"We don't want to go crazy. We've hit a certain niche in this industry with smaller yacht-style cruising, so we don't want to move out of that niche for us," Rodriguez said. The luxury expedition line currently sails three ships that each carry less than 200 passengers to the poles as well as what it calls "epicurean expeditions" in Europe and "cultural expeditions" in destinations like the Caribbean, South America and Northern Europe.

After all, I have stepped on 29 cruise ships since I joined Travel Weekly three years ago. Most were new vessels, although plenty were fresh off a refurbishment and others were workhorses of the brand. These ships ran the gamut from an enormous 7,600-passenger contemporary vessel (I'll give you one guess which ship that was) to a tiny expedition ship in the Antarctic (more on that to come). And there was a kaleidoscope of premium and luxury ships, each with a personality.

Q: What are your plans for Oceania? A: It sounds cliche, but I really want to use the first 90 days as a listening tour. This is a reflection of listening to our team members across the board and also to our customers. I really believe that the backbone of our businesses is the relationships. It all starts there. Q: Oceania just had a big change in leadership with the appointment of Jason Montague as chief luxury officer for Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings. How are you talking to advisors about that?

The crescent-moon-shaped destination long known as Half Moon Cay is largely used now by Holland America Line and Carnival Cruise Line. Working together, the two brands will enhance and expand the cruise destination to feature essentially two ports of call: a south end for HAL and a north end for Carnival Cruise Line. The enhancements are expected to begin to be completed in summer 2026 with additional work continuing through the end of that year.

Not only are the Steves getting back together (!), but @iamstevenhale has a book coming out: Death Row Welcomes You. As @keribla attests, "the stories he tells will haunt you long after you've finished reading." Can't wait to read in him the Banner. 📘🔗 https://t.co/TXx1K2tFws
Random travel tidbit: the May 6 coronation of King Charles III is drawing an influx of Americans to London -- including an increase of Houstonians. https://t.co/dKLNb5PvzE
Texas twitter: put this in the category of things I never thought I would tweet about (although my niece and nephews probably would have loved this when I lived there). https://t.co/x8WC3NpD85
