Description
2026 travel is shaping up to look very different — and not just where people go, but how they experience it.
In Part 2 of our 2026 Travel Trends series, Ryan and Stephanie break down what travelers are already asking for and what’s coming next, including:
- Why luxury expedition travel is exploding (think Antarctica, Galapagos, and African safaris — without giving up comfort)
- The rise of small ships vs mega ships — and how “ship-within-a-ship” cruising fits in
- Why luxury train travel in the U.S. and Canada is quietly becoming the next big thing
- How AI is moving beyond trip planning and into the actual travel experience
- Why travelers want things easier, calmer, and more hands-off than ever before
This episode isn’t about hype — it’s about how real travelers are spending their money and what that means if you’re planning a trip in 2026 or beyond.
🎧 Listen in, then tell us which trend you’re most excited about.
