum and I ca-ruuuse a lot and you’re the same age as me, so I appreciate your opinions even more. We’ve got 2 back to back cruises coming up on the same ship: The Island Princess, leaving in about a month. We’ve watched many of your reviews, and while you’ve touched a few places, (Denmark, Sweden, Scotland) we haven’t seen much about where we are going; primarily the Baltic countries. I should also say, RC is definitely my favorite cruise line. For this trip, however, we’re on Princess, which has always seemed to me like others feel about HA… old people. I also hate sea days, especially when there’s just old-people stuff to do. Probably why I enjoy RC, I’m your age. Anyway, these are the ports of our itinerary we haven’t been before. if you’ve done these cruises or been to these places, please share your thoughts! 14-Day Scandinavia & Baltic Collection : Bornholm, Denmark; Visby, Sweden; Tallinn, Estonia; Riga, Latvia; Klaipeda, Lithuania (We’re actually going from Riga to Vilnius over night, then catching up in Klaipeda); Gdańsk, Poland. 14-Day Icelandic & Norwegian Fjords - Haugesund, Norway; Alesund, Norway; Seydisfjordur, Iceland; Akureyri, Iceland; Grundarfjordur, Iceland; Reykjavik, Iceland.
We started going to Europe in 1997. It is our favorite place to tour and our favorite way to get there or get home is a transatlantic. You went to some of our favorite places. Great job documenting this.
Totally awesome video, Tony! Thank you so much for sharing these truly amazing highlights with us! Right now, seeing such wonders in person is only a wistful "maybe someday" for us...
Tony, thank you for sharing! This was amazing and we are so lucky that you allow us to come with you on this adventure. I know nothing of cameras but I must say that watching with the rounded lense was difficult at times. I learned so much from this video!

Very cool video. As for Amsterdam now you have a reason to go back to Europe. 🙂
And visit the Anne Frank Museum. Probably one of the most moving sites I have ever visited other than the Dachau concentration camp in Germany. I believe that the Anne Frank house is something everyone should see. And never forget.
I'm rather amazed at the amount of globe you have been able to cover this past year! AND bit by a camel.
WOW! Thank you for sharing your trip with us.
Tony, you are my kind of tourist. I love castles and cathedrals.
Being English and married to a Dane it was great to see what you found interesting in both of our home countries, glad that you enjoyed it all.
In 2018, we stayed in the grooms quarters at Leeds Castle. It was amazing! After they closed, we had the grounds all to ourselves. It was magical!
Thanks for sharing your European experience Tony. It was nicely put together.
In Amsterdam my number 1 place of interest was the Anne Frank Museum. We spent 3 days in Amsterdam before a cruise. So many places to see.
Tony,, that was one of the best videos I’ve ever seen… - Ireland and Scotland are just awesome.. - So much history, it kinda takes you back in time.. - Wow !! 🌷
I'm glad You had an enjoyable transatlantic and European visit.
Looks like a very nice trip.
Thank you so much for the highlights of your tour. It was lovely to see the places in England and Scotland that I have been before, brought back many great memories. Makes me want to go to Europe and see the places that I haven't been. Thanks again.
Thanks Tony- the Vigland sculptures are amazing!!!
Fantastic itinerary Tony! Thanks for taking us along and inspiring us 🌸🌸🌸
Tony, this was my first post in years. This was a terrific video, brings back the videos of old. 🐸
Great video Tony we loved it ,very well made. my wife Vicki and I did a 12 day cruise out of Dover last summer we covered the Baltic Sea area.
Thanks Buddy we watch every day
Tony, fantastic content and narration!
Welcome to transatlantic cruises and Europe!
I'm an American, but I always cruise Europe.
European cruises vs. Caribbean.
Awesome stuff vs. another beach/bad beer.
Thanks so much for these sights!
Enjoyed your memorial tour of northern England, Norway, Scotland. Thank you. Would love to take this cruise.
That was great!!! Thank you so much!
Great overview. Looked like a wonderful experience.
I am so pleased you enjoyed your short visit to my home country UK and as it happens you were so close to where I live when you visited Leeds Castle x
This video was outstanding! I’ve seen most of your posts but a lot of these I’ve not seen.. Thanks!!!❤️
This cruise is a definite bucket list for us. Thanks for sharing 👍 😊 😀
Now THAT was a very EXCELLENT Video, Tony!! Well done, Sir!! KUDOS!!!
👍🤙😎🖖
I literally just left Copenhagen, Denmark, today . I had seen all the local landmarks it was beautiful .
Tony, This was an excellent video. I had the privilege of being on the Rotterdam during this same voyage and experience many of these shore excursions with you. Your video really did an excellent job of showing off the highlights of this wonderful cruise. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.
Just finished a TA on HAL and went to Dover, Rotterdam, Amsterdam as well as Ireland, Azores. So much fun. Canterbury cathedral was unreal!
I love seeing anyone I know going out into the world to find new and interesting things. Enjoy, Tony!
Scotland is on m bucket list, but watching this made me consider Denmark & Norway also.
Great show Tony!
I love museums and always try to find one in any city I visit
Great job Tony. Enjoyed every minute.
Great job of making this video. Europe has a lot of historical places. A must do cruise
What a wonderful synopsis of your trip. I am jealous!!
Great video. I am proud to come from the UK and happy you love our country.
Took a trip down memory lane… was in Copenhagen back in 2017… and had to stay 4 extra nights due to a hurricane in Florida that shit down the airport and created some havoc… so got to enjoy many sights there…
Absolutely gorgeous. Great variety of many different ports and history, world history at that. Totally awesome 👍, great job
We would love to spend a few weeks out there to see all these spots and more.
I watch you all the time Tony. I’m from Newfoundland, Canada
Spectacular trip, Tony. Thanks for sharing your standout memories with us.
Just returned from a cruise around the UK. The Titanic Experience in Belfast is not to be missed. Also The Book of Kells and the Old Library Long Room at Trinity University in Dublin. Just so much to take in. I need another visit🤣

Tony looks like you had a great time and I'm happy for you!! 😊
Thank you again for another great show! We are on our very first cruise, and you are to blame! 😂
You are the best content creator ever! ❤ you are excellent.
So glad you enjoyed Rotterdam. It was very nostalgic seeing our apartment bldg just across the Swan bridge. I'd love to see Oslo and Copenhagen. Glad you had such a great time.
We've been on the Rotterdam twice, love that ship!
This was an amazing cruise you did. They were exciting ports to explore. Loved the video.

Tony I love love this video ❤❤❤I want to make that cruise as well 🎉🎉. Thank you
Fun to watch! Pompeii is a must.
Looks like an amazing trip and I love Leeds Castle. NB the last King of England was William of Orange in 1688. Since then all monarchs have been monarchs of the United Kingdom.
What a glorious trip - so many wonderful sights and sounds and experiences.
Thanks for this video! I'm off on a HAL Northern Europe cruise in 3 weeks so will be seeing some of these sights. Can't wait!
A very nice travelogue. We love going to England and look forward to going back to Scotland as it has been a good while since we were last there.
Great vlog, Tony. We also went to Cotelle when we were on the transatlantic cruise with Don last October. Wonderful sights and sounds and history. Also, I know you are not a farmer so you are forgiven, but my nephew owns a couple Scottish Highland cattle. So yes, we do have them here in the states. You just have to look closely.

Indeed, the churches and Cathedral's all across Europe are unbelievable (inside and out) due to their age and elaborate architecture
We visited Edinburgh Castle in 2015 and Inverness. You had a beautiful, sunny day. This looks like a great cruise. You visited ports I want to visit.
It would've been cool for you if you were able to go to the place where Lego is made 😊
Love this video! I was able to go to Europe last year for 10 days, but it's just never long enough to see everything!
Really enjoyed this video tour. Thanks.
TONY TONY TONY!
You surprised me with your reference to Geoffrey Chaucer while not doing a "mash up" with A Knights Tale.
I hope your trip to Tivoli Gardens included a stop at the food hall. There is a pizza place that makes the most incredible pizza, that has no more than the equivalent of a Vienna sausage amount of meat, goat sausage, that blew me away.

Amsterdam = Stroop wafels
Ahhhh…..Stroop waffles….🤤

I love Edinburgh - one of the coolest cities I've been to!
I enjoyed your tour. I have been to Scotland and have seen Edinburgh castle. I saw the military tattoo there. It brought back memories.
Thank you SO much for sharing.I loved it all!
Thx Tony! Great video-cant wait to do a trip like that.
Fantastic, can’t wait to go someday!
Been there love love loved it ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I was at an open air museum, quite like this one, in The Black Forest of Germany. Wonderful history on display.
Nicely done, now I want to go!
Great review Tony and brilliant video xx
Thank you for sharing such a terrific cruise.
Great video ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing. We are heading to Europe this year
Some really cool stuff there, Tony! You stated you didn't do much in Amsterdam, you could have(should have?) gone to see Rembrandt's house, I have heard it is a pretty enlightening tour..Maybe next time?...Thanks for sharing the great sites!
Brilliant video tony, glad you enjoyed and appreciated our land 👍🏼hopefully one day I'll do the same your side of the pond..good day sir 🛳 🍻

Thanks Tony; always enjoy your travels and commentary. A very well done overview of your first time to Europe.
I was on that cruise but just to Rotterdam , pity I did not get to meet you

I live in Scotland, so glad you enjoyed your visit ❤
We have sheep, and our cattle are hairy in the winter in Kentucky
Lots of open air museums in Germany. The Vogtsbauernhof in the Black Forest is a great one. It could be visited if on a Rhine River cruise
What an interesting trip! Filled with so much history.
