Cruise Crystal Ball: The Wild, Weird, and Wonderful Things Coming in 2026
Description
The Golden Crew is down to its core trio this week — Trevor, Tom, and Jenn — and we’re officially looking ahead. 👀
Before we break for Christmas (yes, no show next week 🎄), we dive headfirst into everything cruise lines are rolling out in 2026, and there is a LOT to unpack.
We talk about Carnival completely rewriting the loyalty rulebook, massive private island upgrades, next-gen mega ships, new beach clubs, high-tech island experiences, Broadway-level entertainment at sea, and even the first hydrogen-powered cruise ship ever built. From Royal Caribbean’s Icon-class future to Virgin Voyages casually sailing coast-to-coast through the Panama Canal, this episode is basically a cruise industry spoiler alert.
If you’re booking for the future, dreaming big, or just love cruise news that makes you say “wait… WHAT?”, this one’s for you.
